This $445,139 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to improve imaging of Earth's interior, particularly the mantle beneath the South Pacific. The researchers will use data from a new type of free-floating ocean instrument called MERMAID to update and enhance models of mantle wavespeeds and discontinuities. This will provide new insights into mantle...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $227,396 to Colorado State University to conduct collaborative research on analyzing global seismic data to understand and quantify the evolution of ocean wave activity and its impact on Earth systems. The project aims to advance the understanding of long-term observational records of Earth's microseism field, investigate geophysical source processes driving seismic signals...
This $107,298 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Rochester to investigate the evolution of magnetic fields on Earth and other planets. Over five years, the award will support graduate student and local high school/undergraduate student-led research using computer modeling and shock experiments to study early planetary core formation and the potential influence of meteorite impacts on generating magnetic...
This $249,414 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to conduct seismic reflection imaging of volcanic cycles at the East Pacific Rise. The primary awardee, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will repeat a 3D multichannel seismic survey conducted in 2008 to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the seafloor have changed over the past decade. The time-lapse...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award for $349,455 will support research to improve understanding of seafloor spreading and volcanic activity at the Endeavour segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The project will deploy additional seafloor seismometers to enhance an existing cabled observatory network, allowing for better monitoring and analysis of precursory earthquakes associated with impending seafloor "diking" events where new...
The University of Rochester received a $357,817 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The award will support the development of a seismic model for investigating layering in cratonic lithosphere beneath Africa from September 2021 through August 2024.
The model will be developed under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
This $213,696 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award will support research to gain new insights into the subsurface magma reservoirs below Hawaii. The project will use seismic data and modern imaging techniques to determine the depth, dimensions, and melt fraction of magma storage zones, and explore the relationship between magma migration and seismic activity. The research will be conducted by the University of Illinois, with a PhD student...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $236,732 to Louisiana State University to conduct a seismic experiment investigating the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to collect new 2D/3D marine seismic data along the eastern North American margin to study the evolution of oceanic crust and mantle during the first ~50 million years of Atlantic Ocean formation. The seismic data will...
This $228,331 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to understand the evolution of continental lithosphere beneath New England through geologic time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team will employ seismic imaging techniques and analyze geologic structures exposed at the surface to illuminate plate tectonic processes that have shaped the region. Specifically, the investigators from the University of Vermont and partner...
