- 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...
- 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 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 $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....
- 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...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $172,594 Project Grant to Oregon State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a 3-year collaborative undergraduate research project. The grant will fund an investigation into the tectonic and landscape evolution of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest, which was shaped by the accretion of the Siletzia oceanic plateau onto the North American plate millions of years ago. The principal...
- 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's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $489,177 project grant to Texas Tech University System to research the reconstruction of melt compositions across ancient cordilleran arc segments. The goal is to evaluate petrological proxies of crustal thickness and transcrustal differentiation. The research team will collect data from four ancient arc segments in the western U.S. and create field research videos to showcase their findings and raise awareness about...
- This Project Grant award for $398,707 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of Oregon and other institutions to study the geologic history and tectonic evolution of the Pacific Northwest region. The project aims to test models for the surface response to the Eocene collision of the Siletz oceanic terrane with western North America, as well as the subsequent post-collision adjustments that shaped...
