The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $206,021 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Utah State University (USU) to conduct collaborative research on the evolution of elastic wave properties during the seismic cycle. The project aims to illuminate the processes associated with earthquake precursors in order to improve seismic hazard forecasting. The research will use active source seismic interrogation techniques to study the mechanics of pre- and post-seismic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate seismic cycle processes in the "earthquake critical zone" - the upper 1 km of fault zones where seismic waves, rocks, fluids, and the built environment intersect. The $277,792 award to Brown University, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029, will fund research on two major continental strike-slip...
This $220,803 project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to investigate the links between earthquake swarms, aseismic processes, and fault zone heterogeneity in volcanic and geothermal areas. The research team at Texas A&M University will use seismic and geodetic data analysis, as well as computational modeling, to examine earthquake source characteristics, spatial and temporal clustering patterns, and slow...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $190,022 to the CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation, a subsidiary of the California State University system, to investigate seismic cycle processes in the "earthquake critical zone" through an interdisciplinary, collaborative research project. The primary objectives are to characterize the material properties, fault architecture, and earthquake cycle dynamics of two major...
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...
Utah State University was awarded a $449,006 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research to identify shallow slow slip events using hematite textures and (U-Th)/He thermochronometry of exhumed and experimental faults. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $225,816 will support collaborative research to investigate the evolution of elastic wave properties during the seismic cycle. The primary objectives are to explore whether variations in seismic wave properties can be identified before and/or after earthquakes, determine the underlying physical mechanisms, and assess the potential for operational forecasting of ruptures on meter-scale...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $122,773 to San Diego State University Foundation to conduct collaborative research on identifying unique signatures of past earthquake activity preserved in fault damage zones. The goal is to develop criteria for distinguishing earthquake-related damage from long-term fault evolution, in order to estimate the maximum potential earthquake magnitude (Mmax) on active faults. The research will...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $303,820 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Cruz to characterize the seismic radiation from finite earthquake sources and investigate its links to fault physics. The research aims to improve understanding of large earthquake scenarios in different tectonic plate boundary settings by developing physics-based computational models that can reproduce geophysical observations. Key objectives...
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...
