The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $191,102 Project Grant to The University of Iowa to conduct collaborative research on the role of the Porcupine Fault System in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. This grant, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to examine this fault system in northeastern Alaska and northwestern Yukon, Canada, which is believed to have played a significant yet poorly understood part in the formation of the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $247,428 Project Grant to Trustees of Dartmouth College, Office of Sponsored Projects Division (Dartmouth College), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The goal of this 3-year collaborative research project is to examine the Porcupine Fault System in northeastern Alaska and northwestern Yukon, Canada, which likely played a key role in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. The research involves a new...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $175,666 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The funding will support collaborative research examining the role of the Porcupine Fault System in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. This study involves a new partnership between early career and senior academic researchers, federal and state/territory...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $300,000 to the University of California San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, to study earthquake processes and fault zone conditions at the GOFAR oceanic transform fault. The project will use seafloor seismometer data to examine the earthquake cycle, including microearthquake focal mechanisms, stress drops, and VP/VS ratios, in order to understand the physical controls on...
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 (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program supports research to understand how accretionary sutures in the western margin of North America evolved into the modern-day strike-slip faults. The $195,590 award to Western Washington University will fund a collaborative project to study the long-term evolution of the Denali Fault Zone in Alaska. The researchers will integrate structural and kinematic analysis with detailed petrographic and...
This $879,520 National Science Foundation award through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds a collaborative research project examining the implications of rapid Arctic change for fisheries and fishing communities in the western North Atlantic. Led by the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, the project builds a network to develop a climate vulnerability assessment and predictive models evaluating how changes in the Arctic cryosphere and ocean circulation affect ecosystem and fishery...
This $291,843 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T) to investigate how accretionary sutures evolve into major strike-slip fault systems along the western margin of North America. The project aims to study the long-term evolution of the Denali Fault Zone in Alaska, which marks the boundary between the North American continental crust and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $335,468 to Princeton University from December 2021 through November 2023. The funding supports research titled "Quantifying the Chukchi Sea's Role in Modulating Present and Future Changes of Pacific Waters in the Arctic" under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental Earth systems knowledge through basic research support. This award will...
This $137,133 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports collaborative research by the University of California, Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The research aims to reconstruct the interactions and dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems, focusing on the evolution of large marine organisms like baleen whales during periods of climate change and resource exploitation. The project will...
