This $337,293 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research on the relationship between tectonic faulting and near-surface deformation on the San Andreas Fault in California. The lead researcher and team at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), a Hispanic-Serving Institution, will use geophysical techniques such as ground penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography, coupled with satellite...
This Project Grant award of $167,238 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research led by Oregon State University (OSU) to investigate the tectono-magmatic response to a transitioning plate boundary in the California Borderlands region off the coast of Southern California. The project aims to define the timing and geochemical characteristics of volcanic activity associated with the subduction of spreading centers and the transition from a subduction...
This $191,710 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is supporting a collaborative research effort to address fundamental issues linking great earthquakes with plate tectonics. The interdisciplinary team, led by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), is developing advanced computational methods and algorithms to enable the simulation of long-term tectonic plate motions coupled with the space-time evolution of stresses...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $470,318 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from October 2021 through December 2022. The award will support collaborative research to better understand the contribution of crustal deformation to present-day tectonics at convergent margins like the southern Cascadia forearc. Researchers will utilize multiple geochronologic techniques to develop a record of exhumation and erosion in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $224,382 to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to develop a detailed 3D model of the Los Angeles Basin. The goal is to better understand the basin's complex tectonic history and improve seismic hazard assessment for the densely populated region. The project will analyze data from a temporary 300-node geophone array deployed across the LA Basin in 2022, combining it with...
This $145,692 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds the development of a calibrated remote sensing-based age model for improving late Quaternary slip-rate estimates in arid environments. Led by the University Enterprises Corporation at California State University, San Bernardino, the May 2022-December 2023 award utilizes machine learning to integrate multiple types of remotely sensed data with published age data. This will yield a model to...
