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 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering, under the CFDA 47.079 program, provides $347,750 to Carnegie Institution for Science to study the thermal conductivity of lower mantle minerals and outer core alloys. Using combined fast pulsed laser and optical spectroscopy techniques, Carnegie Institution for Science will analyze how heat is transferred through Earth's deep interior. Insights from this research could advance...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $191,614 to the University of South Florida to conduct collaborative research on the dynamic compression of iron-sulfur alloys at conditions relevant to the Earth's core. Over the two-year project period starting September 1, 2024, the research team will perform dynamic compression experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to study the crystal structure, melting, and...
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...
This $1,046,084 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the acquisition of a Metaljet X-Ray Microdiffraction System at the Carnegie Institution of Washington to support fundamental research under extreme pressure conditions. The instrument will allow researchers to study the crystal structures and processes of materials found in the Earth's interior, facilitating the discovery of novel, technologically relevant materials such as...
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 two-year, $389,244 National Science Foundation project grant funds the development of numerical modeling to investigate thermo-chemical convection in Earth's core and implications for geomagnetic field evolution. Funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the modeling aims to better understand how Earth's magnetic field has been maintained over billions of years through fluid motion in its liquid outer core. The Carnegie Institution for Science will receive funding to support a...
This Project Grant award of $213,433, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083), will support a six-month research fellowship at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C. The goal is to enhance the lead researcher's career in data science and geoinformatics through collaboration with the Deep-Time Data Driven Discovery (4D) Initiative. The project will establish a reusable methodology for efficiently deploying data science in...
Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as Carnegie Institution for Science, was awarded a $183,579 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund experimental research into controls on clumped isotope signatures of methane in deep-sea hydrothermal vents from May 15, 2023 through April 30, 2026. Specifically, the grantee will conduct laboratory experiments to explore the isotopic...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences grant (CFDA 47.050) will provide $490,000 to the Carnegie Institution For Science to acquire an advanced X-ray detector, the EIGER2 S CdTe 9M, for the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The new detector will enhance the institution's capabilities to conduct in-situ, high-pressure and high-temperature studies of the structure and composition of Earth and planetary materials, including minerals, melts, and iron alloys. This...
