This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $616,044 to the University of California, Davis to explore the role of rapid cementation, cohesion, and pore fluid pressure evolution in the dynamics of slow slip events (SSEs) on the Earth's faults. Through a series of laboratory experiments, the research team will measure the material properties, strength, and permeability of rock and mineral samples under conditions relevant to SSEs in...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the mechanisms driving slow slip and tremor (SST) events in subduction zones. The $119,779 award, effective January 15, 2025 through December 31, 2027, will focus on two key objectives: Analyzing rock samples from subduction complexes to identify evidence of SST processes, such as mineral signatures, geochemistry, and deformation patterns....
This $555,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to extend a time series of seafloor optical fiber strainmeters that detect slow slip events off the coast of Oregon in the Cascadia subduction zone. The project will deploy two orthogonal seafloor optical fiber strainmeters for an additional two years to capture more slow slip events and clarify the relative timing of slip in the...
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 $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,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to extend a time series of seafloor optical fiber strainmeters that detect slow slip events off the coast of Oregon in the Cascadia Subduction Zone. The $227,183 award, effective August 1, 2025 through July 31, 2028, will support two graduate students and a post-doctoral scholar. The project aims to clarify the relative timing of slip between shallow and...
This two-year, $354,309 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop a new three-dimensional subsurface framework model of the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest. The awardee, the University of Texas at Austin, will analyze seismic data collected during the 2021 Cascadia Seismic Imaging Experiment to study the geometry of the plate interface along the margin, variations in plate interface properties, the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $173,614 to Louisiana State University to investigate the potential sources of slow slip and tremor (SST) events in subduction zones. The research project will: 1) analyze the mineral composition, age, and deformation of rocks that may have hosted SST events when subducted to depth, and 2) model the geophysical signatures of these rocks to correlate with observations of modern...
This $358,605 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to elucidate the links between the material properties of oceanic transform faults and their variable slip behavior, which can involve both aseismic and seismic slip. The project will analyze rock samples from two contrasting transform faults - the slow-slipping Chain Fault and the fast-slipping Gofar Fault - to determine how fault zone composition, hydrothermal...
