The award funds an annual five-day workshop that brings together early-career faculty in atmospheric, ocean, and solid Earth sciences to integrate evidence-based teaching,...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $470,318 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from October 2021 through December 2022. The award will support collaborative research to better understand the contribution of crustal deformation to present-day tectonics at convergent margins like the southern Cascadia forearc. Researchers will utilize multiple geochronologic techniques to develop a record of exhumation and erosion in...
- This $228,331 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to understand the evolution of continental lithosphere beneath New England through geologic time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team will employ seismic imaging techniques and analyze geologic structures exposed at the surface to illuminate plate tectonic processes that have shaped the region. Specifically, the investigators from the University of Vermont and partner...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences supports a collaborative research project led by Cal Poly Humboldt Sponsored Programs Foundation, a Hispanic Serving Institution. The $296,973 award, effective July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026, will fund an undergraduate cohort experience to investigate the tectonic and geologic history of the Klamath Mountains region of the Pacific Northwest.
