This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research effort between California State University San Bernardino and the University of Cincinnati. The $354,304 award aims to recruit junior-level university students and sophomore-level community college students into geosciences educational and career tracks through year-long, cohort-based, authentic geologic research experiences. The research activities focus...
This $337,293 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research on the relationship between tectonic faulting and near-surface deformation on the San Andreas Fault in California. The lead researcher and team at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), a Hispanic-Serving Institution, will use geophysical techniques such as ground penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography, coupled with satellite...
This $171,824 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) was awarded to the San Jose State University (SJSU) Research Foundation to characterize the geometry and activity of faults making up the San Andreas Fault system in the San Francisco Bay Area. The two-year project, entitled "EMBRACE-EAR-SEED: Transformative Research Experiences in Earthquake Science," will integrate geological field mapping, LiDAR data, and computer modeling to...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate seismic cycle processes in the "earthquake critical zone" - the upper 1 km of fault zones where seismic waves, rocks, fluids, and the built environment intersect. The $277,792 award to Brown University, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029, will fund research on two major continental strike-slip...
This $443,481 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site focused on experimental rock deformation research. The REU Site, titled "Research Opportunities in Rock Deformation" (RORD), provides training and mentorship in experimental rock deformation techniques for undergraduate students. Over a 3-year period from January 2026 to December 2028, the program will host 10...
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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 two-year Project Grant to researchers at the University of California, Berkeley under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research into the spatiotemporal scales of transient slow slip on the San Andreas Fault near San Juan Bautista, Central California, and the implications for seismic hazard assessment in the region. Specifically, the funding will allow researchers to conduct fieldwork and analyses to better understand...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $190,022 to the CSU Fullerton Auxiliary Services Corporation, a subsidiary of the California State University system, to investigate seismic cycle processes in the "earthquake critical zone" through an interdisciplinary, collaborative research project. The primary objectives are to characterize the material properties, fault architecture, and earthquake cycle dynamics of two major...
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 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.
