This $291,843 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) to investigate how accretionary sutures evolve into major strike-slip fault systems along the western margin of North America. The project aims to study the long-term evolution of the Denali Fault Zone in Alaska, which marks the boundary between the North American continental crust 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...
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...
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...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a 3-year Project Grant totaling $265,694 to Western Washington University to study the impact of terrane accretion on the evolution of fault systems in the Eastern Himalaya. This research project, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will reconstruct the kinematic history of a key fault system in the Eastern Himalayan indenter corner, testing the hypothesis that the accretion of sliver terranes along...
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...
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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award for $226,022, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative seismic investigation of slow slip and fault locking along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The research team from the University of Washington will deploy broadband seismic instruments on land and use distributed acoustic sensing technology with fiber optic cables in the Cook Inlet region to model the structure and seismic wave speeds within the Pacific...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research examining the interplay between fault material strength, roughness and friction at various scales. The award will support work conducted between June 2021 through May 2023 in Santa Cruz, California. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise's understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Geosciences program aims to expand...
