- This Project Grant award of $356,814.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate the Mt. Edgecumbe (Lux Shaa) volcanic field in Southeast Alaska. The research aims to expand scientific understanding of transcrustal magmatism at transform faults, a relatively uncommon tectonic setting for volcanoes. Key activities include: Using rock samples to recreate the Mt. Edgecumbe magma and satellite observations of ground...
- This $374,308 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at Montana State University focused on understanding the pre-eruptive processes and timescales that trigger volcanic eruptions, particularly at Alaska's Okmok volcano. The research team will integrate geochemical analysis of erupted products with geophysical monitoring data to elucidate the deep magmatic processes that lead to different eruption styles, volumes, and...

The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through basic research. This particular grant will further...
- This $393,866 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research study on the deformation signals and volcano-tectonic earthquakes at Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawaii. The research aims to use satellite data (InSAR) and seismic analysis to better understand the causes of volcanic unrest and potential warning signs before major eruptions. Key objectives include developing advanced deep learning methods to analyze ground deformation data,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant award for $180,000 from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026 will support research to develop a new "Eruption Stability Diagram" classification system for volcanic eruptions. The objective is to better understand and predict the evolution of volcanic hazards, such as ash clouds and pyroclastic density currents, by accounting for the effects of varying eruption rates and micrometer-scale processes. The research...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $386,037 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the formation and eruption behavior of volcanoes in subduction zones. The project aims to investigate the origin of silicic, volatile-rich magmas in young Mexican volcanoes to determine whether they form deep within the Earth's mantle or develop in the crust above the mantle. Researchers will analyze 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 $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.
