The $476,591 award, which spans August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028, will fund laboratory experiments and computational models to better understand the processes that generate new ocean crust and volcanic activity. The project will...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable...
- This Project Grant award of $189,676 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the continued development of the AlphaMELTS software suite and related Python-based petrological modeling tools. The award will enhance the capabilities of these open-source tools to model the physical and chemical behavior of partially molten rocks, a critical component for studying and understanding volcanic systems. Key activities include expanding the scenarios that...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to develop a novel solution model for igneous biotite. The $144,199 award, effective December 15, 2024 through November 30, 2027, will enable the researchers to conduct high-temperature and high-pressure experiments to study the composition of biotite and other minerals, fluids, and glasses. The resulting solution model will be integrated into the...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded $480,458 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines for a project grant titled "Collaborative Research: Advancing Thermodynamic Modeling of Open Magmatic Systems - Translithosphere Magma Chamber Simulator."
