Purdue University received a $426,153 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (Geosciences program, CFDA 47.050) awarded July 1, 2026, with a completion date of June 30, 2031. The research delivers a comprehensive geologic and geochronologic characterization of the Eocene Monument Peak and Lost Peak plutons in Washington's Pasayten Wilderness to better understand upper-crustal magma emplacement mechanisms. Primary deliverables include detailed geologic mapping of both plutons and surrounding host rocks, uranium-lead zircon geochronology analyses to determine the spatial and temporal extent of fossil magma reservoirs, and geochemical assessments of magma differentiation. The project integrates intrusive geologic data with measured sections and geochemical analysis of associated volcanic rocks to develop a holistic record of volcanic system behavior. This research addresses volcanic hazard forecasting by establishing direct field observations of an exhumed magmatic system to constrain assumptions about subsurface magma accumulation patterns and associated surface deformation. Secondary products include workforce development through graduate student training in field safety protocols for remote geologic research.
