Researchers will reanalyze 2019 data from 400 instruments to identify small earthquakes and precisely locate...
- The University of Alaska Anchorage will receive $365,000 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research developing capacity for planning and adapting to riverbank erosion and its consequences in the Yukon River Basin from January 2022 through December 2026. As part of its basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the NSF Geosciences program supports projects that strengthen understanding of integrated Earth...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation totals $174,000 to support research entitled "ACTIVE TECTONICS AND CRUSTAL STRUCTURE OF NORTHERN ALASKA." The grant is funded through the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under this award, the grantee organization will conduct research to enhance...
- The University of Alaska Fairbanks received a $290,273 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on arc plutonism along the Denali Fault in Alaska from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024. The grant supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through studying possible fault controls on incremental magma transport and assembly along the long-lived strike-slip Denali Fault. The Geosciences...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Michigan State University $187,925 on January 1, 2027, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on seismic phenomena in the Eastern Aleutian Subduction Zone. The award, classified as a Project Grant, runs through December 31, 2030, with place of performance in East Lansing, Michigan. The project will deploy broadband ocean bottom seismographs in the Eastern Aleutian Subduction Zone to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $347,238 to Michigan State University (MSU) to conduct collaborative research on the structure and behavior of the Alaska megathrust subduction zone. The project aims to enhance the fundamental understanding of how geological structures influence seismic activity in subduction zones, with the ultimate goal of improving earthquake hazard mitigation efforts. Key research activities...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Kansas State University $314,175 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate Eocene arc initiation and plate reorganization in southern Alaska through geologic field observations and analysis. The research team will collect sedimentologic and structural field data, bedrock and modern river sand samples from the Alaska Peninsula to determine the spatial-temporal evolution of Paleocene-Eocene subsidence, magmatism, and deformation in the forearc region, and to decipher linkages between upper-plate processes and approximately 50-million-year-old Pacific-wide plate reorganization models related to Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone initiation. The study examines the ~50- to 25-million-year-old Aleutian-Meshik arc and forearc basin. Results will be disseminated through presentations, papers, and public talks in rural Alaskan villages and Katmai National Park to promote awareness of geohazards and mineral and energy resources relevant to Western and South-Central Alaska. The award is a Project Grant with performance at Manhattan, Kansas and runs through July 31, 2029. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
