This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
The National Science Foundation awarded a 5-year, $107,566 Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant to the University of Oregon for a collaborative research study on the natural hazards associated with volcanic intrusions. The project aims to advance the understanding of how volcanic eruptions transition from explosive to effusive behavior, and how the interactions between surface processes, hydrothermal, and magmatic processes can lead to the formation of shallow intrusions. The research...
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...

The research will focus...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award provides $310,635 to the University of Illinois to investigate the subsurface structure and magma reservoir beneath the Yellowstone volcanic province in Wyoming. The project aims to create a high-resolution 3D image of seismic wave speeds in the mid-to-upper crustal magma reservoir using advanced full waveform inversion techniques. This will help uncover new insights into the storage and distribution...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $108,892 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) to conduct collaborative research on the timing and episodicity of intrusions in a distributed volcanic field. The project aims to constrain the absolute and relative ages of intrusive episodes, locate and estimate the number and size of individual intrusive bodies, and integrate the results into a statistical age model to calculate the recurrence rates of intrusions. By examining exposed intrusions in the San Rafael Volcanic Field in Utah, the research team will provide fundamental information to propose a 4D model of a basaltic plumbing system related to the growth of a distributed volcanic field. The findings will help inform monitoring and forecasting efforts for volcanic hazards. The grant award runs from June 2025 through May 2028 and does not include any sub-awards.
