This National Science Foundation project grant of $249,976 supports research at Arizona State University from August 2022 through July 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund collaborative research between experimental mineral physics and computational geodynamics to advance understanding of deep Earth processes through three key pieces. First, dynamic compression experiments will measure the spin state and structure of dense iron-bearing silicate melts. Second,...
This $199,998 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, for a two-year collaborative research project. The project aims to investigate the crystal structure, melting, and crystallization of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) alloys under the extreme pressure and temperature conditions of the Earth's core. The research team, which includes scientists from...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $641,554 Project Grant to the Carnegie Institution of Washington to support research measuring the melting curve of iron to the pressure of Earth's inner core boundary from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The research aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through latent-heat based measurements of the melting properties of iron at extreme pressures similar to those in Earth's deep...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $347,910 to The Trustees of Princeton University to explore how water influenced the distribution of key elements like iron, magnesium, silicon, carbon, and hydrogen during the formation of Earth's core. The research will use advanced computer simulations driven by machine learning techniques to model core formation under hydrous conditions, providing new insights into Earth's early...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $389,009 was awarded to the California Institute of Technology on August 1, 2022 to fund research exploring the composition of Earth's core through July 31, 2025. The awardee will apply a multi-technique approach combining synchrotron Mössbauer spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction to detect melting of iron alloys including iron-nickel and iron-nickel-silicon at pressures equivalent to Earth's...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $239,517 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research exploring the potential role of a basal magma ocean in influencing early Earth's magnetic field processes. Over the two-year period from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025, the grantee will collect new experimental measurements on the physical properties of iron-bearing silicate melts under various...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $208,680 will support research into the role of a basal magma ocean in influencing early Earth's magnetic field processes. Awarded on August 15, 2022 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, with performance through July 31, 2025, the grant is part of NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research team will conduct dynamic and static compression experiments to measure physical properties of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $564,286 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to support research investigating two hypotheses for the generation of Earth's ancient magnetic field. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will be used to conduct first-principles quantum-mechanical simulations to predict key material properties governing electron transport in silicate liquids and test whether a silicate dynamo hosted in...
The University of Southern California will receive $470,000 from the National Science Foundation under a three-year Project Grant award to conduct research on the structure and motion of Earth's inner core from dense seismic arrays. The award, made under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support basic research from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024 to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through investigations of the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. In...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $299,887 to the University of California, Berkeley from November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2025. The project aims to develop new reduced complexity models for simulating convection and magnetic field generation in the Earth's core. This use-inspired research will enable more reliable forecasting of changes in the Earth's magnetic field, which is critical for planning space missions due to the...
