The National Science Foundation awarded Purdue University a $244,185 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the timing and drivers of escarpment retreat in southeast Australia. The research aims to reevaluate the long-standing paradigm on the geomorphic evolution of this region, with the broader goal of understanding how continental rifting shapes the topography of passive continental margins. The project will collect and analyze geologic data to inform new...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $470,318 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from October 2021 through December 2022. The award will support collaborative research to better understand the contribution of crustal deformation to present-day tectonics at convergent margins like the southern Cascadia forearc. Researchers will utilize multiple geochronologic techniques to develop a record of exhumation and erosion in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support fundamental research to expand knowledge of the Earth system, provides $111,760 to Suffolk County Community College from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2027. The funding will support a collaborative research project to integrate fluorspar dating and geophysical models to constrain the timing and mechanisms of the collapse of the Cordillera mountain range in...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program awarded a $498,356 project grant to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) for the project "Controls on Ridgeline Profile Morphology." This 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, will fund research to improve the understanding of how ridgelines are shaped and eroded, which is key to predicting natural hazards like landslides, debris flows, and river flooding. The project will test three hypotheses about the controls on ridgeline...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $399,282 to the University of South Carolina to conduct collaborative research on the thermal structure of an ancient Alpine subduction zone. The research team will integrate petrochronology (pressure-temperature-time constraints) of exhumed rocks from the Western Alps with geodynamic subduction modeling to characterize the time-evolving thermal conditions along the paleo-subduction...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $286,415 Project Grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of climate change on tropical glacierized volcanoes in the Andes of Ecuador. The overarching objective is to determine how glacier retreat on culturally and ecologically critical Andean volcanoes is triggering impacts on water supply, vegetation, land-use, and elemental...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $311,914 provides funding to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2028 to advance the understanding of plate tectonics and mantle dynamics in Africa. The project will develop high-resolution models of the deep Earth structure beneath Africa using seismic and geodetic data to investigate the coupling between the African lithosphere and the...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $699,380 project grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University, under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research to integrate fluorspar age dating and geophysical models to investigate the timing and mechanisms of the collapse of the Cordillera mountain range in southwestern North America approximately 30 million...
