This $227,192 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation, supports research to unravel spatiotemporal deformation patterns in the Basin and Range and Walker Lane provinces. The award aims to combine geochronology methods and scaffolded peer-peer student mentoring to better understand how tectonic plates interact by moving towards each other (convergent), moving away from...
This $158,141 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by the California State University, Northridge's (CSUN) The University Corporation to investigate the relationship between tectonic faulting and near-surface deformation along the creeping segment of the San Andreas Fault in California. The project will use ground-penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography to image the shallow fault structure, coupled with...
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 $544,307 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project investigating seismic cycle processes in the earthquake critical zone of major continental strike-slip faults. The research team, led by Utah State University (USU), will bridge geoscience and engineering concepts, data, and models to deliver research products and broader impacts across six key pathways: Establishing a...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Hebrew University to directly measure fault rupture dynamics and seismic wave propagation in a laboratory setting. The $399,601 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will leverage specialized laboratory equipment to conduct high-speed imaging and in-situ seismogram...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $189,438 to The University Corporation at California State University, Northridge will support a two-phase research effort to model the earthquake dynamics of complex thrust fault systems in the Western Transverse Ranges of California. In the first phase, undergraduate student researchers will conduct a series of simulations to determine physics-based rules governing when an earthquake rupture is...
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...
