This $118,260 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the effects of lithospheric foundering on mountain building processes in the Southern Puna Plateau of Argentina. The key products and services to be delivered include: Generating new geological datasets and numerical modeling results to test hypotheses about modes of lithosphere removal and their impact on the geologic record in the...
This $375,631 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate the effects of lithospheric foundering, or the detachment and sinking of the lower crust and mantle lithosphere, on the formation of large mountain belts and high plateaus. The research focuses on the Southern Puna Plateau in northwest Argentina, where multiple potential lithosphere removal events have been hypothesized based on...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Hebrew University to directly measure fault rupture dynamics and seismic wave propagation in a laboratory setting. The $399,601 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will leverage specialized laboratory equipment to conduct high-speed imaging and in-situ seismogram...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research effort between California State University San Bernardino and the University of Cincinnati. The $354,304 award aims to recruit junior-level university students and sophomore-level community college students into geosciences educational and career tracks through year-long, cohort-based, authentic geologic research experiences. The research activities focus...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, awarded to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), aims to advance the understanding of subduction fault and earthquake mechanics. Through a combination of new experiments on subduction zone rocks and numerical modeling, the project will investigate how the rheology (deformation behavior) of the megathrust fault zone, and the heterogeneity within it, affect fault slip behavior. Additionally, the project will...
This $337,293 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research on the relationship between tectonic faulting and near-surface deformation on the San Andreas Fault in California. The lead researcher and team at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), a Hispanic-Serving Institution, will use geophysical techniques such as ground penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography, coupled with satellite...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate seismic cycle processes in the "earthquake critical zone" - the upper 1 km of fault zones where seismic waves, rocks, fluids, and the built environment intersect. The $277,792 award to Brown University, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029, will fund research on two major continental strike-slip...
This three-year, $393,948 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The grantee, the University Corporation at California State University, Northridge, will support field work and laboratory analyses in the San Gabriel Mountains to better understand the timing and driving forces behind mountain building in the western...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 two-year Project Grant to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research into the spatiotemporal scales of transient slow slip on the San Andreas Fault near San Juan Bautista, Central California, and the implications for seismic hazard assessment in the region. Specifically, the funding will allow researchers to conduct fieldwork and analyses to better understand...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $371,002 to Utah TECH University supports a collaborative research project to investigate the processes by which the lower crust and mantle lithosphere are removed through detachment and sinking, known as "foundering," and the impact of such processes on the geologic record. The project focuses on the Southern Puna Plateau in northwest Argentina, where multiple lithosphere removal events...
