- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $347,238 to Michigan State University (MSU) to conduct collaborative research on the structure and behavior of the Alaska megathrust subduction zone. The project aims to enhance the fundamental understanding of how geological structures influence seismic activity in subduction zones, with the ultimate goal of improving earthquake hazard mitigation efforts. Key research activities...
- This $499,286 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to reconstruct the pattern, timing, and magnitude of past earthquakes and tsunamis along the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone over the last 2,000 years. The researchers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University will employ innovative paleogeodetic methods and tsunami simulations to quantify vertical deformation and map the spatial distribution of tsunami...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of New Mexico $376,555 on August 1, 2026, for a CAREER-track project grant to investigate megathrust frictional locking and stress accumulation in subduction zones. The research will develop a systematic, uniform atlas of kinematic coupling across globally distributed megathrusts and produce time-dependent models to capture how coupling and locking evolve in response to slow slip events and earthquakes. The...
