Project Grant 2447821
- This $166,667 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Office of International Science and Engineering (CFDA 47.079) program supports a collaborative research project between U.S. and Swiss investigators to develop models for understanding the physics of crustal magma reservoirs, known as plutons. The project aims to integrate field data, laboratory experiments, and computational analysis to examine how the interaction between crystals and melt in these "mushy"...
- This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative US-Swiss research effort to study the dynamics of magma reservoirs and the integration of crystals and melt in these "plutonic" systems. The $285,652 award to Brown University will integrate field data, laboratory experiments, and computational modeling to develop a physics-based understanding of how melt and crystals interact within these...
- 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...
- 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...
- 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...
- This $157,232 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of a unified numerical model for bubble nucleation and growth in volcanic systems. Lafayette College will work with international collaborators to conduct targeted experiments and develop theoretically grounded formulations to capture homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation processes. Researchers will also create an ensemble bubble growth model to track evolving bubble...
- 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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation provides $174,000 to study the role of deformation in triggering volcanic eruptions. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this award will support research from September 2021 through August 2023 to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through basic research. This particular grant will further...
- 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, 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 $318,729 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort between scientists in the United States and Italy to develop a computer model to forecast the potential for volcanic eruptions at Campi Flegrei, one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world located near Naples, Italy. The goal is to build an advanced numerical modeling system to analyze ground deformation data and understand the complex magmatic and seismic activity at Campi Flegrei, with the aim of improving hazard assessment and preparedness for potential future eruptions. This research will train an early-career scientist and student intern, while strengthening international scientific collaboration. The project period runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
