- This $378,188 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the Washington University in St. Louis. The award will fund collaborative research to investigate the role of mantle rock composition in the development of plate tectonics on Earth and other rocky planets. Key research activities include: Conducting rock deformation experiments to assess how the relative proportions and strength contrast between dominant mantle mineral phases...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Tulane University $261,379 on September 1, 2026, to map hidden crustal structures along the East Coast passive margin using gravity and magnetic data to understand the formation and location of faults, magma bodies, earthquakes, and critical mineral deposits. The award funds a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research applies multi-scale wavelet-based methods to potential field data to identify...
- This $257,390 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research by the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the formation, transport, and deposition of economically important metals in the lower continental crust. The project will focus on studying variably metasomatized magmatic sulfide deposits in the Ivrea-Verbano Zone in Italy, which formed in the deep crust and were tectonically uplifted. The research aims to better...
