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...
This $213,696 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award will support research to gain new insights into the subsurface magma reservoirs below Hawaii. The project will use seismic data and modern imaging techniques to determine the depth, dimensions, and melt fraction of magma storage zones, and explore the relationship between magma migration and seismic activity. The research will be conducted by the University of Illinois, with a PhD student...
This three-year, $214,451 National Science Foundation project grant in the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to better constrain large-scale mantle convection through seismic imaging beneath hotspots. Key products include using converted and reflected seismic wave data from distant seismic stations to image the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary and transition zone discontinuities beneath Hawaii, Yellowstone, and the equatorial Mid-Atlantic Ridge. These regions represent...
This $161,641 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Funded from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026, the award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will integrate an active-passive seismic survey of the Kilauea summit with a temporary nodal...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $167,774 to the University of Houston to investigate mantle dynamics in the Pacific Northwest through 3D anisotropic seismic velocity modeling. The University will use surface wave tomography to construct a high-resolution model of seismic anisotropy in the region, revealing detailed mantle processes and testing mechanisms for geophysical...
The University of Idaho will receive $344,599 under a Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "Exploring the Tempo of Exhumation and Relief Development to Investigate Mantle-to-Surface Connections Around the Yellowstone Hotspot" from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes by expanding knowledge of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, funded under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences, provides $180,000 over 2 years starting August 1, 2023 to explore the significance of spatial field data from integrated satellite remote sensing and GPS time series for machine learning and volcanic early warning applications. The project aims to integrate data from satellite radar, GPS, and high-resolution digital elevation models to generate 3D time series of surface...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $578,106 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) will advance the understanding of super-eruptions and the deposits they leave behind, known as ignimbrites. The project, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will use the Peach Spring Tuff in Arizona as a case study to investigate how large-volume pyroclastic flows move and maintain high temperatures...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $120,831 Project Grant to the University of Wyoming (UW) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the interplay of surface evolution, shallow magmatism, and a large hydrothermal system at the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcanic complex in Chile. The goal of this 5-year project is to enhance understanding of the natural hazards associated with volcanic intrusions and transitions between explosive and effusive eruption behaviors. The...
This $490,303 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project aimed at improving the understanding of lava flow properties and their impact on volcanic eruption hazard assessment. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing and deploying two new field tools to directly measure the viscosity of natural lava flows, which contain critical elements like bubbles and crystals...
