- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $1,418,325 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to develop novel, low-cost methods for measuring seafloor motion and deformation over time. The goal is to advance seafloor geodesy capabilities, which are critical for understanding and mitigating natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides that originate offshore. The...
- This $249,924 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a long-lived, continuously operating seafloor geodesy reference station capable of operating in deep water. The grantee, Princeton University, will investigate using acoustic signals that only need to travel from the sea surface to the seafloor, removing the prior 3,000 meter depth limitation of existing seafloor geodesy techniques. This new approach involves...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $227,396 to Colorado State University to conduct collaborative research on analyzing global seismic data to understand and quantify the evolution of ocean wave activity and its impact on Earth systems. The project aims to advance the understanding of long-term observational records of Earth's microseism field, investigate geophysical source processes driving seismic signals generated...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences Program provides $227,183 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to extend the deployment of seafloor optical fiber strainmeters off the coast of Oregon. This two-year project aims to capture additional offshore slow slip events in the Cascadia subduction zone to better understand the timing and mechanics of slip in the shallow and deep portions of the plate interface. The results could improve...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $6.5 million Project Grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to design and construct a new generation of ocean-bottom seismographs for the U.S. academic community from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research support. Under this award, Woods Hole will deliver new ocean-bottom seismographs...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences totals $137,255 to support the development of a plate-scale distributed strain sensing system as a candidate for earthquake early warning. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will use the award period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 to establish the feasibility of measuring seafloor deformation along...
- 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 $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to investigate the earthquake cycle and fault dynamics at the Gofar Transform Fault, an oceanic plate boundary location. The project will use seafloor seismic data to study how factors like fault segmentation, stress conditions, and pore fluids influence seismicity. Key objectives include identifying tectonic processes governing fault behavior, determining fault zone...
- 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...
