This Project Grant award, valued at $435,055, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The project aims to quantify the abundances of volatile elements, such as hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and noble gases, in the lower crust of the Talkeetna volcanic arc in Alaska. This research will help improve modeling of volatile behavior in volcanic arc settings and enhance understanding of the lower crust's role as a volatile reservoir. The project leverages WHOI's expertise in geochemistry, isotope analysis, and marine geology, and involves collaborations with a local artist to develop educational and outreach activities for the Berkshire community. The award period runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027.
