Dense temperature sensor strings deployed...
- This $128,052 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to estimate fault slip rates across the Japan fault system over the past 25 years. The research, led by investigators at Smith College and Harvard University, will combine 3D fault system models with statistical tracking techniques to provide a comprehensive understanding of how fault movements are interconnected over time and space, including variations in slip rates between large...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and Hebrew University to directly measure fault rupture dynamics and seismic wave propagation in a laboratory setting. The $399,601 award, effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will leverage specialized laboratory equipment to conduct high-speed imaging and in-situ seismogram...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded $537,000 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography on August 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program to develop new approaches to earthquake stress drop estimation and quantify variations in high-frequency seismic radiation. The research will improve systematic analysis of earthquake behavior by addressing inconsistencies in stress-drop measurements across scientific groups and...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Project Grant, awarded to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC), aims to advance the understanding of subduction fault and earthquake mechanics. Through a combination of new experiments on subduction zone rocks and numerical modeling, the project will investigate how the rheology (deformation behavior) of the megathrust fault zone, and the heterogeneity within it, affect fault slip behavior. Additionally, the project will...
