This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $107,128 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (doing business as Stony Brook University) to conduct collaborative research on the relationships between seismic and petrological Moho discontinuities and their implications for lithospheric processes. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the seismic wave speeds above and below the seismic Moho, 2) assess the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 two-year Project Grant to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund a research project to Quantify Scale of Lower Crust and Mantle Heterogeneities Beneath the Continental United States through Bridging Seismology, Mineral Physics, Petrology, and Magnetotellurics. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system. This...
The University of Colorado received a $121,461 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant funds basic research to image volcanic transcrustal magmatic systems using teleseismic converted phases. The NSF Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through support of basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
The Regents of the University of Colorado were awarded a $464,509 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The three-year award, made on August 1, 2023 and set to be completed by July 31, 2026, will support collaborative research into the roles of lithology and water on deep continental crustal rheology using natural field settings and laboratory experiments. The research aims to further fundamental...
This $445,139 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to improve imaging of Earth's interior, particularly the mantle beneath the South Pacific. The researchers will use data from a new type of free-floating ocean instrument called MERMAID to update and enhance models of mantle wavespeeds and discontinuities. This will provide new insights into mantle...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $227,396 to Colorado State University to conduct collaborative research on analyzing global seismic data to understand and quantify the evolution of ocean wave activity and its impact on Earth systems. The project aims to advance the understanding of long-term observational records of Earth's microseism field, investigate geophysical source processes driving seismic signals generated...
This $213,696 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award will support research to gain new insights into the subsurface magma reservoirs below Hawaii. The project will use seismic data and modern imaging techniques to determine the depth, dimensions, and melt fraction of magma storage zones, and explore the relationship between magma migration and seismic activity. The research will be conducted by the University of Illinois, with a PhD student...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $385,643 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to investigate magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The 3-year research project will link field mapping, microstructural analysis, geochemistry, and geochronology to test competing models for how magmas form and are extracted from the deep roots of continental arcs. The...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $249,068 provides funding from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2025 to support collaborative research understanding the influence of tectonic setting on the depth of magmatic processes in the mid-ocean ridge system. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system, this award will...
This $249,414 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to image the magmatic system at the East Pacific Rise over decadal timescales. The primary awardee, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will conduct a 3-D multichannel seismic survey to study how the magmatic and hydrothermal plumbing systems have changed since a previous survey in 2008. This time-lapse imagery will advance understanding of...
