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 National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences project grant of $209,641 will fund research from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025 to reconstruct magmatic plumbing systems using fluid inclusions. Led by Cornell University, this award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support three principal investigators to precisely measure densities of carbon dioxide-rich fluids trapped in crystals from volcanic eruptions on Hawaii and the Canary Islands. By determining fluid...
This three-year, $337,782 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at California State University Fullerton and Princeton University to determine the time and length scales of magma bodies in magmatic arcs. The grant recipients will study potassium feldspar phenocrysts and megacrysts up to 12 cm long containing mineral inclusions from the Tuolumne Intrusive Complex in Yosemite National Park. Electron microprobe, laser...
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...
Cornell University was awarded a three-year, $433,198 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) beginning July 1, 2023. Under this award, Cornell will systematically map magma bodies beneath Cascades volcanoes in Washington, Oregon, and northern California through seismic imaging techniques. Working with the U.S. Geological Survey's Cascades Volcano Observatory, Cornell researchers will analyze seismic data from newly deployed instruments near volcano...
This $335,489 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project focused on understanding the depth-dependent decarbonation processes that occur when hot magma interacts with the Earth's crust in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. The project combines field studies, laboratory analyses, and numerical modeling to explore how metamorphic pressure, temperature, and fluid availability influence...
This $303,170 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research on magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The primary awardee, The University Corporation, a non-profit auxiliary organization affiliated with California State University, Northridge, will work with researchers in New Zealand to link field data, geochemistry, and geochronology to investigate whether...
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...
Cornell University received a $348,300 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to investigate volatile evolution and decompression rates of high-intensity basaltic eruptions. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in integrated Earth system sciences, Cornell will conduct field and laboratory research over three years from July 2023 to June 2026. The university will analyze melt inclusions and reconstruct chemical...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to investigate the behavior of moderately volatile elements during silicate evaporation. The $376,781 grant, awarded on January 1, 2025, will fund research to create a volatility scale of trace elements and determine activity coefficients in silicate melts. The findings will help improve models predicting the volatility of these elements,...
