- Northern Arizona University received a $318,336 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on June 15, 2021 to fund research examining the impact of horst and graben subduction on sediment flux and shallow décollement geometry in the Japan Trench. The award will support this research project through May 31, 2024. The National Science Foundation Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050) aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Arizona State University $176,810 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the structural and thermal architecture of the North American Cordillera in southeastern California. The project integrates field observations, laboratory analyses, and structural and thermal modeling to reconstruct the tectonic and thermal history of mountains near the California-Arizona...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded Northern Arizona University $358,360 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on April 15, 2026, to calibrate and standardize amino acid racemization (AAR) geochronology for marine mollusk shells as a dating method for ancient shorelines. The recipient will analyze D/L ratios from approximately 100 globally distributed Last Interglacial sites (approximately 125,000 years old) to establish temperature-dependent isochrons and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded the University of California Santa Cruz $357,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate fault slip associated with the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake. The work analyzes fault-zone samples recovered from hundreds of meters below the seafloor at three core sites on the plate boundary fault. The sites are 30 meters apart but show fault-zone thickness varying from 1 to 15 meters. Using trace...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution $428,486 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to establish relationships between tectonic features and seismic hazards at subduction zones. The research uses state-of-the-art plate tectonics models and mathematical methods to map connections between seafloor tectonic structures and earthquake locations at subduction zones, with initial focus on the Aleutians,...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Utah State University $355,007 on January 1, 2027, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct integrated experimental and modeling research on subduction zone earthquake controls through December 31, 2029. The project develops a system to distinguish whether subduction zone faults build energy for infrequent large earthquakes and tsunamis or release stress through small events and slow sliding. Research measures...
