This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $743,180 to the University of Texas at Austin to develop new tools for understanding and predicting the impacts of thawing Arctic permafrost and the associated release of carbon into the oceans. The project aims to overcome limitations of data sparsity by combining data-driven and physics-driven approaches to create efficient surrogate models that capture the multi-physics processes...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) is funding the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between Earth's surface and interior processes. The $123,880 award, running from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2028, will couple two widely used open-source community software packages - ASPECT and LANDLAB - to...
This $518,605 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to quantify strain and fluid flow along subduction interfaces. Penn State University will lead efforts to characterize chemical and mechanical processes controlling the healing of subduction zones between large earthquakes. Researchers will study ancient subduction exposures in Japan and Alaska spanning depths of 8-20 km and temperatures of 150-350°C. Electron...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) was provided to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate fluid migration and interactions in subduction zones. The $285,976 award, effective February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030, supports four key tasks: 1) petrological assessment of fluid-rock interactions at 25-60 km depths, 2) reconstruction of pressure-temperature-time conditions, 3) whole-rock...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $349,754 to Montana State University (MSU) to quantify how century to millennial-scale hillslope geomorphic processes influence the storage of ice and carbon in Arctic permafrost soils. The research aims to shed light on fundamental geological processes that control the resilience and vulnerability of ground-ice and carbon in permafrost landscapes, which is critical for understanding future...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $499,709 to the University of Oklahoma to conduct collaborative research linking fold-thrust belt activity in the Canadian Rocky Mountains to the response in the adjacent Alberta foreland basin. The research team will apply novel methodologies, including low-temperature thermochronology and thermokinematic modeling, to constrain the timing and magnitude of shortening within the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) in the amount of $346,273 supports a collaborative research project investigating the long-term evolution of the Denali Fault Zone in Alaska. The University of Alaska Fairbanks will integrate quantitative structural and kinematic analyses with high-resolution pressure-temperature-time histories of metamorphic rocks to better understand how moderately dipping collisional sutures can transition into...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports fundamental research and development at the University of Tulsa to advance the modeling and analysis of CO2 transport in porous media for geological carbon sequestration. The $157,471 award, effective July 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, aims to develop computationally efficient data-driven models to predict and analyze the complex flow behavior of CO2 in geological formations. The...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $220,031 supports research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Penn State University from January 2023 through December 2024. The grant is funded through the NSF's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), which enhances STEM competitiveness through capacity building and broadening participation in research. Specifically, the grant will fund the development of a novel fault sliding test system to experimentally investigate the evolution...
