- This $166,667 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) program supports a collaborative research project between U.S. and Swiss investigators to develop models for understanding the physics of crustal magma reservoirs, known as plutons. The project aims to integrate field data, laboratory experiments, and computational analysis to examine how the interaction between crystals and melt in these "mushy"...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project at the University of Utah to investigate the effects of water and chemical composition on the melting of the Earth's mantle. The $476,591 award, which spans August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, will fund laboratory experiments and computational models to better understand the processes that generate new ocean crust and volcanic activity. The project will...
- This Project Grant award of $229,128 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research at Brown University to better understand the dynamic behavior of dense granular media in geosciences applications. The key objectives are to develop new models that capture the complex interactions between solids and fluids in particle-laden flows, such as those found in avalanches, volcanic flows, and river sediments. The research will combine laboratory...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $386,037 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the formation and eruption behavior of volcanoes in subduction zones. The project aims to investigate the origin of silicic, volatile-rich magmas in young Mexican volcanoes to determine whether they form deep within the Earth's mantle or develop in the crust above the mantle. Researchers will analyze the...
- 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...
- Brown University received a $335,370 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund research from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 to evaluate the processes that create, modify and destroy continental crust through studying the transition from normal subduction to slab window formation in southern Patagonia. Specifically, the university will collect new geochemical and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $291,557 to Brown University to conduct collaborative research on the behavior of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) in continental volcanic arc systems. The key objectives are to: Determine whether halogens are concentrated more in plutonic or volcanic rocks within the same ancient arc system exposed in the Sierra Nevada, California. Identify the primary mineral...
- This $318,729 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort between scientists in the United States and Italy to develop a computer model to forecast the potential for volcanic eruptions at Campi Flegrei, one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world located near Naples, Italy. The goal is to build an advanced numerical modeling system to analyze ground deformation data and understand the complex...
- This $315,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to take a multidisciplinary approach to better understand the geodynamical landscape of the deep mantle, the region between the Earth's liquid iron core and rocky mantle approximately 3,000 km beneath the surface. The research team at Brown University will utilize observations of global-scale Earth processes, including seismic vibrations and crustal warping, to constrain the density,...
