- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded $371,082 to University Enterprises Corporation at California State University, San Bernardino on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the structural and thermal architecture of the North American Cordillera in southeastern California. The project integrates field observations, laboratory analyses, and structural and thermal modeling to reconstruct the tectonic and thermal history of...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $305,251 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research examining metamorphic rocks from ancient subduction zones in the Baja California peninsula from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to quantify the pressure-temperature-time histories of amphibolite, blueschist, and eclogite rocks using advanced thermobarometry and petrochronology techniques to better understand the...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Southern California $281,089 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to document system-level behavior of the Pacific-North America plate boundary fault network in Southern California through detailed incremental fault slip rate records for the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and Elsinore Faults, which collectively accommodate 75–80 percent of total North America-Pacific relative plate motion....
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded Northern Arizona University $450,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to map bending faults at subduction zones globally and understand variability in their spacing and magnitude. The project will identify and characterize bending faults—faults formed as oceanic plates bend during subduction—using automatic fault-mapping tools applied to multibeam bathymetry data at all locations globally with...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $164,486 to the University of Alabama to conduct collaborative research evaluating tectonic models for the western U.S. Cordillera through the metamorphic history of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schists. The research aims to test the viability of the flat slab subduction model against alternative hypotheses, including terrane collision, by determining the age, pressure, and temperature recorded...
- This $130,499 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a new collaborative Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site hosted by California State University San Bernardino and the University of Cincinnati. The REU site aims to recruit junior-level university students and sophomore-level community college students into geoscience education and career tracks through a year-long, cohort-based program that provides authentic...
- This three-year, $393,948 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to resolve conflicting tectonic models for the Laramide orogeny and flat-slab subduction in southern California. The grantee, the University Corporation at California State University, Northridge, will support field work and laboratory analyses in the San Gabriel Mountains to better understand the timing and driving forces behind mountain building in the western...
- This $184,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program supports a collaborative research effort to study the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research team, led by Montana State University, will conduct a continental-scale analysis of sedimentary basins and mélange belts across four transects in California, British Columbia, southeast Alaska, and central Alaska. Key objectives include determining the age,...
- 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.
