This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $180,000 provides funding for a postdoctoral fellowship under the mentorship of Dr. Mark Caddick at Virginia Tech. The research, professional development, and outreach activities focus on constraining the mobility of rare earth elements (REEs) in subduction zones. The research aims to test hypotheses about the sequestration and mobilization of REEs during subduction processes, using a forward model...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $285,878 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison will fund research to investigate how fractures in underground rock formations influence the movement of water, solutes, and colloids through the subsurface. The key objectives are to: 1) experimentally quantify flow channelization and fracture-matrix exchange using advanced imaging techniques, 2) measure and model differences between solute and...
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...
This $555,274 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research into the nanoscale physics of carbon dioxide utilization and storage in tight oil reservoirs. The Colorado School of Mines, in collaboration with Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, will investigate how CO2 interacts with oil at pore walls and gradients along walls modulate oil-CO2 transport through nanopores. Researchers will integrate bench-scale...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award totaling $427,296 aims to advance the understanding of solute dispersion in unsaturated porous media, which has critical implications for processes like nutrient and contaminant transport in the vadose zone. The research project, awarded to the Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology, will leverage pore-scale numerical simulation, microfluidics, and 3D printing technologies to study how complex...
This Project Grant award of $213,433.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports a six-month fellowship to enhance the lead researcher's career trajectory in data science and geoinformatics at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC. The primary goals are to establish a reusable methodology for efficiently deploying data science in geoscience studies to accelerate scientific discoveries, with a focus on mineralogy. The...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $261,152 will fund a collaborative research project to study reaction pathways in oceanic serpentinites through laboratory experiments from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The University of Colorado at Boulder will receive the award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct quantitative analyses of the alteration of seafloor mantle rocks through serpentinization reactions with seawater. The research aims to better understand...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $399,904 to enhance discrete fracture network modeling using evolutionary and quantum computing approaches.
