This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $464,798 to Louisiana State University to conduct a collaborative seismic experiment investigating mantle dynamics during the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The research aims to understand how the central Atlantic Ocean first formed approximately 190 million years ago when the Pangaea supercontinent rifted apart. The project will collect new marine seismic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $178,801 to Syracuse University to conduct a collaborative research project investigating mantle dynamics during the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The research aims to shed light on the evolution of oceanic crust and mantle as the Atlantic formed over the first 50 million years of seafloor spreading. The project will collect 2D and 3D seismic data along...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $170,516 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to investigate periodicity patterns in abyssal hill morphology in the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to employ a newly-developed algorithm to detect and quantify any periodic signals embedded within the otherwise random abyssal hill profiles, which could provide insights into mid-ocean ridge dynamics and plate formation processes....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $533,300 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to the University of Texas at Austin for research investigating links between physical surface processes, ocean oxygenation, and organic carbon burial during the establishment of the South Atlantic Ocean from 150-100 million years ago. The goal is to better understand how the opening of a major oceanic gateway affected depositional responses to local basin settings,...
This Project Grant award of $655,938 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to conduct 3D multichannel seismic surveys at the East Pacific Rise volcanic system. The goal is to create high-resolution imagery that can be used to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems have changed over the past decade, providing insights into volcanic cycles on decadal timescales. The project will partner with industry...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $249,414 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct collaborative research on seismic reflection imaging of volcanic cycles at the East Pacific Rise. The project aims to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the seafloor spreading axis have changed over the past decade through a time-lapse 3D seismic survey, building on previous data...
This $445,139 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to improve imaging of Earth's interior, particularly the mantle beneath the South Pacific. The researchers will use data from a new type of free-floating ocean instrument called MERMAID to update and enhance models of mantle wavespeeds and discontinuities. This will provide new insights into mantle...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $227,396 to Colorado State University to conduct collaborative research on analyzing global seismic data to understand and quantify the evolution of ocean wave activity and its impact on Earth systems. The project aims to advance the understanding of long-term observational records of Earth's microseism field, investigate geophysical source processes driving seismic signals generated...
This Project Grant award, valued at $442,114, was issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin. The objective of the research is to study how the pelagic calcifier communities in the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre evolved from the early Eocene to the early Oligocene, and how those changes impacted carbonate production and burial at the seafloor. The project will generate data from sediment cores collected during...
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...
