Boise State University received a $342,714 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050) effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028, to develop thermodynamically valid rare-earth element (REE) thermobarometers for determining mineral temperatures and pressures in geologic applications. The project will produce new computational models calibrated using experimental data and theoretical frameworks, with primary focus on garnet and clinopyroxene applications to ultramafic rocks, calc-silicates, and eclogites, while extending analysis to orthopyroxene and hornblende. The research will critically evaluate competing activity models for trace element mixing in minerals and generate a comprehensive database of mineral compositions via electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) for use by the broader geochemical research community. Beyond the core research deliverables, the award supports educational and outreach products including course-based undergraduate research experiences utilizing project samples and results, publicly available educational videos explaining the thermodynamic principles and modeling methodologies underlying REE thermobarometry, and community lectures delivered by the principal investigator. These complementary products integrate the research findings into undergraduate STEM education while extending scientific literacy to local community audiences.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
