This $358,605 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to elucidate the links between the material properties of oceanic transform faults and their variable slip behavior, which can involve both aseismic and seismic slip. The project will analyze rock samples from two contrasting transform faults - the slow-slipping Chain Fault and the fast-slipping Gofar Fault - to determine how fault zone composition, hydrothermal...
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 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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $303,820 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Cruz to characterize the seismic radiation from finite earthquake sources and investigate its links to fault physics. The research aims to improve understanding of large earthquake scenarios in different tectonic plate boundary settings by developing physics-based computational models that can reproduce geophysical observations. Key objectives...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate seismic cycle processes in the "earthquake critical zone" - the upper 1 km of fault zones where seismic waves, rocks, fluids, and the built environment intersect. The $277,792 award to Brown University, with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029, will fund research on two major continental strike-slip...
This $555,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to extend a time series of seafloor optical fiber strainmeters that detect slow slip events off the coast of Oregon in the Cascadia subduction zone. The project will deploy two orthogonal seafloor optical fiber strainmeters for an additional two years to capture more slow slip events and clarify the relative timing of slip in the...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $174,000 to fund research examining the interplay between fault material strength, roughness and friction at various scales. The award will support work conducted between June 2021 through May 2023 in Santa Cruz, California. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise's understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Geosciences program aims to expand...
This Project Grant award of $153,335 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research effort to observe and study the frictional interfaces that control large-scale hazardous phenomena like earthquakes and ice sheet collapse. The research team, led by the University of California, Santa Cruz, will use advanced imaging and acoustic sensing techniques to directly observe the microscopic contacts and slip dynamics at these interfaces in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $225,816 will support collaborative research to investigate the evolution of elastic wave properties during the seismic cycle. The primary objectives are to explore whether variations in seismic wave properties can be identified before and/or after earthquakes, determine the underlying physical mechanisms, and assess the potential for operational forecasting of ruptures on meter-scale...
