- This four-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences provides $145,779 to Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs to support collaborative research unraveling distributed deformation during early-stage rifting in the western and southwestern African rifts. The grant is part of NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $554,535 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Oklahoma for the project "Constraining Exhumation and Erosion along Lake Tanganyika to Assess Landscape Evolution in Rifts". The project aims to: 1) Use low-temperature thermochronology to determine the timing, rate, and magnitude of tectonic exhumation along the Lake Tanganyika rift; 2) Utilize cosmogenic nuclide analysis to measure catchment-wide...
- 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 two-year, $199,534 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the acquisition of high-resolution seismic reflection data in Lake Victoria, East Africa. Specifically, Syracuse University will tow a CHIRP seismic reflection instrument to collect approximately 2,000 km of seismic line data over the two-year period. The University will then process, analyze, interpret and integrate the new data with...
- 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 five-year, $475,451 National Science Foundation project grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support research examining how topography preserves details of the seismic cycle. The principal investigator will develop computational landscape simulations under varying tectonic and climatic conditions to identify topographic signatures of the seismic cycle. They will then assess whether these signatures are recognizable in natural landscapes with independent constraints on seismic...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at Riverside, California under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support work using distributed acoustic sensing to detect tremors and characterize earthquake hazard sites in the Cascadia region. Through June 2022 to May 2024, the grantees will evaluate earthquake risks by deploying fiber optic cables to monitor seismic activity. Insights gained from this work will further the...
