This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to study the tectonic uplift history of the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. The $304,910 award, effective August 15, 2024, will fund the use of low-temperature thermochronology and analysis of ancient river deposits to reconcile conflicting models of the Sierra Nevada's geological development. The research involves researchers from...
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 $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 $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 $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 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, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $335,489 to Florida State University to conduct research on depth-dependent decarbonation in the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California. The research aims to understand how high-pressure and high-temperature metamorphic processes involving the interaction of hot magma with the Earth's crust can drive the release of carbon and the formation of economically valuable mineral...
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 (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $185,478.00 in funding to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to evaluate tectonic models for the western United States Cordillera region through a detailed study of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schist. The researchers will use modern analytical techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, bulk chemical analysis, and pressure-temperature modeling, to determine the age, pressure, and temperature...
This three-year, $393,948 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The grantee, the University Corporation at California State University, Northridge, will support field work and laboratory analyses in the San Gabriel Mountains to better understand the timing and driving forces behind mountain building in the western...
