- 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 $199,998 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, for a two-year collaborative research project.
