This $555,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to extend a time series of seafloor optical fiber strainmeters that detect slow slip events off the coast of Oregon in the Cascadia subduction zone. The project will deploy two orthogonal seafloor optical fiber strainmeters for an additional two years to capture more slow slip events and clarify the relative timing of slip in the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $298,389 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. for research titled "Collaborative Research: Deployment of Seafloor Optical Fiber Strainmeters for the Detection of Slow Slip Events" from February 15, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The funding supports the placement of seafloor optical fiber strainmeters to monitor slow slip events along subduction zones. This work aligns with the goals...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the mechanisms driving slow slip and tremor (SST) events in subduction zones. The $119,779 award, effective January 15, 2025 through December 31, 2027, will focus on two key objectives: Analyzing rock samples from subduction complexes to identify evidence of SST processes, such as mineral signatures, geochemistry, and deformation patterns....
This two-year Project Grant award of $401,300 from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences supports collaborative research on constraints of interseismic locking near the trench on the Oregon segment of the Cascadia Subduction Zone using seafloor geodesy. The research will be conducted through the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program supports basic research in the...
This Project Grant award of $298,491 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to quantify the role of pressure gradients in nearshore sediment mobility and transport using distributed fiber-optic sensing techniques. The project will apply new fiber-optic methods including distributed acoustic sensing, distributed strain sensing, and distributed temperature sensing to measure wave-driven pressure gradients and their influence on sediment...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award for $226,022, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative seismic investigation of slow slip and fault locking along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The research team from the University of Washington will deploy broadband seismic instruments on land and use distributed acoustic sensing technology with fiber optic cables in the Cook Inlet region to model the structure and seismic wave speeds within the Pacific...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences totals $137,255 to support the development of a plate-scale distributed strain sensing system as a candidate for earthquake early warning. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will use the award period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 to establish the feasibility of measuring seafloor deformation along...
The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at Riverside, California under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support work using distributed acoustic sensing to detect tremors and characterize earthquake hazard sites in the Cascadia region. Through June 2022 to May 2024, the grantees will evaluate earthquake risks by deploying fiber optic cables to monitor seismic activity. Insights gained from this work will further the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Hebrew University to directly measure fault rupture dynamics and seismic wave propagation in a laboratory setting. The $399,601 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will leverage specialized laboratory equipment to conduct high-speed imaging and in-situ seismogram...
This two-year, $354,309 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop a new three-dimensional subsurface framework model of the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest. The awardee, the University of Texas at Austin, will analyze seismic data collected during the 2021 Cascadia Seismic Imaging Experiment to study the geometry of the plate interface along the margin, variations in plate interface properties, the...
