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 (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award totaling $173,614 provides funding to Louisiana State University (LSU) from January 15, 2025 to December 31, 2027 to conduct collaborative research on reconciling geophysical observations of slow slip and tremor with geologic and rheological constraints in subduction zones.
The key focus of this project is to: 1) investigate the types of rocks that potentially hosted slow slip and tremor events by...
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...
This $616,044 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to explore the role of rapid cementation, cohesion, and pore fluid pressure evolution in the dynamics of slow slip events in the Cascadia subduction zone. The research team will conduct experiments to measure the time-dependent material properties of rock and mineral samples under the temperature and pressure conditions of slow slip events. The...
This $226,022 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate slow slip and fault locking along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The research team at the University of Washington will deploy a combination of traditional broadband seismic instruments and distributed acoustic sensing technology along the Cook Inlet region to collect high-resolution data on the deep structure and seismic...
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 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $186,556 to the University of Washington for collaborative research probing feedbacks between thermal structure, petrologic transformation, and rheologic evolution within dynamically evolving subduction zones. The research products will advance understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research supported by the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program aims to...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, awarded to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), aims to advance the understanding of subduction fault and earthquake mechanics. Through a combination of new experiments on subduction zone rocks and numerical modeling, the project will investigate how the rheology (deformation behavior) of the megathrust fault zone, and the heterogeneity within it, affect fault slip behavior. Additionally, the project...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $893,070 Project Grant to Texas A&M University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The university will use physics-based numerical models in a dynamic earthquake simulator to investigate controls on slow-slip events, subduction earthquakes, and their interactions along subduction zones. Researchers will select areas along the Hikurangi Margin as case studies and reproduce observed slow-slip...
