- 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 National Science Foundation Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $191,257 to Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas supports a collaborative, continental-scale research study on the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research aims to evaluate competing models for the tectonic processes that formed the Cordillera, coupling the analysis of mélange belts and sedimentary basins across four transects from Alaska to California. The project will...
- 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 Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
- 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...
