- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $280,726 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to measure seafloor deformation off the coast of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii over a 4-year period. The project will deploy a network of 4 seafloor geodesy sites to track horizontal displacement and vertical uplift along the Kilauea detachment fault, which has experienced seismic events, volcanic eruptions, and aseismic creep. The research aims...
- 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...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
- This $374,308 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at Montana State University focused on understanding the pre-eruptive processes and timescales that trigger volcanic eruptions, particularly at Alaska's Okmok volcano. The research team will integrate geochemical analysis of erupted products with geophysical monitoring data to elucidate the deep magmatic processes that lead to different eruption styles, volumes, and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $270,911 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Colorado State University to design an algorithm for unsupervised deep clustering of seismic time series data at volcanoes. The project aims to develop a multimodal variational autoencoder approach to process continuous seismic data at Erebus Volcano in Antarctica, with the objective of blindly resolving different types of seismic events, including icequakes, lava lake eruptions, and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $484,930 Project Grant to Columbia University to develop a novel multi-camera system for continuous, real-time monitoring of active volcanoes. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), this two-year project aims to create an integrated system that can autonomously observe volcanoes across visible, thermal, and ultraviolet wavelengths to extract critical monitoring data. The system will automatically analyze the video...
This $393,866 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research study on the deformation signals and volcano-tectonic earthquakes at Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawaii. The research aims to use satellite data (InSAR) and seismic analysis to better understand the causes of volcanic unrest and potential warning signs before major eruptions. Key objectives include developing advanced deep learning methods to analyze ground deformation data, linking deformation signals to magma movement, and studying the interactions between shallow magma reservoirs and fault systems. The project will also provide mentorship opportunities for young scientists and create educational materials on volcano monitoring. This 2-year research initiative, with a planned completion date of July 31, 2027, will be carried out by researchers at The Pennsylvania State University.
