This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $399,282 to the University of South Carolina to conduct collaborative research on the thermal structure of an ancient Alpine subduction zone. The research team will integrate petrochronology (pressure-temperature-time constraints) of exhumed rocks from the Western Alps with geodynamic subduction modeling to characterize the time-evolving thermal conditions along the paleo-subduction...
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...
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 is a $180,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to support a two-year research project led by Dr. Rasheed Ajala at Columbia University and Dr. Daniel Trugman at the University of Nevada Reno. The project aims to develop multiscale Earth models that integrate crustal and mantle-scale processes to enhance exploration, discovery, and application in the East African Rift System. Key products will include a web service for creating...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program provides $395,622 to the University of Washington to investigate how water moves through the subducting slab in eclogite facies subduction zones. The research aims to construct a plate-scale map of fluid pathways, including veins and ductile deformation zones, and link these pathways to specific dehydration reactions within the subducting oceanic crust and...
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 $393,670 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of California, Davis from March 2022 through February 2025 to test the role of metastable olivine in subduction dynamics and deep earthquakes. The researchers will use state-of-the-art numerical simulations integrating experimental and observational parameters to model various subduction scenarios with and without the presence of metastable olivine. They will compare model...
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...
Brown University received a $335,370 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund research from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 to evaluate the processes that create, modify and destroy continental crust through studying the transition from normal subduction to slab window formation in southern Patagonia. Specifically, the university will collect new geochemical and...
This $550,014 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research at Arizona State University to advance understanding of the influence of subducted slabs on thermal and chemical heterogeneities in Earth's lowermost mantle. The awardee will perform high-resolution thermo-chemical modeling using supercomputing to simulate the variable behaviors and interactions of subducted tectonic plates...
