This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $175,879 provides funding for a collaborative research project to characterize the spatial and temporal variations of volcanic rift zones on basaltic shield volcanoes, with a focus on Kilauea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii. The project aims to obtain detailed subsurface imaging of the rift zones and their characteristics, which are essential for enhancing volcanic hazard mitigation capabilities. The...
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...
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 $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...
This Project Grant award of $261,540 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to measure the rheology (flow properties) of three-phase basaltic lava from Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii. The project will use a new high-temperature rotational rheometer technique to characterize the viscosity of lava containing crystals and bubbles under eruption conditions. The goal is to improve modeling of volcanic processes and lava flow hazards, which will...
Rice University was awarded a $333,279 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on January 1, 2022 to support research titled "Opening and Reestablishment of Kilauea's Lower East Rift Zone Magma Plumbing System During the 2018 Eruption." The two-year project will investigate the magma plumbing system dynamics of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano during its 2018 eruption through the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050). The Geosciences program seeks to expand...
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...
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...

Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this award will support research from September 2021 through August 2023 to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through basic research. This particular grant will further...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $405,563 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program to the University of Miami to conduct a three-year seismic investigation of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii. The project aims to deploy 54 seismometers on and around the volcano to record local and distant earthquakes, analyze the data to map the subsurface structure and identify magma chambers and potential pathways for magma ascent. This...
