This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences grant (CFDA 47.050) will provide $490,000 to the Carnegie Institution For Science to acquire an advanced X-ray detector, the EIGER2 S CdTe 9M, for the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The new detector will enhance the institution's capabilities to conduct in-situ, high-pressure and high-temperature studies of the structure and composition of Earth and planetary materials, including minerals, melts, and iron alloys. This...
This $397,492 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to study the melting of ice sheets during the last interglacial period approximately 130,000 to 115,000 years ago. The project, led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, aims to better understand when and how much the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melted, as well as the climate conditions and ice dynamics that drove their...
This $696,515 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research and outreach on variations in the pace of surface temperature change. The awardee, University of California Santa Cruz, will conduct statistical analysis of global climate observations to identify regions and periods with accelerated warming rates over the past two centuries. Model simulations will determine the causes of detected changes and quantify future warming rates...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) is funding the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between Earth's surface and interior processes. The $123,880 award, running from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2028, will couple two widely used open-source community software packages - ASPECT and LANDLAB - to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $405,037 Project Grant to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2025. The award will support collaborative research to better understand how the depth of magmatic processes in the mid-ocean ridge system varies based on tectonic setting. Researchers will analyze melt inclusions and crystals in ocean floor basalts from a...
This $367,031 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The award is for a collaborative research project titled "Seeing and Hearing Frictional Interfaces: Using Total Internal Reflection Imaging and Acoustic Methods to Explore Contact Dynamics." The goal is to directly observe the processes controlling nucleation, slip, healing, and melting in ice to better...
This $1,300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the Carnegie Institution of Washington to acquire a state-of-the-art Metaljet X-Ray Microdiffraction System. This novel liquid-metal anode technology will allow the institution to conduct high-pressure research and analyze the crystal structures of materials found under extreme pressures, which is critical for advancing scientific understanding across Earth and planetary...
This $683,266 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reconstruct global ice volume and bottom water temperature over the past 1-3 million years. The project at Brown University will analyze multiple climate proxies, including biomarkers and stable isotopes, using machine learning algorithms to resolve global ice volume and ocean temperature signals. The key objectives are to assess the role of CO2 and ice albedo in global...
This $183,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to reconstruct ancient melt compositions across multiple cordilleran arc segments in the western United States. The goal is to evaluate petrologic proxies for determining past crustal thickness and transcrustal differentiation processes. The research team, led by Texas Tech University System, will use high-temperature minerals to 1) identify and...
