Undergraduate students will conduct this reanalysis, gaining valuable research experience. The new flow laws...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $117,832 awarded on July 1, 2022 will support research into the geological processes that have shaped the continental lithosphere beneath New England through time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the investigators from Williams College and research institutions will conduct seismic imaging of the crust and upper mantle using data from deployments of seismometers in New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine....
- This $257,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the formation, transport, and deposition of economically important metals in the lower continental crust. The project will focus on studying variably metasomatized magmatic sulfide deposits in the Ivrea-Verbano Zone in Italy, which formed in the deep crust and were tectonically uplifted. The research aims to better...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate the provenance of rare earth element-bearing monazite minerals in the Southeastern U.S. Atlantic Coastal Plain. The $147,775 award, made to Syracuse University, aims to explore potential bedrock and sedimentary sources of monazite and develop improved methods for locating these critical mineral deposits. The research will employ mass...
- This $350,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program will enable researchers at The Washington University to investigate the biogeochemical processes affecting critical mineral resources in mine tailings and weathered ore zones in the United States. The primary research focus is characterizing rare earth elements in iron oxide-apatite and carbonatite ore waste materials, as well as platinum group elements in weathered ore zones, using...
