- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Florida $339,773 on September 1, 2026, to study copper behavior in volcanic systems using samples from the Cascades as a natural laboratory under the Geosciences program. The research examines how copper behaves during magma crystallization and degassing in six mafic volcanoes in the Indian Heaven Volcanic Field, central Cascade Arc. Researchers will collect and analyze olivine-hosted melt inclusions to...
- Cornell University was awarded a three-year, $433,198 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) beginning July 1, 2023. Under this award, Cornell will systematically map magma bodies beneath Cascades volcanoes in Washington, Oregon, and northern California through seismic imaging techniques. Working with the U.S. Geological Survey's Cascades Volcano Observatory, Cornell researchers will analyze seismic data from newly deployed instruments near volcano...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology $415,488 on August 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct multiscale seismic imaging analysis of the Cascadia volcanic arc in the Pacific Northwest. The work examines subsurface magma system structure beneath nine of eleven high or very high threat volcanoes classified by the United States Geological Survey using passive imaging techniques including...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Purdue University $317,121 on August 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct multiscale seismic imaging analysis of the Cascadia volcanic arc. The project, a collaborative research initiative, will examine subsurface structures beneath nine of the eleven high-threat volcanoes in the Cascades to improve understanding of magma system variability, magma pathways, and reservoir locations across the volcanic...
- This $494,982 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a multidisciplinary research effort to reexamine the precursory activity leading up to the catastrophic Mount Mazama eruption in Oregon approximately 7,700 years ago. The research team, led by the University of Oregon, will track changes in the chemistry and physical properties of the magmatic system over time by analyzing ash, pumice, and lava samples from the precursor...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $296,096 to Brown University provides funding to investigate the crust and uppermost mantle beneath active volcanoes using new seismic analysis techniques. The 2-year project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to advance understanding of how magma storage and migration affect the eruptibility of volcanoes in regions like Yellowstone, the Cascades Arc, and the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex. Key...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded $452,464 to the Trustees of The Colorado School of Mines on August 1, 2026, for a project grant focused on relative timing and temperature of copper mineralization in porphyry deposits. The project investigates earth processes that result in the formation of economic porphyry copper resources, which represent the world's dominant source of copper as a critical mineral. The Colorado School of Mines team will use the large...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $335,953 to Purdue University to conduct collaborative research comparing the geochemical and temporal links between volcanism and plutonism in an ancient subduction zone volcano in Washington.
