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...
This $161,641 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Funded from February 1, 2023 to January 31, 2026, the award to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will integrate an active-passive seismic survey of the Kilauea summit with a temporary nodal...
This $699,699 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to apply active and passive seismic imaging techniques to provide a high-resolution three-dimensional image of the subsurface summit structure of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii after its 2018 collapse. The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science will partner with the U.S. Geological Survey to deploy a temporary seismic array and conduct...
This $213,696 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award will support research to gain new insights into the subsurface magma reservoirs below Hawaii. The project will use seismic data and modern imaging techniques to determine the depth, dimensions, and melt fraction of magma storage zones, and explore the relationship between magma migration and seismic activity. The research will be conducted by the University of Illinois, with a PhD student...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $406,608.00 to the University of South Florida to conduct collaborative research on volcanism and tectonics in the Bight Transform region of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The project will use deep-sea robotic vehicles to map and sample submarine volcanoes near the Bight Transform Fault, with the goal of analyzing the sampled rocks to understand how oceanic crust and seafloor volcanoes form. The...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $249,414 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct collaborative research on seismic reflection imaging of volcanic cycles at the East Pacific Rise. The project aims to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the seafloor spreading axis have changed over the past decade through a time-lapse 3D seismic survey, building on previous data...
This Project Grant award for $387,558 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Oregon. The project aims to develop methods for extracting statistically robust patterns from existing volcanic records, analyzing volcanism as a temporal, spatial, and spatio-temporal process. Key goals include identifying the most active volcanoes, delineating the extent of volcanic fields, and forecasting the timing...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to characterize the large-scale submarine volcaniclastic density currents produced by the 2022 eruption of the Hunga Tonga volcano in Tonga. The $165,070 project will involve systematic sampling and mapping of the volcanic sediment deposits using remotely operated submersibles, autonomous underwater vehicles, and ship-based coring. This data will enable computational modeling...
This $312,574 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a 43-day seagoing dredging expedition to sample seamounts on top of the Ontong Java Plateau. The primary objectives are to study the interactions between deep mantle plumes and the overlying large, thick Ontong Java Plateau, and to test whether the passage of this volcanic structure over the Samoan and Rarotonga plumes approximately 60-30 million years ago resulted in...
