This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $227,396 to Colorado State University to conduct collaborative research on analyzing global seismic data to understand and quantify the evolution of ocean wave activity and its impact on Earth systems. The project aims to advance the understanding of long-term observational records of Earth's microseism field, investigate geophysical source processes driving seismic signals...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award totaling $173,614 provides funding to Louisiana State University (LSU) from January 15, 2025 to December 31, 2027 to conduct collaborative research on reconciling geophysical observations of slow slip and tremor with geologic and rheological constraints in subduction zones.
The key focus of this project is to: 1) investigate the types of rocks that potentially hosted slow slip and tremor events by...
This $228,331 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to understand the evolution of continental lithosphere beneath New England through geologic time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team will employ seismic imaging techniques and analyze geologic structures exposed at the surface to illuminate plate tectonic processes that have shaped the region. Specifically, the investigators from the University of Vermont and partner...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $163,613 to the University of Rochester to conduct research on the evolution of the oceanic plate and upper mantle using deep probabilistic seismic imaging. The project aims to improve understanding of the physical and chemical processes that shape the Earth's crust beneath the seafloor through the use of machine learning algorithms to analyze existing seismic data. The research...
This $249,924 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a long-lived, continuously operating seafloor geodesy reference station capable of operating in deep water. The grantee, Princeton University, will investigate using acoustic signals that only need to travel from the sea surface to the seafloor, removing the prior 3,000 meter depth limitation of existing seafloor geodesy techniques. This new approach involves...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $145,872 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Florida (USF) to investigate volcanism and tectonics in the Bight Transform region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The project will utilize deep-sea robotic vehicles to map and sample submarine volcanoes near the Bight Transform Fault, with the goal of understanding the formation of oceanic crust and seafloor volcanoes. The research will analyze the...
This three-year, $641,214 National Science Foundation Project Grant will fund research at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to better understand the strength of the oceanic lower crust through experimental and microstructural analysis. Specifically, the awardee will perform high-temperature, high-pressure deformation experiments on plagioclase and clinopyroxene mineral aggregates using a triaxial apparatus. The deformed samples will then be analyzed via electron backscatter diffraction to...
This $249,414 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to conduct seismic reflection imaging of volcanic cycles at the East Pacific Rise. The primary awardee, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will repeat a 3D multichannel seismic survey conducted in 2008 to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the seafloor have changed over the past decade. The time-lapse...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award for $349,455 will support research to improve understanding of seafloor spreading and volcanic activity at the Endeavour segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The project will deploy additional seafloor seismometers to enhance an existing cabled observatory network, allowing for better monitoring and analysis of precursory earthquakes associated with impending seafloor "diking" events where new...
