This $249,414 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to conduct a 3D multichannel seismic survey at the 9°50'N segment of the East Pacific Rise. The goal is to image the magmatic system and investigate how it has changed over the past decade, compared to a previous survey conducted in 2008. The research team, led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will use the latest elastic full...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to measure the deformation of the seafloor off Kīlauea Volcano in Hawaii over a 4-year period. The $335,327 award to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography will enable the deployment of a seafloor geodesy network to track horizontal displacement and vertical deformation along the Kīlauea décollement, a nearly...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $409,115 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The award will support research investigating the development of seamounts along failed oceanic spreading centers and their interaction with convergent margins. Specifically, the project aims to determine the origin of Guadalupe Island, an alkaline seamount located...
This $632,314 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project led by the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project aims to provide a better understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes driving carbon cycling in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Using a combination of ocean models, autonomous observations, and satellite data, the project will characterize...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $163,613 to the University of Rochester to conduct research on the evolution of the oceanic plate and upper mantle using deep probabilistic seismic imaging. The project aims to improve understanding of the physical and chemical processes that shape the Earth's crust beneath the seafloor through the use of machine learning algorithms to analyze existing seismic data. The research involves...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program awarded a $543,785 project grant to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography Division. The grant supports a collaborative research project with the National Environment Research Council of the United Kingdom that aims to improve understanding of magma flow from the Earth's mantle to the surface. Key components of the project include: New marine resistivity imaging using magnetotelluric data to map melt...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $220,434 Project Grant through its Geosciences program to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation. The grant will support research to investigate volcanic and tectonic processes in the California Borderlands region, an area off the coast of Southern California that has experienced significant faulting, rotation, volcanism, and a transition from subduction to strike-slip tectonics over the past 30 million years. The...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $349,455 to the University of Washington to support research on the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The project aims to enhance an existing cabled observatory's seismic monitoring network to investigate the triggers and processes of seafloor spreading and diking events, and their impacts on hydrothermal vent systems and biological communities. The expanded seismic...
