This $546,436 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Washington State University to study the Paleoarchean geologic record preserved in the Zimbabwe and Sao Francisco cratons. The principal investigator and students will integrate isotope geochemistry and geochronology techniques to determine the timescale of crust formation events in these regions from 3.65 to 2.7 billion years ago. They will obtain helium,...
This $107,298 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Rochester to investigate the evolution of magnetic fields on Earth and other planets. Over five years, the award will support graduate student and local high school/undergraduate student-led research using computer modeling and shock experiments to study early planetary core formation and the potential influence of meteorite impacts on generating magnetic...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $180,000 to Harvard University from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The funding will support research analyzing zircon samples from the Wyoming Province and Singhbhum Craton dating back 4.01 billion years or more to better understand early Earth processes, including evidence for plate tectonics, the distribution of surface water, and rock types. Specifically, the grantee will conduct...
This $128,930 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the Advancing Geochronology Science, Spaces, and Systems (AGES3) initiative led by the Geological Society of America. AGES3 aims to increase access to geochronology data and expertise to further understanding of integrated Earth systems. It implements a platform to attract underrepresented groups to the geosciences and tests grassroots ideas at the frontier of inclusive, collaborative...
This three-year, $489,305 National Science Foundation Project Grant will support the American Geosciences Institute in conducting research on how geoscience programs have adapted to natural disruptive events. Funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the project aims to examine how such programs have managed impacts, identify operational and pedagogical outcomes that evolved from impacted departments, and determine how the geoscience community has leveraged lessons beyond directly...
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 $132,588 Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award from the National Science Foundation supports the development of new computational methods to simulate the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The project couples two widely used community software packages - ASPECT (for modeling mantle dynamics and long-term tectonic processes) and LANDLAB (for surface processes modeling) - to enable integrated studies of coupled surface-interior geologic...
This five-year, $528,702 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the Advancing Geochronology Science, Spaces, and Systems Initiative. The awardee, the University of Colorado Boulder, will deliver three strategic micro-award programs totaling over 150 awards to engage hundreds of Earth scientists in collaborative science, training, review, and governance activities. The mature AGES-GRAD program supports high-impact collaborative projects...
This $400,442 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds the acquisition of three new instruments for the scanning electron microscope lab at the Arizona LaserChron Center. The instruments - an energy dispersive spectroscopy detector, an electron backscatter diffraction detector, and a Raman spectroscopic system - will replace outdated systems and provide enhanced chemical and structural analysis capabilities. Approximately 350 faculty...
