- 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...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $389,039 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program to investigate the distribution of heat-producing elements (uranium, thorium, and potassium) during partial melting of metasedimentary rocks in continental crust. The project will measure rock chemistry and radiometric ages across a transect in the Nepal Himalaya—from unmelted pelitic schists through migmatites and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Colorado State University $299,919 on July 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the tectonic evolution of the Ancestral Rocky Mountain system. The research examines fault geometry, kinematics, and deformation structures across four field areas in southern and central Colorado along the Ancestral Uncompahgre uplift margins, focusing on late Paleozoic (Pennsylvanian-Permian) structures formed 325 to...
- 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....
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $180,000 to Harvard University from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The funding will support research analyzing zircon samples from the Wyoming Province and Singhbhum Craton dating back 4.01 billion years or more to better understand early Earth processes, including evidence for plate tectonics, the distribution of surface water, and rock types. Specifically, the grantee will conduct...
- This $185,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to leverage isotopic compositions of igneous systems to resolve the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research, led by the University of Texas at El Paso, aims to determine the distribution and geometry of subducted sediment in the continental crust by using igneous rocks as "deep-crustal probes" to...
- 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 awarded a $305,251 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research examining metamorphic rocks from ancient subduction zones in the Baja California peninsula from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to quantify the pressure-temperature-time histories of amphibolite, blueschist, and eclogite rocks using advanced thermobarometry and petrochronology techniques to better understand the...
- 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 Earth Sciences awarded Yale University $386,921 on July 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop next-generation geochemical box models that interpret chemical signals preserved in rocks to reconstruct Earth's early history and evolution. The project, "Bridging Geochemical Observations with Continental Growth and Emergence: A New Modeling Approach with Heterogeneous Crustal Reservoirs," will incorporate finite-time...
