This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $409,681 provides funding for a collaborative research project between Penn State University and Washington University in St. Louis. The research aims to investigate the compositional controls on shear localization and the development of plate tectonics on Earth and other rocky planets. Key objectives include: Determining how the relative proportions and strength contrast between dominant mineral...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $205,000 to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) will fund collaborative research to bridge short and long time scales in global plate tectonics. The interdisciplinary team will develop advanced mathematical and computational algorithms to self-consistently model the coupled dynamics of great earthquakes and plate tectonics. This will involve expanding the capabilities...
This $228,331 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to understand the evolution of continental lithosphere beneath New England through geologic time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team will employ seismic imaging techniques and analyze geologic structures exposed at the surface to illuminate plate tectonic processes that have shaped the region. Specifically, the investigators from the University of Vermont and partner...
This $550,014 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research at Arizona State University to advance understanding of the influence of subducted slabs on thermal and chemical heterogeneities in Earth's lowermost mantle. The awardee will perform high-resolution thermo-chemical modeling using supercomputing to simulate the variable behaviors and interactions of subducted tectonic plates...
This $140,967 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to reevaluate the experimental foundation for rheology models of crust-forming minerals. Principal Investigator Jianbao Korenaga of Yale University will apply statistical methods to obtain new flow laws from existing deformation data for a range of minerals. Undergraduate students will conduct this reanalysis, gaining valuable research experience. The new flow laws...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable...
This $371,002 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort led by Utah TECH University to investigate the processes of lithospheric foundering and its effects on orogenesis, focused on the Southern Puna Plateau in northwest Argentina. The project employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining field-based geological mapping and analysis with advanced numerical modeling, to test hypotheses about how the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) is funding the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between Earth's surface and interior processes. The $123,880 award, running from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2028, will couple two widely used open-source community software packages - ASPECT and LANDLAB - to...
This $107,298 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Rochester to investigate the evolution of magnetic fields on Earth and other planets. Over five years, the award will support graduate student and local high school/undergraduate student-led research using computer modeling and shock experiments to study early planetary core formation and the potential influence of meteorite impacts on generating magnetic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $347,910 to The Trustees of Princeton University supports research to investigate how water influences the formation of Earth's core during the planet's early history. The project will use advanced computer simulations driven by machine learning techniques to model the chemical reactions and element partitioning between metallic fluids and silicate melts under hydrous conditions. This work aims to...
