This $184,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program supports a collaborative research effort to study the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research team, led by Montana State University, will conduct a continental-scale analysis of sedimentary basins and mélange belts across four transects in California, British Columbia, southeast Alaska, and central Alaska. Key objectives include determining the age,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Purdue University will provide $256,352 from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027 to conduct a continental-scale study of Jurassic-Cretaceous basins and mélange belts along the North American Cordillera. The research aims to test competing models for the Mesozoic development of the western Cordillera and its implications for subduction polarity. Key activities will include analyzing the age, provenance,...
The National Science Foundation awarded Trinity University a three-year Project Grant totaling $198,401 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) beginning September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant funds collaborative research to test models of the late Jurassic Nevadan orogeny through determining the age, provenance, and structural evolution of the Galice and Mariposa sedimentary basins in Oregon and California. This work will enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system by...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $164,486 to the University of Alabama to conduct collaborative research evaluating tectonic models for the western U.S. Cordillera through the metamorphic history of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schists. The research aims to test the viability of the flat slab subduction model against alternative hypotheses, including terrane collision, by determining the age, pressure, and temperature recorded...
The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, received a $161,467 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program to conduct a continental-scale study of Jurassic-Cretaceous basins and mélange belts along the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research aims to test models for the Mesozoic subduction processes that formed these geological features from central Alaska to California. Key activities include analyzing the age,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $185,478.00 in funding to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to evaluate tectonic models for the western United States Cordillera region through a detailed study of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schist. The researchers will use modern analytical techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, bulk chemical analysis, and pressure-temperature modeling, to determine the age, pressure, and temperature...
This $185,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to leverage isotopic compositions of igneous systems to resolve the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research, led by the University of Texas at El Paso, aims to determine the distribution and geometry of subducted sediment in the continental crust by using igneous rocks as "deep-crustal probes" to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded $127,423 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to The University Corporation for a project grant titled "Collaborative Research: A New Appraisal of Tectonic Mobility in the Northern Cordillera Using Connections Between the Coast Mountains Batholith and Alberta Foreland Basin - Western North America." The grant will support research from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025 to evaluate hypotheses about...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $368,003 Project Grant to Texas Tech University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research testing models for the Late Jurassic Nevadan orogeny. The research aims to determine the age, provenance, and structural evolution of the Galice and Mariposa basins in Oregon and California through analysis of basin sediments and tectonic structures. The grant will fund research...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
