This $174,000 two-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to advance understanding of episodic tremor and slip in subduction zones. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen knowledge of the integrated Earth system, this award will fund research into the role of metasomatic alteration in subduction zone seismic phenomena from September 2021 through August 2023. The grantee, located in Seattle,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Washington (UW) for $119,779 to conduct collaborative research on reconciling geophysical observations of slow slip and tremor with geologic and rheological constraints in subduction zones. This research project aims to investigate the types of rocks that potentially hosted slow slip and tremor (SST) events and compare the rock record to geophysical imaging of modern...
This $127,663 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding collaborative research at William Marsh Rice University to explore the role of rapid cementation, cohesion, and pore fluid pressure evolution in the dynamics of slow slip events. The research aims to better understand the physical mechanisms responsible for slow slip events, which are significant geophysical discoveries that can impact seismic hazards, but remain...
This $616,044 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to explore the role of rapid cementation, cohesion, and pore fluid pressure evolution in the dynamics of slow slip events along the Cascadia subduction zone. The University of Oregon, as the prime awardee, will conduct a series of laboratory experiments to measure the time-dependent strengthening and permeability of fault materials under conditions relevant to slow slip...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $272,664 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct collaborative research on subduction megathrust rheology. The research aims to quantify how the deformation behavior and spatial heterogeneity of subduction zone rocks affect fault slip behavior, including the occurrence of slow earthquakes and slip events. The project will involve new laboratory experiments on subduction zone...
This Project Grant award of $320,192 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research at the University of Washington to investigate the relationship between metamorphic dehydration reactions in subducting oceanic crust and the occurrence of deep slow slip earthquakes in subduction zones. The research aims to provide geologic evidence for the hypothesized role of fluid production from these reactions in generating the high pore fluid...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $139,678 supports research into the influence of fault geometry on shallow frictional sliding in subduction zones under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The awardee, Planetary Science Institute, will conduct complementary theoretical and numerical analyses to determine how fault zone geometry controls the sliding stability of thrust faults and how shallow slip events nucleate and propagate within a subduction zone fault network over...
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 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research examining the interplay between fault material strength, roughness and friction at various scales. The award will support work conducted between June 2021 through May 2023 in Santa Cruz, California. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise's understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Geosciences program aims to expand...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant awarded to the Planetary Science Institute will conduct collaborative research to study the deformation behavior and rheology of subduction zone rocks. The $169,023 award, made under NSF's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program, will address two key questions: 1) how the heterogeneous rheology along subduction megathrusts affects fault slip behavior, and 2) how inelastic deformation on- and off-fault impacts strain energy...
