- This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $107,128 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (doing business as Stony Brook University) to conduct collaborative research on the relationships between seismic and petrological Moho discontinuities and their implications for lithospheric processes. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize the seismic wave speeds above and below the seismic Moho, 2) assess the...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 two-year Project Grant to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund a research project to Quantify Scale of Lower Crust and Mantle Heterogeneities Beneath the Continental United States through Bridging Seismology, Mineral Physics, Petrology, and Magnetotellurics. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system. This...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $385,643 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to investigate magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The 3-year research project will link field mapping, microstructural analysis, geochemistry, and geochronology to test competing models for how magmas form and are extracted from the deep roots of continental arcs. The...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $330,667.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) and is intended to support research aimed at deciphering the evolution of the early Earth's crust-mantle system. The award will fund a project led by researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park that will analyze well-preserved samples of early rock records to develop a comprehensive model for the timing of formation of the continental crust and the...
- This $257,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the formation, transport, and deposition of economically important metals in the lower continental crust. The project will focus on studying variably metasomatized magmatic sulfide deposits in the Ivrea-Verbano Zone in Italy, which formed in the deep crust and were tectonically uplifted. The research aims to better...
- This $449,746 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Nevada, Reno to investigate how the continental crust responds structurally, thermally, and compositionally to the transition from subduction to collision during plate convergence. Specifically, the research team will establish a cross-section through the ancient Gangdese batholith crust in southern Tibet to study how crustal properties vary with depth. They...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award to the University of Texas at Austin provides $175,290 over 3 years starting November 1, 2024 to conduct a novel 2D/3D seismic experiment investigating the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to shed light on the anomalous geology and mantle dynamics that occurred during the first 50 million years after the breakup of the Pangea supercontinent and the formation of...
- This $265,048 federal Project Grant award by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the role of hydrated silica minerals in the Earth's deep mantle and their impact on plate tectonics processes and the global water cycle. The project will measure the sound velocities, water solubility, and phase transitions of stishovite and post-stishovite silica minerals under high pressure-temperature...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $149,832 collaborative research project grant to the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD). The 3-year project will reconstruct ancient magma compositions to evaluate petrologic proxies for changes in crustal thickness over time at four sites in the western U.S. The research team will collect data and create field research videos to showcase their findings and raise awareness about geoscience research. The project...
- This $185,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to leverage isotopic compositions of igneous systems to resolve the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research, led by the University of Texas at El Paso, aims to determine the distribution and geometry of subducted sediment in the continental crust by using igneous rocks as "deep-crustal probes" to...
