This $118,260 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the effects of lithospheric foundering on mountain building processes in the Southern Puna Plateau of Argentina. The key products and services to be delivered include: Generating new geological datasets and numerical modeling results to test hypotheses about modes of lithosphere removal and their impact on the geologic record in the...
This $185,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to leverage isotopic compositions of igneous systems to resolve the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research, led by the University of Texas at El Paso, aims to determine the distribution and geometry of subducted sediment in the continental crust by using igneous rocks as "deep-crustal probes" to...
This $375,631 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate the effects of lithospheric foundering, or the detachment and sinking of the lower crust and mantle lithosphere, on the formation of large mountain belts and high plateaus. The research focuses on the Southern Puna Plateau in northwest Argentina, where multiple potential lithosphere removal events have been hypothesized based on...
This $109,466 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), will fund collaborative research between the University of Texas at El Paso and researchers in Ecuador. The research aims to provide insights into the geologic processes and hazards along ocean-continent subduction plate boundaries through an integrated study of sedimentary basins and magmatism records across Ecuador. Researchers will employ...
This $184,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program supports a collaborative research effort to study the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research team, led by Montana State University, will conduct a continental-scale analysis of sedimentary basins and mélange belts across four transects in California, British Columbia, southeast Alaska, and central Alaska. Key objectives include determining the age,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Purdue University will provide $256,352 from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2027 to conduct a continental-scale study of Jurassic-Cretaceous basins and mélange belts along the North American Cordillera. The research aims to test competing models for the Mesozoic development of the western Cordillera and its implications for subduction polarity. Key activities will include analyzing the age, provenance,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $371,002 to Utah TECH University supports a collaborative research project to investigate the processes by which the lower crust and mantle lithosphere are removed through detachment and sinking, known as "foundering," and the impact of such processes on the geologic record. The project focuses on the Southern Puna Plateau in northwest Argentina, where multiple lithosphere removal events...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
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....
