This $173,129 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate mantle source reservoirs and plate motions recorded by ancient mid-Pacific oceanic rises and seamount tracks. The project aims to better understand the timing and drivers of global plate reorganization events during the mid-Cretaceous period. Key activities include a 31-day seagoing expedition to dredge seamounts, ridges, and rises, as well...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a 43-day seagoing dredging expedition led by Oregon State University (OSU) to investigate the interactions between the Ontong Java Plateau (OJP) and the Samoan and Rarotonga hotspots. The $222,135 award, effective October 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027, will enable the research team to sample seamounts on top of the OJP to study the relationship between thick lithosphere and enriched...
This two-year, $388,669 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research analyzing sediment and basalt core samples from the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 391. The University of Houston will collaborate to study the paleolatitude record of Walvis Ridge hotspot volcanoes in the late Cretaceous and early Cenozoic eras. Researchers will produce a paleolatitude timeline for comparison...
This $195,036 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research analyzing paleomagnetic data from sediment and basalt core samples extracted during the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 391. A team of researchers led by The Leland Stanford Junior University will study samples cored from the Walvis Ridge in the South Atlantic Ocean to develop a paleolatitude record for Late Cretaceous and early Cenozoic volcanoes...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund a collaborative research project to conduct a 3-D multichannel seismic survey and time-lapse imaging of the magmatic and hydrothermal systems at the 9°50'N segment of the East Pacific Rise. The $655,938 award, with a project period from March 1, 2025 to February 29, 2028, will allow researchers from the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to...
This $445,139 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research by Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration to improve imaging of Earth's interior, particularly the mantle beneath the South Pacific. The researchers will use data from a new type of free-floating ocean instrument called MERMAID to update and enhance models of mantle wavespeeds and discontinuities. This will provide new insights into mantle...
The University of Maryland, College Park received a $403,517 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on January 1, 2022 to support research investigating mantle source reservoirs and Cretaceous plate motions recorded by ancient mid-Pacific oceanic rises and seamount tracks. The research will be conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) through December 31, 2024. This program supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) was awarded a $157,133 Project Grant under the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the interactions between the Ontong Java Plateau and the Samoan/Rarotonga mantle plumes. The project will sample seamounts on top of the Ontong Java Plateau to study how the passage of this large volcanic structure impacted the volcanism of the Samoan and Rarotonga hotspots approximately...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $409,115 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The award will support research investigating the development of seamounts along failed oceanic spreading centers and their interaction with convergent margins. Specifically, the project aims to determine the origin of Guadalupe Island, an alkaline seamount located...
This $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how the...
