This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program supports research to understand how accretionary sutures in the western margin of North America evolved into the modern-day strike-slip faults. The $195,590 award to Western Washington University will fund a collaborative project to study the long-term evolution of the Denali Fault Zone in Alaska. The researchers will integrate structural and kinematic analysis with detailed petrographic and...
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 $544,307 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project investigating seismic cycle processes in the earthquake critical zone of major continental strike-slip faults. The research team, led by Utah State University (USU), will bridge geoscience and engineering concepts, data, and models to deliver research products and broader impacts across six key pathways: Establishing a...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $247,428 Project Grant to Trustees of Dartmouth College, Office of Sponsored Projects Division (Dartmouth College), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The goal of this 3-year collaborative research project is to examine the Porcupine Fault System in northeastern Alaska and northwestern Yukon, Canada, which likely played a key role in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. The research involves a new...
The University of Alaska Fairbanks received a $290,273 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on arc plutonism along the Denali Fault in Alaska from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The grant supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through studying possible fault controls on incremental magma transport and assembly along the long-lived strike-slip Denali Fault. The Geosciences...
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...
The University of California, Davis will conduct collaborative research on arc plutonism along the Denali Fault in Alaska under a $185,631 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The research aims to study possible fault controls on incremental magma transport and assembly along the long-lived strike-slip Denali Fault. The grant was awarded on July 1, 2021 for a three-year period concluding on June 30, 2024. The research supports the NSF's Geosciences...
The University of Massachusetts received a $371,071 project grant award from the National Science Foundation on April 1, 2021 to support research examining the role of strike-slip fault interaction on long-term slip rates. The three-year award, made under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund basic research exploring integrated earth system processes through studying the effects of interacting strike-slip faults on slip accumulation over time. The Geosciences program aims to...
This three-year, $298,432 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research on tectonic escape mechanisms in the Alaskan Cordillera. Principal investigators from the University of Alaska Fairbanks will study how plate tectonics causes continental fragments to detach and migrate long distances, shaping mountainous terrain in western North America over the past 100 million years. They will unravel the geologic evolution and uplift history of the Ahklun Mountains to test...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $347,238 to Michigan State University (MSU) to conduct collaborative research on the structure and behavior of the Alaska megathrust subduction zone. The project aims to enhance the fundamental understanding of how geological structures influence seismic activity in subduction zones, with the ultimate goal of improving earthquake hazard mitigation efforts. Key research activities...
