- This $203,697 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study how the formation of mountain ranges in western Anatolia, Turkey may have impacted faunal migration patterns millions of years ago. The research team, led by the University of Tennessee, will combine datasets on Earth's crust, surface processes, and basin evolution to document how mountain-building may have created barriers to the...
- 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 three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,056,000 supports research into the assembly and demise of an Eocene mammal fauna on the former island of Balkanatolia in modern-day Turkey. Under the award, the University of Kansas Center for Research will study newly discovered 44-million-year-old vertebrate fossil deposits to investigate factors influencing island assemblages across geological timescales in the region. The awardee will reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of...
- This $449,746 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Nevada, Reno to investigate how the continental crust responds structurally, thermally, and compositionally to the transition from subduction to collision during plate convergence. Specifically, the research team will establish a cross-section through the ancient Gangdese batholith crust in southern Tibet to study how crustal properties vary with depth. They...
- This Project Grant award of $291,976 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a postdoctoral fellowship at Idaho State University (ISU) to investigate the geologic history of the Andes mountains in South America. The research aims to test competing tectonic models for the Mesozoic evolution of the South American continental margin, with a focus on evaluating whether an intra-oceanic island arc accreted to the continent around 100 million years ago....
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $385,643 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to investigate magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The 3-year research project will link field mapping, microstructural analysis, geochemistry, and geochronology to test competing models for how magmas form and are extracted from the deep roots of continental arcs. The...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $294,898 project grant to Indiana University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: HOW AND WHEN DID THE MONGOLIAN ALTAI (DE-)FORM? IMPLICATIONS FOR INTRACONTINENTAL DEFORMATION" from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth...
- This Project Grant award of $335,489 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on depth-dependent decarbonation processes in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. The research aims to improve understanding of how the interaction between hot magma and the Earth's crust drives metamorphic changes, mineral transformations, and the release of elements like carbon. The project will provide valuable insights into the geochemical...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $359,704 project grant to The University of Akron under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The research aims to study the roles of lithology and water on deep continental crustal rheology using natural field settings and laboratory experiments. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through atmospheric,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $528,348 to the University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ) will support research to evaluate the continental crust as a reservoir for Earth's nitrogen and constrain the nitrogen abundance of primitive arc magmas. The key products and services to be delivered include: Collecting rock samples from the Sierra Nevada and Transverse Ranges in California, as well as the lower crust in Chino Valley, Arizona, to...
