This $158,481 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research study on the interaction between changes in the climate system and the behavior of magma reservoirs within Earth's interior. The project, led by Lehigh University, aims to investigate how the rapid retreat of glaciers and topographic changes in the Andes Mountains of Chile over the last 50,000 years have influenced the composition and eruption...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant through its Office of International Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.079) to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to facilitate a coordinated global effort to understand subduction zone geohazards. This 4-year award aims to: Develop an intellectual community to compare global subduction zone observations and cooperatively instrument critical regions to enable breakthroughs in understanding earthquakes,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $120,831 Project Grant to the University of Wyoming (UW) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the interplay of surface evolution, shallow magmatism, and a large hydrothermal system at the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic complex in Chile. The goal of this 5-year project is to enhance understanding of the natural hazards associated with volcanic intrusions and transitions between explosive and effusive eruption behaviors. The...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $470,318 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from October 2021 through December 2022. The award will support collaborative research to better understand the contribution of crustal deformation to present-day tectonics at convergent margins like the southern Cascadia forearc. Researchers will utilize multiple geochronologic techniques to develop a record of exhumation and erosion...

This $171,096 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the planning and design of an integrated instrument array to observe subduction zone geohazards in Chile. The award to the Carnegie Institution for Science will fund a series of modeling studies and technical planning to design overlapping arrays of seismic, geodetic, sediment transport, and volcano monitoring instrumentation. The goal is to develop an overarching framework for integrated studies to better understand the linkages between earthquake, volcanic, tsunami, and landslide hazards in this subduction zone region. The project will involve a 3-day workshop and community webinars to synthesize findings and share new models and data catalogs openly. This work supports the broader SZ4D initiative to advance scientific understanding and preparedness for subduction-related geohazards that impact communities in the U.S. and globally.
