The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $182,791 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for a research project titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: COMPARING THE GEOCHEMICAL AND TEMPORAL LINKS BETWEEN VOLCANISM AND PLUTONISM AT THE SCALE OF A SINGLE ARC MAGMATIC SYSTEM". The project aims to study an ancient subduction zone volcano in Washington to reconstruct the record of volcanic eruptions and subvolcanic intrusive activity. Key activities include analyzing the geochemistry, geochronology, and petrology of the igneous rocks to determine the timing and depth of magma formation and how the magma composition changed over time. The research team will also produce educational videos about the project's motivation, importance, and results, and collaborate with the Indiana School of the Deaf to develop new high school science lab exercises. The project period is from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.
