This $203,961 National Science Foundation Project Grant from the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to develop a new 3D velocity and structural model of sedimentary basins in the Los Angeles region. The University of Arizona will receive funding from January 15, 2023 to June 30, 2023 to conduct seismic field experiments using over 700 instruments across 10 lines. This will allow imaging of subsurface structures channeling earthquake waves into downtown Los Angeles at a higher...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $462,400 to the University of California San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, to develop advanced machine learning techniques for generating realistic, synthetic earthquake ground motion simulations. The goal is to create a faster, more generalizable physics-based model that can efficiently study large, infrequent earthquakes and assess their hazards for California and Nevada....
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $188,294 project grant to The University of New Mexico under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2024. The grant will support research to investigate structure and seismicity within the southern region of the 1964 Great Alaska earthquake rupture area using a dense node array. Specifically, the grantee will reanalyze seismic data collected in 2019 by 400...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $249,272, effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, supports the development of machine learning techniques to generate realistic, synthetic ground motion simulations for studying large earthquakes. The project, conducted by the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), aims to create a physics-based, parametric surrogate model called Operator Inference (OPINF) that can produce seismic ground...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant, awarded to the University of Wisconsin-Madison on August 1, 2024, provides $201,306 in funding over 3 years for a collaborative research project investigating seismic hazards along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone. The project aims to combine data from a traditional land-based broadband seismic deployment and a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) experiment along the Cook Inlet in Alaska to model the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $224,382 to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to develop a detailed 3D model of the Los Angeles Basin. The goal is to better understand the basin's complex tectonic history and improve seismic hazard assessment for the densely populated region. The project will analyze data from a temporary 300-node geophone array deployed across the LA Basin in 2022, combining it with...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Hebrew University to directly measure fault rupture dynamics and seismic wave propagation in a laboratory setting. The $399,601 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will leverage specialized laboratory equipment to conduct high-speed imaging and in-situ seismogram...
This $499,286 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to reconstruct the pattern, timing, and magnitude of past earthquakes and tsunamis along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone over the last 2,000 years. The researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University will employ innovative paleogeodetic methods and tsunami simulations to quantify vertical deformation and map the spatial distribution of tsunami...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $238,875.00 to the University of Utah to develop a detailed 3D model of the Los Angeles Basin. The goal is to accurately estimate earthquake ground motion and assess seismic hazard for this densely populated area.
