The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $122,773 to the San Diego State University Research Foundation will support collaborative research to identify earthquake-related damage preserved in fault zones and use this information to better assess potential earthquake hazards along known fault lines. The research, which will run from June 2025 to May 2028, aims to develop criteria to distinguish earthquake-related damage from long-term fault...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Hebrew University to directly measure fault rupture dynamics and seismic wave propagation in a laboratory setting. The $399,601 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will leverage specialized laboratory equipment to conduct high-speed imaging and in-situ seismogram...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $319,877 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to investigate seismogenesis and faults in Eastern North America. The project aims to develop new machine-learning and cross-correlation methods to detect previously undetected low-magnitude earthquake events, generating a high-resolution, deep-magnitude earthquake catalog for the region. This expanded seismic data is expected to...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $377,838 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Ohio State University (OSU) on June 1, 2025. The award supports collaborative research to identify and study evidence of past earthquake ruptures preserved in the fractured and pulverized rocks surrounding known faults, in an effort to better understand the maximum earthquake magnitude a fault can host. The project combines field-based structural geology, rock mechanics...
- This $175,416 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Cornell University from August 2022 to July 2024. The university will investigate structure and seismicity within the southern region of the 1964 Great Alaska earthquake rupture zone using data from a dense array of seismic sensors deployed in Kodiak Island, Alaska. Researchers will reanalyze 2019 data from 400 instruments to identify small earthquakes and precisely locate...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $221,958 project grant to the Georgia TECH Research Corp to conduct collaborative research on the active faults and earthquake sequence in southern Turkiye. The research aims to improve the understanding of how large continental earthquakes occur and what factors control their source properties, using detailed analysis of the aftershock sequence and high-resolution structural imaging of the fault zone. The findings are expected to provide new insights into earthquake behavior and fault zone properties, which will benefit seismic hazard assessments in Turkiye, a region highly susceptible to major earthquakes. The project will also strengthen scientific collaboration between the U.S. and Turkiye and provide training opportunities for students and researchers in advanced seismic data analysis methods. The award has a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027.
