This $371,002 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort led by Utah TECH University to investigate the processes of lithospheric foundering and its effects on orogenesis, focused on the Southern Puna Plateau in northwest Argentina. The project employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining field-based geological mapping and analysis with advanced numerical modeling, to test hypotheses about how the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $185,953 to The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) from August 2024 to July 2026. The project aims to leverage the isotopic compositions of igneous systems to resolve the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research will investigate end-member models for the geometry of subducted sediment at depth, including uniform sheet-like...
This $185,478 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to evaluate conflicting tectonic models for the formation of the western North American Cordillera. The principal investigators at Northern Illinois University will conduct detailed analyses of the metamorphic history of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schist, a critical geologic feature spanning from California to Arizona, to test predictions...
This $303,170 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research investigating magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The project, led by researchers at The University Corporation, a non-profit organization affiliated with California State University, Northridge, aims to determine the key mechanisms controlling how magmas are generated and extracted from the deep roots of a...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $368,003 Project Grant to Texas Tech University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research testing models for the Late Jurassic Nevadan orogeny. The research aims to determine the age, provenance, and structural evolution of the Galice and Mariposa basins in Oregon and California through analysis of basin sediments and tectonic structures. The grant will fund research...
This $169,286 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to fund a collaborative research project titled "A New Sanidine-Liquid Hygrometer: Experiments, Calibration and Applications." The project aims to calibrate a water-dependent geothermometer based on sanidine compositions, which can be used to determine the conditions of crystallization for important igneous...
This National Science Foundation Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $191,257 to Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas supports a collaborative, continental-scale research study on the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research aims to evaluate competing models for the tectonic processes that formed the Cordillera, coupling the analysis of mélange belts and sedimentary basins across four transects from Alaska to California. The project will...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
This $156,324 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research at Occidental College and other partner institutions to study the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research aims to leverage the isotopic compositions of igneous systems to better understand how subducted quartz-rich sediment is incorporated into the continental crust, which can impact tectonic...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research to characterize the crust-mantle boundary and address uncertainties about the relationships between seismic and petrological features at this critical interface. The $119,807 award to the University of Colorado Boulder, effective September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2027, combines seismic data analysis, petrophysical modeling, and method development to better...
