This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant, awarded to the University of Colorado Boulder, supports collaborative research to characterize the crust-mantle boundary known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity (Moho) using seismic and petrological measurements. The $119,807 award, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will combine surface wave tomography, receiver function analysis, and petrophysical modeling to accurately constrain the depth,...
The National Science Foundation awarded $150,455 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York for a project grant ending January 31, 2025. The award will support research to develop diffusion models for major and trace elements in orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, which are important mantle and crustal minerals. The project has three key tasks: theoretical and numerical modeling of cation diffusion across exsolution lamellae in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $175,666 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The funding will support collaborative research examining the role of the Porcupine Fault System in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. This study involves a new partnership between early career and senior academic researchers, federal and state/territory...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $225,816 will support collaborative research to investigate the evolution of elastic wave properties during the seismic cycle. The primary objectives are to explore whether variations in seismic wave properties can be identified before and/or after earthquakes, determine the underlying physical mechanisms, and assess the potential for operational forecasting of ruptures on meter-scale...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support fundamental research to expand knowledge of the Earth system, provides $111,760 to Suffolk County Community College from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2027. The funding will support a collaborative research project to integrate fluorspar dating and geophysical models to constrain the timing and mechanisms of the collapse of the Cordillera mountain range in...
The Stony Brook University Research Foundation received a three-year, $201,164 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support research integrating tectonics, surface processes and paleobiodiversity using numerical and observational approaches. The grant was awarded June 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the geosciences through basic research of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the funding will support...
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 $178,801 to Syracuse University to conduct a collaborative research project investigating mantle dynamics during the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The research aims to shed light on the evolution of oceanic crust and mantle as the Atlantic formed over the first 50 million years of seafloor spreading. The project will collect 2D and 3D seismic data along...
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...
