The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded $391,160 to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a five-year CAREER project commencing October 1, 2026 and concluding September 30, 2031. The project will deliver research outputs addressing earthquake-induced landslide effects on mountain erosion and organic carbon mobilization in the Himalayan Mountains. Key deliverables include the development of landslide inventories and predictive models to estimate long-term seismic landslide fluxes; field sampling and laboratory analyses to quantify organic carbon mobilized by earthquake-triggered landslides; and geochemical analyses determining the reactivity and fate of mobilized carbon in mountain systems. No subawards are planned for this project. The research will advance fundamental understanding of interactions between tectonic processes, surface erosion, and global carbon cycling while generating applicable insights for hazard assessment and infrastructure resilience in seismically active U.S. regions including Alaska, California, and the Pacific Northwest. UCSB will conduct all work at its Santa Barbara, California facility, leveraging the Himalayan region as a natural laboratory to address significant uncertainties regarding earthquake-landslide frequency and carbon mobilization mechanisms.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
