- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Texas at Austin $612,882 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate whether Himalayan lineaments are active strike-slip faults that influence crustal deformation and earthquake rupture patterns in Nepal. The project combines remote sensing, field mapping, structural geology, petrology, and geochronology to evaluate the origin, geometry, and activity of four lineaments—the...
- Pomona College received a $104,344 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on August 1, 2021 to complete work by July 31, 2024. The award supports collaborative research titled "Contribution of Mafic Magmatism to Upper Crustal Batholiths: A Case Study of the Sierra Nevada Batholith" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth...
- 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 Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of California, Santa Barbara $391,160 on October 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to quantify the effects of earthquake-induced landslides on mountain erosion and organic carbon mobilization in the Himalayan Mountains. The research develops landslide inventories and models to estimate long-term seismic landslide fluxes, measures field samples to quantify organic carbon mobilized by landslides,...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Pomona College a $114,019 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on halogen behavior in the pluton-to-volcanic arc system from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research will measure halogen concentrations in intrusive plutonic rocks and extrusive volcanic rocks from the same ancient arc system now exposed in the Sierra Nevada, California. This will help...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of California, Santa Barbara $389,233 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the behavior of heat-producing elements during partial melting of metasedimentary rocks in continental crust. The research quantifies the transport of uranium, thorium, and potassium during partial melting of pelitic sediments, using exposures in the Nepal Himalaya as a natural laboratory....
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Massachusetts Institute of Technology $220,796 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct laboratory experiments simulating deformation in subduction zones and connecting material failure to seismic signals. The recipient will conduct experimental work that mixes brittle and ductile materials to model subduction-zone deformation, recording acoustic emissions when material breaks during controlled...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $326,896 on July 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research into dynamic rebound basins as surface expressions of lower-lithosphere processes. The research will test and refine a structural-stratigraphic model for dynamic rebound basins by evaluating competing hypotheses for the origin of Eocene basins in central Tibet, including localized dynamic subsidence and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of California Santa Cruz $357,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate fault slip associated with the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. The work analyzes fault-zone samples recovered from hundreds of meters below the seafloor at three core sites on the plate boundary fault. The sites are 30 meters apart but show fault-zone thickness varying from 1 to 15 meters. Using trace...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Southern California $281,089 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to document system-level behavior of the Pacific-North America plate boundary fault network in Southern California through detailed incremental fault slip rate records for the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and Elsinore Faults, which collectively accommodate 75–80 percent of total North America-Pacific relative plate motion....
