- The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $397,841 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The University Corporation at California State University, Northridge. The grant will fund a 2-year project to study the process of subduction termination along the central California continental margin. The project will use new offshore and onshore seismic data, along with geochemical analysis of surface volcanic rocks, to investigate the controversial "Isabella...
- This $355,607 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate an ancient example of flat-slab subduction in southern California and western Arizona. The goal is to collect data from rocks that were once located above the descending oceanic plate in order to improve simulations and understanding of similar modern tectonic settings, many of which pose significant...
- This $354,304 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant will fund a collaborative research experience for undergraduate (REU) site hosted by California State University San Bernardino and the University of Cincinnati.
