The University of Rochester received a $357,817 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The award will support the development of a seismic model for investigating layering in cratonic lithosphere beneath Africa from September 2021 through August 2024. The model will be developed under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
This four-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences provides $145,779 to Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs to support collaborative research unraveling distributed deformation during early-stage rifting in the western and southwestern African rifts. The grant is part of NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant, awarded on September 1, 2024 for $468,255, supports high-resolution seismic imaging of the crust in the Malawi (Nyasa) Rift in Africa. The researchers at Northern Arizona University will analyze seismic data to create 3D models of crustal seismic wavespeeds, which will help quantify the depth-dependent stretching within and around the rift axis, locate transitions between ancient crustal terranes, and...
This $303,170 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research investigating magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The project, led by researchers at The University Corporation, a non-profit organization affiliated with California State University, Northridge, aims to determine the key mechanisms controlling how magmas are generated and extracted from the deep roots of a...
This five-year, $277,481 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research towards developing a new framework for interpreting mantle deformation. The grantee, Columbia University, will integrate theory, experiments, and observations spanning seismic to convective timescales. Researchers will characterize frequency-dependent upper-mantle dissipation in three locations using seismic and geodetic observations. Laboratory...
This $186,797 federal project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research to improve the characterization of ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) at the Earth's core-mantle boundary. The project aims to develop new waveform inversion techniques and apply them, along with geodynamic modeling, to better understand the properties, formation, and role of ULVZs in mantle processes...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $163,613 to the University of Rochester to conduct research on the evolution of the oceanic plate and upper mantle using deep probabilistic seismic imaging. The project aims to improve understanding of the physical and chemical processes that shape the Earth's crust beneath the seafloor through the use of machine learning algorithms to analyze existing seismic data. The research involves...
This $227,192 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to unravel spatiotemporal deformation patterns in the Basin and Range and Walker Lane provinces of the western United States. The award to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation will combine geochronology methods and scaffolded peer-to-peer student mentoring to advance understanding of how tectonic plates interact through convergent,...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to characterize the crust-mantle boundary and address uncertainties about the relationships between seismic and petrological features at this critical interface. The $119,807 award to the University of Colorado Boulder, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, combines seismic data analysis, petrophysical modeling, and method development to better...
