- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a collaborative research effort to bridge the gap between short-term earthquake dynamics and long-term plate tectonic processes. The $205,000 award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University will develop advanced computational methods to efficiently model the coupled physics of great earthquakes and plate tectonics on the largest supercomputers. The project aims to provide a...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research on compositional controls on shear localization and the development of plate tectonics on Earth and other rocky planets. The award, totaling $409,681, will be provided to The Pennsylvania State University from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The research will integrate new rock deformation experiments and numerical models of mantle convection to determine which...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) is funding the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between Earth's surface and interior processes. The $123,880 award, running from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2028, will couple two widely used open-source community software packages - ASPECT and LANDLAB - to...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Towson University $311,276 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study ancient oceanic crust and the evolution of plate tectonics on Earth. The project examines approximately 900-million-year-old rocks preserved in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, comparing them to more recent oceanic deposits to understand how plate tectonic processes have changed through geologic time and influenced the generation of...
- 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $185,478.00 in funding to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to evaluate tectonic models for the western United States Cordillera region through a detailed study of the Pelona-Orocopia-Rand schist. The researchers will use modern analytical techniques, including Raman spectroscopy, bulk chemical analysis, and pressure-temperature modeling, to determine the age, pressure, and temperature...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Colorado $414,127 on April 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the interactions of glacial isostatic adjustment and plate tectonic processes. The research will develop a mantle viscosity model consistent with observations of sea level, glacial-isostatic-adjustment-induced crustal motion and gravity change, subducted slab structures, and geoid anomalies above subduction zones. The...
