Project Grant 2503685
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $282,980 project grant to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, supports collaborative research to diagnose global climatic responses to large volcanic eruptions. The key research effort involves providing proxy-based global estimates of spatiotemporal changes in temperature...
- 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 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 $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...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $302,617 project grant to Stanford University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant supports research towards developing a process-based understanding of different eruptive regimes at persistently degassing volcanoes. This work will advance the goals of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
- 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 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 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...
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 a comprehensive global H2S emissions inventory; (4) incorporate the new volcanic H2S emissions inventory into the GEOS-Chem global chemical-transport model; and (5) examine the global chemical and radiative implications of the volcanic source of H2S. This work will partially support two graduate students at the University of New Mexico and the University of Washington. The award period is from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2028.
