This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund a collaborative research project to conduct a 3-D multichannel seismic survey and time-lapse imaging of the magmatic and hydrothermal systems at the 9°50'N segment of the East Pacific Rise. The $655,938 award, with a project period from March 1, 2025 to February 29, 2028, will allow researchers from the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to...
This $321,770 federal project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program on February 1, 2024 supports collaborative research by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to investigate links between deep and shallow volatile cycles of the Earth. The research aims to improve understanding of processes driving plate tectonics, the Earth's water and carbon cycles, and climate through analysis of seismic data and geochemical data from mid-ocean ridge rock...
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 $173,129 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate mantle source reservoirs and plate motions recorded by ancient mid-Pacific oceanic rises and seamount tracks. The project aims to better understand the timing and drivers of global plate reorganization events during the mid-Cretaceous period. Key activities include a 31-day seagoing expedition to dredge seamounts, ridges, and rises, as well...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $145,872 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Florida (USF) to investigate volcanism and tectonics in the Bight Transform region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The project will utilize deep-sea robotic vehicles to map and sample submarine volcanoes near the Bight Transform Fault, with the goal of understanding the formation of oceanic crust and seafloor volcanoes. The research will analyze the collected...
This $161,641 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Funded from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026, the award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will integrate an active-passive seismic survey of the Kilauea summit with a temporary nodal...
This $699,699 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii after its 2018 collapse. The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will partner with the U.S. Geological Survey to deploy a temporary seismic array and conduct...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enhance understanding of seafloor spreading and volcanic activity at the Endeavour Segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The $349,455 award, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2029, will deploy additional seafloor seismometers to supplement an existing cabled observatory network. This expanded seismic monitoring will enable detailed analysis of earthquakes associated with impending seafloor...
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 awarded a $6.5 million Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to design and construct a new generation of ocean-bottom seismographs for the U.S. academic community from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research support. Under this award, Woods Hole will deliver new ocean-bottom seismographs...
