This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $136,771 to support research characterizing the kinematics and dynamics of the Eastern Eurasian and Western North American Arctic regions. The principal investigators, Flesch and Elliott, will analyze GPS data to map current surface movements and develop computer models to understand the forces driving fault slip and earthquakes in this active tectonic area. The goal is to establish a regionally consistent velocity field incorporating both GPS and mid-oceanic ridge spreading rates to better comprehend the contribution of factors like gravity, mantle flow, and potential subduction to surface motions in Alaska and the Arctic. This work will help assess earthquake risk in the region. The award has an effective date of August 1, 2024, and an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2027. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
