The project will provide valuable insights into the geochemical...
- This $303,170 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research on magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The primary awardee, The University Corporation, a non-profit auxiliary organization affiliated with California State University, Northridge, will work with researchers in New Zealand to link field data, geochemistry, and geochronology to investigate whether...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 Project Grant to researchers at the California Institute of Technology to develop a high-resolution record of mantle-derived rocks. The two-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support efforts to constrain mantle stirring rates and tectonic regimes through analysis of neodymium and samarium isotope ratios in rocks. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental earth science knowledge and understanding of the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will experimentally determine the effects of water content on the electrical conductivity of the mineral bridgmanite under pressures and temperatures corresponding to Earth's lower mantle. The $299,996 award, made on August 1, 2025, will be performed by the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The research aims to improve understanding of Earth's initial formation, internal water distribution, and...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $106,431 to The University of New Mexico for collaborative research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research aims to develop high resolution passive seismic imaging beneath Valles Caldera in Albuquerque, New Mexico from August 2021 through July 2023. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system, including expansion of knowledge...
- This $185,094 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the acquisition of an energy dispersive spectrometer and carbon coater for a field emission scanning electron microscope facility at the University of California, Berkeley. The new analytical equipment will enhance the university's research capabilities in areas such as volcano petrology, igneous petrology, and mantle geochemistry by enabling rapid multi-scale geochemical mapping and analysis of...
- This Project Grant award of $655,938 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to conduct 3D multichannel seismic surveys at the East Pacific Rise volcanic system. The goal is to create high-resolution imagery that can be used to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems have changed over the past decade, providing insights into volcanic cycles on decadal timescales. The project will partner with industry...
- 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 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 temperatures, with implications for understanding processes like volcanic activity, earthquakes, and plate tectonics. This multidisciplinary project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, will train and mentor postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate students while advancing scientific knowledge about the Earth's interior.
