The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded $326,896 to the University of California, Los Angeles, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This CAREER grant supports fundamental research investigating dynamic rebound basins—sedimentary basins formed by subsidence and rebound processes driven by gravitational instability in Earth's lower lithosphere. The project will evaluate competing hypotheses for the origin of Eocene-age basins in central Tibet through integrated fieldwork, structural-stratigraphic analysis, geochronology, thermochronology, and coupled geodynamic-landscape evolution-stratigraphic modeling to develop testable criteria for identifying basins formed by localized lithospheric dynamics rather than conventional tectonic mechanisms. Beyond research deliverables, the award includes an integrated educational component designed to train the next generation of field geologists across multiple educational levels and institutions. The project will develop immersive virtual reality modules to teach spatial reasoning, observational uncertainty, and scientific interpretation processes, bridging research and teaching by bringing remote research localities into classroom settings. This dual research-education focus reflects the CAREER program's emphasis on combining innovative science with workforce development in the earth sciences.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
