This $177,497 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research by the University of South Florida to unravel the timing and episodicity of magmatic intrusions in the San Rafael Volcanic Field, a distributed volcanic field in Utah. The project aims to:

  1. Constrain the absolute and relative ages of intrusive episodes to calculate the number and rate of intrusive events.
  2. Locate and estimate the size and number of individual intrusive bodies to expand an existing 3D model.
  3. Integrate the results into a statistical age model to quantify the recurrence rates of shallow intrusions beneath the distributed volcanic field.

The research will provide fundamental data to propose a 4D model of the basaltic plumbing system and help inform monitoring and forecasting efforts for volcanic hazards in this intraplate setting. The project will also support student training and disseminate findings through publications, databases, and teaching resources. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of June 15, 2025 and ultimate completion date of May 31, 2028.
