This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $123,726.00 to Oregon State University to investigate mantle source reservoirs and Cretaceous plate motions recorded by ancient mid-Pacific oceanic rises and seamount tracks. The project will involve a 31-day seagoing expedition to dredge seamounts, ridges, and rises within and near the Hess Rise and Mid-Pacific Mountains regions. Onshore, the team will conduct 40Ar/39Ar age...
This $312,574 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a 43-day seagoing dredging expedition to sample seamounts on top of the Ontong Java Plateau. The primary objectives are to study the interactions between deep mantle plumes and the overlying large, thick Ontong Java Plateau, and to test whether the passage of this volcanic structure over the Samoan and Rarotonga plumes approximately 60-30 million years ago resulted in...
This Project Grant award of $655,938 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to conduct 3D multichannel seismic surveys at the East Pacific Rise volcanic system. The goal is to create high-resolution imagery that can be used to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems have changed over the past decade, providing insights into volcanic cycles on decadal timescales. The project will partner with industry...
This Project Grant award of $167,238 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research led by Oregon State University (OSU) to investigate the tectono-magmatic response to a transitioning plate boundary in the California Borderlands region off the coast of Southern California. The project aims to define the timing and geochemical characteristics of volcanic activity associated with the subduction of spreading centers and the transition from a subduction...
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...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $249,414 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct collaborative research on seismic reflection imaging of volcanic cycles at the East Pacific Rise. The project aims to investigate how the magmatic and hydrothermal systems beneath the seafloor spreading axis have changed over the past decade through a time-lapse 3D seismic survey, building on previous data...
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...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $249,068 provides funding from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2025 to support collaborative research understanding the influence of tectonic setting on the depth of magmatic processes in the mid-ocean ridge system. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system, this award will...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $405,037 Project Grant to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2025. The award will support collaborative research to better understand how the depth of magmatic processes in the mid-ocean ridge system varies based on tectonic setting. Researchers will analyze melt inclusions and crystals in ocean floor basalts from a...
