This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $470,318 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from October 2021 through December 2022. The award will support collaborative research to better understand the contribution of crustal deformation to present-day tectonics at convergent margins like the southern Cascadia forearc. Researchers will utilize multiple geochronologic techniques to develop a record of exhumation and erosion in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $180,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral fellowship under the mentorship of Dr. Mark Caddick at Virginia Tech. The research, professional development, and outreach activities focus on constraining the mobility of rare earth elements (REEs) in subduction zones. The research aims to test hypotheses about the sequestration and mobilization of REEs during subduction processes, using a forward model...
This $355,607 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate an ancient example of flat-slab subduction in southern California and western Arizona. The goal is to collect data from rocks that were once located above the descending oceanic plate in order to improve simulations and understanding of similar modern tectonic settings, many of which pose significant...
This $109,466 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research between the University of Texas at El Paso and researchers in Ecuador. The research aims to provide insights into the geologic processes and hazards along ocean-continent subduction plate boundaries through an integrated study of sedimentary basins and magmatism records across Ecuador. Researchers will employ...
This $185,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to leverage isotopic compositions of igneous systems to resolve the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research, led by the University of Texas at El Paso, aims to determine the distribution and geometry of subducted sediment in the continental crust by using igneous rocks as "deep-crustal probes" to...
North Carolina State University received a two-year, $214,324 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will support collaborative research titled "Beneath the Fountains: Shallow Conduit Processes and Diversity in Basaltic Fissure Eruptions." Under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research, the university will conduct research into...
This $521,375 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to increase diversity in the geosciences by supporting high school teachers in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) to build their science programs. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Designing and implementing a series of experiences for high school science teachers to engage with local geoscience community partners and their...
This $186,797 federal project grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research to improve the characterization of ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) at the Earth's core-mantle boundary. The project aims to develop new waveform inversion techniques and apply them, along with geodynamic modeling, to better understand the properties, formation, and role of ULVZs in mantle processes...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $135,983 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of the Incarnate Word for collaborative research titled "A Geochemical Approach to Quantifying the Magnitude of Strain and Fluid Flow Along the Subduction Interface." The research aims to characterize chemical and mechanical processes controlling the healing of subduction plate interfaces between large earthquakes through observations of ancient subduction...
This Project Grant award of $320,192 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports fundamental research at the University of Washington to investigate the relationship between metamorphic dehydration reactions in subducting oceanic crust and the occurrence of deep slow slip earthquakes in subduction zones. The research aims to provide geologic evidence for the hypothesized role of fluid production from these reactions in generating the high pore fluid...
