This $190,957 collaborative research project awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to investigate the tectonic uplift history of the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range in Eastern California. The project will use low-temperature thermochronology and analysis of ancient river sediments to reconcile conflicting models about the timing and causes of the Sierra Nevada's topographic development. Researchers from three universities will mentor...
This $386,491 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to reconcile discrepancies in the uplift history and tectonic causes of the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California. The research will use low-temperature thermochronology and analysis of ancient river deposits to constrain the exhumation history and topographic evolution of the northern Sierra Nevada. The project aims to determine whether...
This $174,786 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to test models for the emplacement of the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite (TIS) magmas in California's Sierra Nevada mountains. The project will use in-situ zircon geochronology and geochemistry to characterize the volume and spatial distribution of inherited zircon in the TIS, and investigate the processes that created chemical differences between early and late TIS units....
This $425,988 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to reconstruct precipitation and snowpack patterns in the south-central Sierra Nevada, California during the Holocene epoch. The project aims to use an interdisciplinary approach involving geomorphic field investigations, luminescence geochronology, and hydrologic modeling to develop detailed water-level records and understand long-term climate variability in...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences supports a collaborative research project led by Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation, a Hispanic Serving Institution. The $296,973 award, effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026, will fund an undergraduate cohort experience to investigate the tectonic and geologic history of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest. The research team will apply advanced thermochronology...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $187,835 to The University Corporation, a non-profit organization in Northridge, California, for a collaborative research project titled "Glacier Resilience During the Holocene and Late Pleistocene in Northern California". The project aims to reconstruct past glacier changes in the Trinity Alps region of the Klamath Mountains over the past 20,000 years using methods such as...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project on glacier resilience and climate change in the Trinity Alps region of northern California. The $409,202 award to the Humboldt State University Sponsored Programs Foundation, a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution, runs from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.050 Geosciences) provides $145,003.00 to the University of Illinois to conduct collaborative research on glaciers and climate change in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. The primary objectives are to reconstruct past glacier changes over the last 20,000 years in this region and evaluate the mechanisms driving these climate changes. The study will use a multidisciplinary approach including geomorphic mapping,...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
