- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Pomona College $351,604 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate whether Himalayan lineaments in central Nepal are active strike-slip faults that influence crustal deformation and earthquake rupture patterns. The research focuses on the Gaurisankar, Thaple, Judi, and Pokhara lineaments in central Nepal, which transect major Himalayan faults and potentially affected rupture behavior during...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Texas at Austin $320,400 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate why earthquake foreshocks are rare in nature. The research uses meter-scale fault experiments with arrays of strain gauges and fault slip sensors to detect and measure nucleation zone expansion and couple its evolution to spatiotemporal changes in foreshocks. The project will quantify the coupling between...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Texas at Austin $425,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a probabilistic fault system model based on a cross-validated, second-order damage evolution framework for large continental fault systems. The project develops a new modeling approach to capture uncertainty in fault network behavior, treating faults not merely as fixed geometric features but as systems...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Texas at Austin $454,855 on January 1, 2027 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct integrated experimental and modeling research on subduction zone earthquake controls. The project will develop a system to distinguish whether shallow subduction faults build energy for infrequent large earthquakes and tsunamis or release stress through small events by measuring the rates of fault healing...
- The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $358,157 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under the award, UT Austin will conduct collaborative research on vertical signatures of lithospheric deformation in the western United States from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The research is expected to...
- The University of Texas at Austin received a two-year, $292,433 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant funds basic research examining the impact of upper-plate splay faults on stress state and strength of the megathrust and fluid budgets in accreting sediments. This research directly supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through support of basic...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $381,275 to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) will fund collaborative research to investigate changes in Bhutan's glacial geomorphology, hydrology, and dynamics using geophysical methods. The project brings together U.S. and Bhutanese scientists to study the Lunana glaciers region, with the goal of improving understanding of sediment transport, landscape change, glacier movements, and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Arizona $627,858 on August 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the sedimentary and igneous rock types of the Greater Himalayan Sequence and reconstruct the early tectonics of the region. The project will examine geologic and tectonic origins of the Greater Himalayan Sequence through field work measuring pseudo-stratigraphic sections and structural transects, combined with...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $167,851 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "Collaborative Research: The Role of Subducting Seamounts in Fault Stability and Slip Behavior Throughout the Seismic Cycle." The two-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will support basic research into understanding the integrated Earth system through studying the influence of underwater volcanoes on fault behavior and...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $352,839 to the University of Texas at El Paso from April 2021 through September 2023. The funding supports analysis of a high-quality aftershock data set from the 2017 Tehuantepec (M8.2) offshore Mexico earthquake. As part of basic research into integrated earth systems, the University will leverage the unique data to gain insights into seismic processes within subduction zones. Results from the...
