The award will help maintain and...

This two-year, $151,076 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050) will support the development of a database of high-fidelity synthetic seismograms for incorporation into the Global Centroid-Moment-Tensor Project. The awardee, Princeton University, will work with the Princeton Numerical Seismology Group and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory to adapt the SPECFEM3D_GLOBE spectral element solver to generate synthetic seismograms across a global grid of...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $499,863 awarded on August 1, 2022 to Earthscope Consortium Inc. DBA Iris will fund the Subduction Zones for the Fourth Dimension (SZ4D) Catalyst effort through July 31, 2026. The award supports the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth systems through basic research. Specifically, the funding will establish a staffed center to organize collaborative research and build equity in geosciences following...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant through its Office of International Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.079) to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to facilitate a coordinated global effort to understand subduction zone geohazards. This 4-year award aims to: Develop an intellectual community to compare global subduction zone observations and cooperatively instrument critical regions to enable breakthroughs in understanding earthquakes,...

This $3.2 million cooperative agreement from the U.S. Geological Survey will fund the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) to conduct earthquake research from February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2024. The research is part of the U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection program (CFDA 15.808) and will focus on developing improved models for earthquakes and seismic ground motion through collaborative research efforts. Key activities include developing workflows to integrate...

This $839,500 Cooperative Agreement award from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) under the Earthquake Hazards Program Assistance (CFDA 15.807) funds the operation and maintenance of the Northern California Seismic System (NCSS) by the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The key products and services to be delivered include: Operation and maintenance of seismic stations to collect high-quality seismic data Operation and maintenance of seismic data processing systems to...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $392,914 to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027 to develop a collaborative research project titled "CAIG: Next Generation Machine-Learning Approach to Decode High-Resolution Earthquake Catalogs." The project aims to leverage advanced machine learning models and algorithms to gain deeper insights into earthquake dynamics and improve...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $297,681 to Purdue University to better understand the relationship between orogenesis and seismogenesis along the southern Cascadia forearc region in northern California. The research team will analyze a recently acquired dataset using seismic methodologies including receiver function imaging, ambient noise interferometry, and joint inversion of receiver...

This Cooperative Agreement award from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) under the Earthquake Hazards Program Assistance (CFDA 15.807) provides $1,578,000.00 in funding to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) from February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2030. The award partially supports the operation and maintenance of the Southern California Seismic Network (SCSN) and the Southern California Earthquake Data Center. Key activities include operating seismic stations,...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is supporting a collaborative research effort to develop a detailed 3D model of the Los Angeles (LA) Basin. The $224,382 project aims to leverage a new high-resolution seismic data set from a 300-node geophone array deployed across the LA Basin in 2022 to better understand the basin's complex tectonic structure and its impact on earthquake ground motion. The research team, led by the California...
