The University of Arizona received a $654,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. This research initiative investigates the role of evolving topography on lava flow emplacement and eruption hazards by analyzing the 2021-2023 Fagradalsfjall volcanic eruptions in Iceland. The project will deliver digital elevation models (DEMs) and orthomosaic basemaps produced through structure-from-motion photogrammetry applied to high-resolution airborne survey imagery, comprehensive maps documenting lava flow-field features and facies, and time-series datasets spanning the eruption period. Additionally, the research will produce numerical modeling outputs demonstrating how landform changes influence lava flow pathways and hazard development. These deliverables will advance fundamental understanding of lava flow behavior and volcanic hazard assessment applicable to volcano systems worldwide. The project leverages detailed topographic data from one of the most densely observed volcanic events in history to establish novel methodologies for analyzing the relationship between evolving volcanic landscapes and subsequent flow emplacement. Research will be conducted at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, with products intended to inform hazard mitigation strategies and improve eruption forecasting capabilities for volcanic regions near population centers.Federal Grant Award Summary
