This Project Grant award of $173,129 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort led by Oregon State University to investigate mantle source reservoirs and Cretaceous plate motions recorded by ancient mid-Pacific oceanic rises and seamount tracks. The project involves a 31-day seagoing expedition to dredge seamounts, ridges, and rises within and near the Hess Rise and Mid-Pacific Mountains regions. On-shore work will include...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $123,726.00 to Oregon State University to investigate mantle source reservoirs and Cretaceous plate motions recorded by ancient mid-Pacific oceanic rises and seamount tracks. The project will involve a 31-day seagoing expedition to dredge seamounts, ridges, and rises within and near the Hess Rise and Mid-Pacific Mountains regions. Onshore, the team will conduct 40Ar/39Ar age...
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 $445,139 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to improve imaging of Earth's interior, particularly the mantle beneath the South Pacific. The researchers will use data from a new type of free-floating ocean instrument called MERMAID to update and enhance models of mantle wavespeeds and discontinuities. This will provide new insights into mantle...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $409,115 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The award will support research investigating the development of seamounts along failed oceanic spreading centers and their interaction with convergent margins. Specifically, the project aims to determine the origin of Guadalupe Island, an alkaline seamount located...
This $195,036 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research analyzing paleomagnetic data from sediment and basalt core samples extracted during the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 391. A team of researchers led by The Leland Stanford Junior University will study samples cored from the Walvis Ridge in the South Atlantic Ocean to develop a paleolatitude record for Late Cretaceous and early Cenozoic volcanoes...
This $420,527 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to reveal the depth and volume of magma stored beneath 60 underwater volcanoes along the Kermadec-Tonga Arc. The project will use a novel method to detect magma from satellite altimetry data and create open-access software. It will also train an early-career PI and a postdoctoral scientist, and share the results through a digital atlas of submarine volcanoes. The...
This $256,426 Project Grant was awarded on May 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Carolina. The grant supports a collaborative research project to investigate volcanism and tectonics in the Bight Transform region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, using deep-sea robotic vehicles to map and sample submarine volcanoes. The research team will analyze the collected rock samples to better understand the formation of oceanic crust and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $406,608.00 to the University of South Florida to conduct collaborative research on volcanism and tectonics in the Bight Transform region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The project will use deep-sea robotic vehicles to map and sample submarine volcanoes near the Bight Transform Fault, with the goal of analyzing the sampled rocks to understand how oceanic crust and seafloor volcanoes form. The...
This federal Project Grant award of $289,578 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEOPATHS:GO: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH STUDENT EXPERIENCES ABOARD SHIPS (STEMSEAS)" project. The goal of this 4-year project is to increase the number and diversity of students pursuing degrees and careers in the geosciences by providing undergraduate students, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, with...
