This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to compare the geochemical and temporal links between volcanism and plutonism at a single arc magmatic system in Washington State. The $182,791 award to The Leland Stanford Junior University will fund a 3-year project to reconstruct the record of volcanic eruptions and subvolcanic intrusive activity by analyzing the geochemistry, geochronology, and petrology of igneous rocks in the...
This National Science Foundation Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $292,742 to the University of Houston System will fund collaborative research to re-evaluate magma storage depths and the origin of chemical variability in volcanic systems in the Cascade region. The key products of this 3-year project include: Measuring the volatile contents, including CO2, in olivine-hosted melt inclusions to better constrain magma storage depths in the Cascade region and gain insights into...
This $374,308 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at Montana State University focused on understanding the pre-eruptive processes and timescales that trigger volcanic eruptions, particularly at Alaska's Okmok volcano. The research team will integrate geochemical analysis of erupted products with geophysical monitoring data to elucidate the deep magmatic processes that lead to different eruption styles, volumes, and...
This $494,982 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a multidisciplinary research effort to reexamine the precursory activity leading up to the catastrophic Mount Mazama eruption in Oregon approximately 7,700 years ago. The research team, led by the University of Oregon, will track changes in the chemistry and physical properties of the magmatic system over time by analyzing ash, pumice, and lava samples from the precursor...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $335,953 to Purdue University to conduct collaborative research comparing the geochemical and temporal links between volcanism and plutonism in an ancient subduction zone volcano in Washington. The key products of this 3-year project include: Reconstruction of the record of volcanic eruptions and subvolcanic intrusive activity by studying the geochemistry, geochronology, and petrology of...
This $490,303 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project aimed at improving the understanding of lava flow properties and their impact on volcanic eruption hazard assessment. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing and deploying two new field tools to directly measure the viscosity of natural lava flows, which contain critical elements like bubbles and crystals...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $174,000 to study the role of deformation in triggering volcanic eruptions. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this award will support research from September 2021 through August 2023 to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes.

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $312,929 to Washington State University to conduct collaborative research on the aggregation and electrification of volcanic ash particles. The research aims to enhance understanding of turbulence, ash particle dynamics, and electrification within volcanic plumes, which is critical for improving real-time monitoring and modeling of hazardous volcanic eruptions. The project will involve...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $120,831 Project Grant to the University of Wyoming (UW) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the interplay of surface evolution, shallow magmatism, and a large hydrothermal system at the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic complex in Chile. The goal of this 5-year project is to enhance understanding of the natural hazards associated with volcanic intrusions and transitions between explosive and effusive eruption behaviors. The...
