- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $389,039 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program to investigate the distribution of heat-producing elements (uranium, thorium, and potassium) during partial melting of metasedimentary rocks in continental crust. The project will measure rock chemistry and radiometric ages across a transect in the Nepal Himalaya—from unmelted pelitic schists through migmatites and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of California, Santa Barbara $211,902 on January 1, 2026, for collaborative research on volatile release during continental breakup under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research examines how volatile elements—including helium, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen, and noble gases—are produced, stored, and released during continental rifting, with focus on the Tanzania craton. The project...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Arizona $627,858 on August 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the sedimentary and igneous rock types of the Greater Himalayan Sequence and reconstruct the early tectonics of the region. The project will examine geologic and tectonic origins of the Greater Himalayan Sequence through field work measuring pseudo-stratigraphic sections and structural transects, combined with...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara will research how sedimentary rocks become part of the lower continental crust under a $353,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The two-year grant running from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 will fund basic research into the integrated Earth system through studying the processes by which sedimentary materials are incorporated into the lower section of continental tectonic plates. Insights...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of California, Santa Barbara $391,160 on October 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to quantify the effects of earthquake-induced landslides on mountain erosion and organic carbon mobilization in the Himalayan Mountains. The research develops landslide inventories and models to estimate long-term seismic landslide fluxes, measures field samples to quantify organic carbon mobilized by landslides,...
- The National Science Foundation awarded the University of California Santa Cruz a $101,601 project grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from July 2023 to June 2026. The grant will fund collaborative research to determine the influence of temperature on the strength and stability of fault zone materials through deformation experiments and high-resolution microscopy. Researchers will examine how microscopic mechanisms control fault material strength at high...
- This $330,935 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to quantify how halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) and chlorine isotopes behave during metamorphic dehydration of sedimentary rocks. The research team at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) will analyze halogen concentrations and chlorine isotopes in well-characterized metapelite rock suites from around the world...
- This $169,286 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) to fund a collaborative research project titled "A New Sanidine-Liquid Hygrometer: Experiments, Calibration and Applications." The project aims to calibrate a water-dependent geothermometer based on sanidine compositions, which can be used to determine the conditions of crystallization for important igneous...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Pomona College $351,604 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate whether Himalayan lineaments in central Nepal are active strike-slip faults that influence crustal deformation and earthquake rupture patterns. The research focuses on the Gaurisankar, Thaple, Judi, and Pokhara lineaments in central Nepal, which transect major Himalayan faults and potentially affected rupture behavior during...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the Smithsonian Institution $354,472 on August 1, 2026, to conduct collaborative research on magma sources and formation through high-pressure and high-temperature laboratory experiments and mathematical modeling. The recipient will use electron microprobe and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analyses to measure the oxidation state of iron in peridotite samples and examine how oxygen fugacity varies between...
