This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award provides $276,237 to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct a multidisciplinary re-examination of the precursory activity leading up to an archetype M7 eruption at Mount Mazama in Oregon. The research aims to identify changes within the magma storage region that led to the catastrophic eruption and Crater Lake formation approximately 7,700 years ago. The project will track the products of explosive and...
This Project Grant award for $387,558 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Oregon. The project aims to develop methods for extracting statistically robust patterns from existing volcanic records, analyzing volcanism as a temporal, spatial, and spatio-temporal process. Key goals include identifying the most active volcanoes, delineating the extent of volcanic fields, and forecasting the timing...
This $374,308 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at Montana State University focused on understanding the pre-eruptive processes and timescales that trigger volcanic eruptions, particularly at Alaska's Okmok volcano. The research team will integrate geochemical analysis of erupted products with geophysical monitoring data to elucidate the deep magmatic processes that lead to different eruption styles, volumes, and...
This $597,328 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative, multi-disciplinary research effort to investigate the long-term impacts of large igneous province volcanism on climate and biological recovery. Key objectives include: 1) developing high-resolution records of volcanism, weathering, climate, and life; 2) modeling the coupled processes of mantle dynamics, magma transport, and volcanic outgassing; 3) assimilating...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant award for $180,000 from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026 will support research to develop a new "Eruption Stability Diagram" classification system for volcanic eruptions. The objective is to better understand and predict the evolution of volcanic hazards, such as ash clouds and pyroclastic density currents, by accounting for the effects of varying eruption rates and micrometer-scale processes. The research...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
This National Science Foundation Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $292,742 to the University of Houston System will fund collaborative research to re-evaluate magma storage depths and the origin of chemical variability in volcanic systems in the Cascade region. The key products of this 3-year project include: Measuring the volatile contents, including CO2, in olivine-hosted melt inclusions to better constrain magma storage depths in the Cascade region and gain insights into...
This $490,303 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project aimed at improving the understanding of lava flow properties and their impact on volcanic eruption hazard assessment. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing and deploying two new field tools to directly measure the viscosity of natural lava flows, which contain critical elements like bubbles and crystals...
This $1,006,501 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to understand the processes that shape climate and biotic recovery following major carbon cycle perturbations driven by large igneous province volcanism. The project aims to develop high-resolution records of volcanism, climate, and weathering, and to integrate these with models of mantle geodynamics, magma transport, and outgassing....
This $158,481 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by Lehigh University to investigate the relationship between changes in glaciers, topography, and the behavior of active volcanoes in Chile over the past 50,000 years. The research aims to generate high-resolution records of volcanic activity, ice retreat, and landscape evolution, and use this data to explore how crustal loading changes driven...
