This $321,770 federal project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program on February 1, 2024 supports collaborative research by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate links between deep and shallow volatile cycles of the Earth. The research aims to improve understanding of processes driving plate tectonics, the Earth's water and carbon cycles, and climate through analysis of seismic data and geochemical data from mid-ocean ridge rock...
The University of Rhode Island received a $250,644 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "ADVANCES IN UNDERSTANDING THE BIOGEOCHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF SERPENTINITES (AUBES)" from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under this award, URI researchers in Kingston, Rhode...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
This Project Grant award of $476,591 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by the University of Utah to investigate the impacts of water content and mantle composition on melting processes in the Earth's mantle. The project will integrate high-pressure, high-temperature laboratory experiments and geochemical numerical modeling to develop the first comprehensive model for predicting the effects of water on melting a...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provided $236,079 to the University of Rhode Island from February 2021 through October 2021. The funding supported the "VIRTUAL SEQUENTIAL LABS FOR SELECTION OF THE NEXT OOI PIONEER ARRAY LOCATION" project under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. For this award, URI...
This $228,331 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to understand the evolution of continental lithosphere beneath New England through geologic time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team will employ seismic imaging techniques and analyze geologic structures exposed at the surface to illuminate plate tectonic processes that have shaped the region. Specifically, the investigators from the University of Vermont and partner...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $385,643 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to investigate magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The 3-year research project will link field mapping, microstructural analysis, geochemistry, and geochronology to test competing models for how magmas form and are extracted from the deep roots of continental arcs. The...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to Providence, Rhode Island for research entitled "GLOBAL INVESTIGATION OF THE MANTLE FROM SHEAR VELOCITY PROFILES WITH A FOCUS ON THE WATER CONTENT AND TEMPERATURE OF THE MANTLE TRANSITION ZONE." The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $145,872 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Florida (USF) to investigate volcanism and tectonics in the Bight Transform region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The project will utilize deep-sea robotic vehicles to map and sample submarine volcanoes near the Bight Transform Fault, with the goal of understanding the formation of oceanic crust and seafloor volcanoes. The research will analyze the collected...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $220,434 Project Grant through its Geosciences program to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation. The grant will support research to investigate volcanic and tectonic processes in the California Borderlands region, an area off the coast of Southern California that has experienced significant faulting, rotation, volcanism, and a transition from subduction to strike-slip tectonics over the past 30 million years. The...
