This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to obtain detailed subsurface imaging and characterization of the volcanic rift zones on Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes in Hawaii. The $118,600 award, effective August 15, 2024, will support a collaborative research project led by the University of Utah to deploy seismic monitoring arrays across the rift zones of these active volcanoes. The goal is to better understand the fine...
This $161,641 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Funded from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026, the award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will integrate an active-passive seismic survey of the Kilauea summit with a temporary nodal...
This $699,699 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii after its 2018 collapse. The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will partner with the U.S. Geological Survey to deploy a temporary seismic array and conduct...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $133,966 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. This 5-year grant will fund the deployment of a seafloor geodetic network to measure horizontal and vertical deformation along the submarine south flank of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. The research aims to better understand the geometry and behavior of the offshore fault system, including how seismic, aseismic, and slow-slip events on the fault transfer...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
This $490,303 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project aimed at improving the understanding of lava flow properties and their impact on volcanic eruption hazard assessment. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing and deploying two new field tools to directly measure the viscosity of natural lava flows, which contain critical elements like bubbles and crystals...
This $213,696 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award will support research to gain new insights into the subsurface magma reservoirs below Hawaii. The project will use seismic data and modern imaging techniques to determine the depth, dimensions, and melt fraction of magma storage zones, and explore the relationship between magma migration and seismic activity. The research will be conducted by the University of Illinois, with a PhD student...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, funded under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences, provides $180,000 over 2 years starting August 1, 2023 to explore the significance of spatial field data from integrated satellite remote sensing and GPS time series for machine learning and volcanic early warning applications. The project aims to integrate data from satellite radar, GPS, and high-resolution digital elevation models to generate 3D time series of surface...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 Project Grant to study closing the gap between analogue studies and numerical lava flow models using insights from the 2018 Kilauea eruption. The award period is from June 2021 through May 2023. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), the grantee will strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grantee will enhance...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $145,872 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Florida (USF) to investigate volcanism and tectonics in the Bight Transform region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The project will utilize deep-sea robotic vehicles to map and sample submarine volcanoes near the Bight Transform Fault, with the goal of understanding the formation of oceanic crust and seafloor volcanoes. The research will analyze the collected...
