This $358,605 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), is supporting research to advance the understanding of how fault zone material properties influence the slip behavior of oceanic transform faults. The project aims to elucidate the links between field observations and laboratory-derived rock properties to determine the controls on aseismic versus seismic slip along these faults. Key activities include analyzing crustal and upper mantle...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award totaling $544,307 will fund a collaborative research project to investigate seismic cycle processes in the "earthquake critical zone" - the uppermost 1 km of a fault zone where seismic waves, rocks, fluids, and the built environment intersect. The research team from Utah State University (USU) will bridge geoscience and engineering concepts, data, and models to deliver publicly available...
This $238,111 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Harvard University from August 2022 through July 2025 to develop an understanding of the factors controlling ground surface deformation during thrust and reverse fault earthquakes. Through discrete element modeling, the researchers will generate over 6,000 two-dimensional models and additional three-dimensional models to statistically assess how fault and sediment parameters...
This Project Grant award of $320,192 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research at the University of Washington to investigate the relationship between metamorphic dehydration reactions in subducting oceanic crust and the occurrence of deep slow slip earthquakes in subduction zones. The research aims to provide geologic evidence for the hypothesized role of fluid production from these reactions in generating the high pore fluid...
This $119,779 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the geophysical observations of slow slip and tremor events in subduction zones. The research aims to reconcile these observations with geological and rheological constraints by analyzing rock samples from subduction complexes to identify evidence of slow slip and tremor. Key activities include:
Investigating the types of rocks...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research examining the interplay between fault material strength, roughness and friction at various scales. The award will support work conducted between June 2021 through May 2023 in Santa Cruz, California. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise's understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Geosciences program aims to expand...
This $291,843 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project led by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology to investigate the long-term evolution of the Denali Fault Zone in Alaska. The project aims to understand how moderately dipping sutures, formed by the collision of crustal blocks, transform into vertically-oriented strike-slip faults such as the Denali Fault over geologic timescales....
This National Science Foundation project grant of $117,832 awarded on July 1, 2022 will support research into the geological processes that have shaped the continental lithosphere beneath New England through time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the investigators from Williams College and research institutions will conduct seismic imaging of the crust and upper mantle using data from deployments of seismometers in New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine....
This $367,031 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to observe and study the evolution of frictional interfaces, such as those found in earthquake faults and glacier systems. The goal is to better understand the fundamental mechanisms that drive the stability of these interfaces through direct observation of coupled processes like nucleation, slip, healing, and melting. The research team, led by The...
The University of Massachusetts received a $371,071 project grant award from the National Science Foundation on April 1, 2021 to support research examining the role of strike-slip fault interaction on long-term slip rates. The three-year award, made under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund basic research exploring integrated earth system processes through studying the effects of interacting strike-slip faults on slip accumulation over time. The Geosciences program aims to...
