This $362,349 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). The grant supports an integrated petrochronology and geodynamic modeling approach to examine the paleo-thermal structure of the Alpine subduction interface. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Constraining the time-evolving...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $164,486 to the University of Alabama to conduct collaborative research evaluating tectonic models for the western U.S. Cordillera through the metamorphic history of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schists. The research aims to test the viability of the flat slab subduction model against alternative hypotheses, including terrane collision, by determining the age, pressure, and temperature recorded...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) was provided to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to investigate fluid migration and interactions in subduction zones. The $285,976 award, effective February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030, supports four key tasks: 1) petrological assessment of fluid-rock interactions at 25-60 km depths, 2) reconstruction of pressure-temperature-time conditions, 3) whole-rock...
This $518,605 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to quantify strain and fluid flow along subduction interfaces. Penn State University will lead efforts to characterize chemical and mechanical processes controlling the healing of subduction zones between large earthquakes. Researchers will study ancient subduction exposures in Japan and Alaska spanning depths of 8-20 km and temperatures of 150-350°C. Electron...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the mechanisms driving slow slip and tremor (SST) events in subduction zones. The $119,779 award, effective January 15, 2025 through December 31, 2027, will focus on two key objectives: Analyzing rock samples from subduction complexes to identify evidence of SST processes, such as mineral signatures, geochemistry, and deformation patterns....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $185,478.00 in funding to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to evaluate tectonic models for the western United States Cordillera region through a detailed study of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schist. The researchers will use modern analytical techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, bulk chemical analysis, and pressure-temperature modeling, to determine the age, pressure, and temperature...
The University of Miami was awarded a $287,776 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support research entitled "Collaborative Research: Probing Feedbacks Between Thermal Structure, Petrologic Transformation, and Rheologic Evolution within Dynamically Evolving Subduction Zones." The three-year award, issued on August 1, 2021 with a completion date of July 31, 2024, will fund basic research activities through the NSF's Geosciences program...
