- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $650,000 over a 3-year period to the University of Southern California to develop an AI model that can better understand fault dynamics and earthquake hazards in heavily faulted geologic basins. The project builds a multiphysics fault network model to discover reduced-order governing equations for the evolution of stress in complex fault systems, using the Southern Permian Basin in the...
- This Project Grant award of $229,128 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research at Brown University to better understand the dynamic behavior of dense granular media in geosciences applications. The key objectives are to develop new models that capture the complex interactions between solids and fluids in particle-laden flows, such as those found in avalanches, volcanic flows, and river sediments. The research will combine laboratory...
- This $399,162 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop interpretable, stable, and mass-conserving artificial intelligence (AI) models to improve the computational speed and efficiency of geoscientific models, such as those used for air pollution and climate research. The project will create simpler "surrogate" machine learning models for key components like atmospheric chemistry and wildfire plume rise, allowing for...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $347,910 Project Grant to Princeton University to investigate how water influenced the formation of the Earth's core in the early stages of the planet's history. The project will use advanced computer simulations and machine learning techniques to model the interactions between metallic fluids and silicate melts under hydrous conditions, providing new insights into how water affected the distribution of key...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) is funding the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between Earth's surface and interior processes. The $123,880 award, running from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2028, will couple two widely used open-source community software packages - ASPECT and LANDLAB - to...
This Project Grant award, valued at $500,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The award, with a performance period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, will fund research to leverage advanced computer simulations, including artificial intelligence tools, to better understand the complex behavior of serpentine minerals and their role in Earth's natural water cycle, geological processes, and potential energy sources. Key focus areas include investigating how serpentines facilitate water movement through the Earth's interior, their influence on tectonic plate boundary processes and earthquake activity, and their interactions with minerals and fluids deep within the planet. The research aims to develop new computational methods to explore these phenomena, which are critical for advancing scientific knowledge about Earth's geological and hydro-geochemical systems.
