The University of South Carolina was awarded a $124,073 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) on May 1, 2025. The grant will fund collaborative research to investigate volcanism and tectonics in the Bight Transform region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between 55.5°N and 57.0°N. The project will use deep-sea robotic vehicles to map and sample submarine volcanoes near the Bight Transform Fault, with the goal of analyzing the sampled rocks to better...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $220,434 Project Grant through its Geosciences program to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation. The grant will support research to investigate volcanic and tectonic processes in the California Borderlands region, an area off the coast of Southern California that has experienced significant faulting, rotation, volcanism, and a transition from subduction to strike-slip tectonics over the past 30 million years. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $195,944 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Tennessee (UT) to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of the Tristan-Gough-Walvis Ridge hotspot system in the South Atlantic Ocean. The project will investigate the changing magmatic processes and interactions between the hotspot and overlying lithosphere during continental rifting and seafloor spreading through geochemical and geochronological...
This Project Grant award of $655,938 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to conduct a 3-D multichannel seismic survey at the 9°50'N segment of the East Pacific Rise. The goal is to repeat an identical seismic experiment performed in 2008 in order to obtain high-resolution imagery and investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the spreading axis have changed over the past decade. This...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant, awarded to Brown University for $296,096 from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, supports research to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes. The project aims to advance understanding of how the storage and migration of magma affect the eruptibility of volcanoes, a key question in the Earth sciences with wide-ranging scientific and societal implications. The researchers will...
This $364,996 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Barbara and Cardiff University in the United Kingdom. The research aims to provide unique insights into the construction of hotspot volcanoes by mapping and sampling the interior of a volcano on Maio Island in the Cape Verde archipelago. The project will investigate how magma from the hotspot...
This $349,455 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort between the University of Washington and the Canadian National Facility for Seismological Investigations to study seafloor spreading and volcanic activity at the Endeavour segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The project will deploy a network of additional autonomous seafloor seismometers to enhance an existing cabled observatory network,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $249,414 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct a collaborative research project focused on seismic reflection imaging of volcanic cycles at the East Pacific Rise over decadal timescales. The project will repeat a 3D multichannel seismic survey conducted in 2008 to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the seafloor spreading axis have...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to measure the deformation of the seafloor off Kīlauea Volcano in Hawaii over a 4-year period. The $133,966 award will fund the deployment of a seafloor geodesy network of 4 GNSS-acoustic sites to track horizontal displacement rates, as well as pressure surveys to determine vertical deformation over the past 20 years. This research aims to better...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $335,327 to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to measure the deformation of the seafloor off Kīlauea Volcano in Hawaii. The project will deploy a network of 4 GNSS-acoustic seafloor geodesy sites to track horizontal displacement along the Kīlauea décollement, a major offshore fault. It will also reoccupy previously measured...
