This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $335,953 to Purdue University to conduct collaborative research comparing the geochemical and temporal links between volcanism and plutonism in an ancient subduction zone volcano in Washington. The key products of this 3-year project include: Reconstruction of the record of volcanic eruptions and subvolcanic intrusive activity by studying the geochemistry, geochronology, and petrology of...
Purdue University was awarded a $575,072 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on May 1, 2022 to fund research titled "TESTING THE EFFECTS OF COOLING HISTORY AND RHEOLOGY ON OCEANIC PLATEAU ACCRETION AND THEIR ROLE IN TECTONIC MODIFICATION OF CONVERGENT MARGINS." The research will be conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which supports basic research in the earth sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $172,594 Project Grant to Oregon State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a 3-year collaborative undergraduate research project. The grant will fund an investigation into the tectonic and landscape evolution of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest, which was shaped by the accretion of the Siletzia oceanic plateau onto the North American plate millions of years ago. The principal...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $158,159 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa on January 15, 2024 through its Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program. The grant will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the relationship between the structure of the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone and megathrust earthquake characteristics. The project will utilize seismic data from community experiments to develop high-resolution models of the plate interface,...
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 (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant through its Office of International Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.079) to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to facilitate a coordinated global effort to understand subduction zone geohazards. This 4-year award aims to: Develop an intellectual community to compare global subduction zone observations and cooperatively instrument critical regions to enable breakthroughs in understanding earthquakes,...
The Pennsylvania State University received a $199,802 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on August 1, 2021 to determine rates and conditions of subduction initiation beneath the Semail Ophiolite. Funded through the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this award will support basic research to expand understanding of subduction zone processes at plate boundaries and the integrated Earth system. Working through July 31, 2023, Penn State researchers will analyze geological...
This three-year, $432,521 National Science Foundation project grant supports research investigating the formation of stagnant slabs and implications for subduction dynamics. Funded under the Geosciences program, which supports basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system, the award supports collaborative modeling and seismic tomography work by researchers at Princeton University. Specifically, the researchers will explore how subducted tectonic plates become trapped in...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant awarded to the Planetary Science Institute will conduct collaborative research to study the deformation behavior and rheology of subduction zone rocks. The $169,023 award, made under NSF's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program, will address two key questions: 1) how the heterogeneous rheology along subduction megathrusts affects fault slip behavior, and 2) how inelastic deformation on- and off-fault impacts strain energy...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $397,841 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The University Corporation at California State University, Northridge. The grant will fund a 2-year project to study the process of subduction termination along the central California continental margin. The project will use new offshore and onshore seismic data, along with geochemical analysis of surface volcanic rocks, to investigate the controversial "Isabella...
