- This $345,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is supporting research at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the rupture characteristics of large global earthquakes from 2000 to 2022. The project aims to improve the analysis of earthquake ruptures in real-time using an advanced seismic back-projection method, which will enable more accurate measurements of rupture speed, extent, and segmentation. The outcomes...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $274,605 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Washington on January 15, 2021 for research concluding on June 30, 2023. Titled "CAREER: Dynamics of surface rupturing thrust earthquakes," this award will fund basic research into the integrated Earth system through studying the dynamics of surface-rupturing thrust earthquakes. A subaward of $50,000 was also provided to President and Fellows of Harvard...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award of $122,773 to the San Diego State University Research Foundation will support collaborative research to identify earthquake-related damage preserved in fault zones and use this information to better assess potential earthquake hazards along known fault lines. The research, which will run from June 2025 to May 2028, aims to develop criteria to distinguish earthquake-related damage from long-term fault...
- This $729,600 Project Grant was awarded on July 1, 2025 by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under CFDA Program 47.050 - Geosciences. The grant will fund a research project led by the University of Oklahoma (OU) to advance methods for inferring and modeling megathrust faulting processes across timescales, from seconds to centuries, in three major subduction zones (Chile, Japan, and Alaska). The project aims to better understand megathrust systems and assess...
- This $200,194 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the 2023 earthquake sequence in southeastern Türkiye. The research aims to improve understanding of how large continental earthquakes occur and what factors control their source properties along mature active fault zones. The project will analyze seismic data collected from an extensive network of seismic stations deployed across the 2023 earthquake...
- This $248,297 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to improve understanding of how local geological structures affect earthquake ground motion amplification in the Pacific Northwest.
