Project Grant 2503683
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $267,943 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop the first global emissions inventory for volcanic hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The project aims to: (1) create an initial inventory of global volcanic H2S emissions based on measured carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions; (2) directly measure H2S emissions from select volcanoes; (3) use these observations to construct...
- 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...
- 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 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $317,848 to the University of California, San Diego to conduct collaborative research on the transport of volatile elements like hydrogen and carbon in the Earth's upper mantle. The research team will utilize a combination of electrical impedance spectroscopy and Raman vibrational spectroscopy techniques to investigate how volatile-carrying minerals behave at high pressures and...
- This $523,946 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research linking helium isotope ratios with eruptive behavior at recent volcanoes in Hawaii, Iceland, and the Canary Islands. The awardee, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will extract helium from lava samples spanning eruptions at Kilauea volcano (2018), Fagradalsfjall volcano (2021), and Cumbre Vieja volcano (2021) to establish time series of helium isotope ratios. The researchers...
- 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 Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $405,502, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award supports a collaborative research effort to analyze marine carbonyl sulfide emissions and their contribution to the global carbon cycle. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant include: (1) direct measurements of marine carbonyl sulfide fluxes using air-sea interaction towers and shipboard...
- This $158,481 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by Lehigh University to investigate the relationship between changes in glaciers, topography, and the behavior of active volcanoes in Chile over the past 50,000 years. The research aims to generate high-resolution records of volcanic activity, ice retreat, and landscape evolution, and use this data to explore how crustal loading changes driven...
- This Project Grant award of $655,938 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to conduct 3D multichannel seismic surveys at the East Pacific Rise volcanic system. The goal is to create high-resolution imagery that can be used to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems have changed over the past decade, providing insights into volcanic cycles on decadal timescales. The project will partner with industry...
- This $374,308 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at Montana State University focused on understanding the pre-eruptive processes and timescales that trigger volcanic eruptions, particularly at Alaska's Okmok volcano. The research team will integrate geochemical analysis of erupted products with geophysical monitoring data to elucidate the deep magmatic processes that lead to different eruption styles, volumes, and...
This $615,903 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of the first global emissions inventory for volcanic hydrogen sulfide (H2S). The project aims to: (1) create an initial inventory of global volcanic H2S emissions based on measured carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions; (2) directly measure H2S emissions from select volcanoes; (3) use these observations to construct a comprehensive global H2S emissions inventory from passive volcanic degassing; (4) integrate the new volcanic H2S emissions data into the GEOS-Chem global chemical-transport model; and (5) examine the global chemical and radiative implications of volcanic H2S sources. The project will partially support two graduate students, one each at the University of New Mexico and the University of Washington. Subawards are planned for this award. The project will run from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
