- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant awarded $344,136.00 to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, operating through the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), with a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028. The project aims to develop and validate a novel analytical technique to directly date deformation within shear zones by integrating crystallographic vorticity axis analyses using electron backscatter...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $244,152 to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to investigate the nature and timing of the Eastern California Shear Zone (ECSZ) in southeastern California. The 3-year project aims to constrain the timescales and styles of deformation within the inactive, paleo-ECSZ through field studies, structural analysis, and geochronology. Key activities include studying the Bear Canyon...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program award of $366,190 to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography supports collaborative research to resolve the complex tectonic deformation and seismic activity in the broken foreland region of west-central Argentina. The project aims to map fault relationships, measure sedimentary basin deposits, and employ geochronologic and thermochronologic techniques to determine the timing and magnitude of...
- The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College a three-year, $288,924 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research resolving conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The University will perform three field seasons of data collection in the San Gabriel Mountains, along with geochronology, geochemistry, and microstructural laboratory...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $468,724 project grant under its Geosciences program to Washington State University (WSU). The grant supports research to investigate how deformation of granitic rocks may alter their geochemical and isotopic signatures, which are commonly used to reconstruct the formation and evolution of the Earth's crust. The study aims to evaluate whether variably deformed granitic rocks faithfully retain the original geochemical fingerprints of their...
- This three-year, $393,948 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The grantee, the University Corporation at California State University, Northridge, will support field work and laboratory analyses in the San Gabriel Mountains to better understand the timing and driving forces behind mountain building in the western...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $185,478.00 in funding to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to evaluate tectonic models for the western United States Cordillera region through a detailed study of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schist. The researchers will use modern analytical techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, bulk chemical analysis, and pressure-temperature modeling, to determine the age, pressure, and temperature...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, awarded to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), aims to advance the understanding of subduction fault and earthquake mechanics. Through a combination of new experiments on subduction zone rocks and numerical modeling, the project will investigate how the rheology (deformation behavior) of the megathrust fault zone, and the heterogeneity within it, affect fault slip behavior. Additionally, the project will...
- 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...
