- This $563,190 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of a community-driven roadmap to advance broadening participation goals in the geoscience community over the next 50 years. The University of Texas at Austin will convene a conference for stakeholders from academia, industry, professional organizations, and government agencies to reflect on past efforts and cultivate new partnerships to support diversity, equity and...
- The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $595,062 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under the three-year award beginning September 2021, the University will assess the long-term stability of adaptive radiations using the fossil record. The products will include analyses of how species groups...
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Texas at Austin $425,000 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a probabilistic fault system model based on a cross-validated, second-order damage evolution framework for large continental fault systems. The project develops a new modeling approach to capture uncertainty in fault network behavior, treating faults not merely as fixed geometric features but as systems...

- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Texas at Austin $555,725 on August 15, 2026, to acquire a variable pressure field emission scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive and electron backscatter detectors (EDS and EBSD) for geoscience research and student training. This award falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The SEM will enable...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Texas at Austin $320,400 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate why earthquake foreshocks are rare in nature. The research uses meter-scale fault experiments with arrays of strain gauges and fault slip sensors to detect and measure nucleation zone expansion and couple its evolution to spatiotemporal changes in foreshocks. The project will quantify the coupling between...
- This $351,499 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to quantify the ecological legacy of the Terminal Pleistocene megafaunal extinction on mammal communities in the Edward's Plateau region of Texas. The research team at the University of Nebraska will characterize changes in diet, morphology, and ecological interactions of extinct and surviving mammals over the past 20,000 years through stable isotope analysis, 2D/3D...
