- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $680,331 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The award, effective March 1, 2026, will fund a 3-year project to deploy high-resolution seafloor compliance instruments at Axial Volcano, a large submarine volcano located off the coast of Cascadia. The instruments will monitor the magma chamber before, during, and after an expected eruption, providing data to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,418,325 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to develop novel, low-cost methods for measuring seafloor motion and deformation over time. The goal is to advance seafloor geodesy capabilities, which are critical for understanding and mitigating natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides that originate offshore. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences Program provides $227,183 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to extend the deployment of seafloor optical fiber strainmeters off the coast of Oregon. This two-year project aims to capture additional offshore slow slip events in the Cascadia subduction zone to better understand the timing and mechanics of slip in the shallow and deep portions of the plate interface. The results could improve...
- 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 Project Grant award of $536,993.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to measure the deformation of the seafloor off Kīlauea Volcano in Hawai'i over a 4-year period. The research will deploy a network of 4 seafloor geodesy sites to track horizontal displacement and reoccupy benchmarks to measure 20-year vertical deformation along a fault system underlying the volcano's submarine flank. The results will...

The goal is to capture additional offshore slow slip events in the Cascadia subduction zone and better understand the timing and mechanical linkage between shallow and deep slow slip zones. This two-year...
- This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate the earthquake cycle and fault dynamics at the Gofar Transform Fault, an oceanic plate boundary location. The project will use seafloor seismic data to study how factors like fault segmentation, stress conditions, and pore fluids influence seismicity. Key objectives include identifying tectonic processes governing fault behavior, determining fault zone...
- This Project Grant award of $690,855 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of novel, low-cost methods to measure seafloor motion over time. The University of Houston System, doing business as the University of Houston, is leading this collaborative research effort to address the challenge of precisely monitoring the ocean floor, where many natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides originate. The project...
- This $249,924 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a long-lived, continuously operating seafloor geodesy reference station capable of operating in deep water. The grantee, Princeton University, will investigate using acoustic signals that only need to travel from the sea surface to the seafloor, removing the prior 3,000 meter depth limitation of existing seafloor geodesy techniques. This new approach involves...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $249,414 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct collaborative research on seismic reflection imaging of volcanic cycles at the East Pacific Rise. The project aims to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the seafloor spreading axis have changed over the past decade through a time-lapse 3D seismic survey, building on previous data...
