Project Grant 2444123
- 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 (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $484,930 Project Grant to Columbia University to develop a novel multi-camera system for continuous, real-time monitoring of active volcanoes. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this two-year project aims to create an integrated system that can autonomously observe volcanoes across visible, thermal, and ultraviolet wavelengths to extract critical monitoring data. The system will automatically analyze the video...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $387,558 to the University of Oregon will support a postdoctoral fellowship focused on improving the interpretation of volcanic activity data. The research aims to develop statistical methods for extracting robust patterns from volcanic records, which is critical for advancing the understanding of volcanic processes and improving hazard assessment and forecasting. The project will analyze volcanism...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant award for $180,000 from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026 will support research to develop a new "Eruption Stability Diagram" classification system for volcanic eruptions. The objective is to better understand and predict the evolution of volcanic hazards, such as ash clouds and pyroclastic density currents, by accounting for the effects of varying eruption rates and micrometer-scale processes. The research...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $680,331 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The award, effective March 1, 2026, will fund a 3-year project to deploy high-resolution seafloor compliance instruments at Axial Volcano, a large submarine volcano located off the coast of Cascadia. The instruments will monitor the magma chamber before, during, and after an expected eruption, providing data to...
- The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) received a $328,117 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities on September 1, 2021 to support the Volcanology Hub for Interdisciplinary Collaboration, Tools and Resources (VICTOR) project. The project aims to deliver data capabilities, tools and resources to strengthen collaboration and understanding of integrated Earth system processes through volcanology...
- This $158,481 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by Lehigh University to investigate the relationship between changes in glaciers, topography, and the behavior of active volcanoes in Chile over the past 50,000 years. The research aims to generate high-resolution records of volcanic activity, ice retreat, and landscape evolution, and use this data to explore how crustal loading changes driven...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to compare the geochemical and temporal links between volcanism and plutonism at a single arc magmatic system in Washington State. The $182,791 award to The Leland Stanford Junior University will fund a 3-year project to reconstruct the record of volcanic eruptions and subvolcanic intrusive activity by analyzing the geochemistry, geochronology, and petrology of igneous rocks in the...
- This $494,982 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a multidisciplinary research effort to reexamine the precursory activity leading up to the catastrophic Mount Mazama eruption in Oregon approximately 7,700 years ago. The research team, led by the University of Oregon, will track changes in the chemistry and physical properties of the magmatic system over time by analyzing ash, pumice, and lava samples from the precursor...
- Cornell University received a $348,300 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to investigate volatile evolution and decompression rates of high-intensity basaltic eruptions. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in integrated Earth system sciences, Cornell will conduct field and laboratory research over three years from July 2023 to June 2026. The university will analyze melt inclusions and reconstruct chemical...
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 composition of minerals called olivines and Cr-spinels from silicic magmas using high-precision analytical methods. The project will also provide learning opportunities for high school and undergraduate students, including the development of classroom materials on volcanic hazards and hands-on research experiences. An interactive exhibit based on this research will also be created for the annual Lamont Open House event. The award period is from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2028.
