This $102,656 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program Assistance (CFDA 15.807) will enable the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego to collect new Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data and combine it with existing data to refine the interseismic velocity field around the Anza seismic gap along the San Jacinto Fault in Southern California. The data and analysis will be used to improve estimates of...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $776,679 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography on August 1, 2021 for seismological investigations of earthquakes and deep earth structure. The grant is funded through the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) and will support basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through July 31, 2024. As the prime awardee, Scripps Institution of Oceanography will...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences totals $137,255 to support the development of a plate-scale distributed strain sensing system as a candidate for earthquake early warning. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography will use the award period from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023 to establish the feasibility of measuring seafloor deformation along...
This $354,304 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research program called "Designing Sedimentation and Tectonics Research Experiences for Student Success (DE-STRESS)". The program is hosted by California State University San Bernardino and the University of Cincinnati, and aims to recruit junior-level university students and sophomore-level community college students into geosciences educational and...
This $122,773 collaborative research project, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to identify unique evidence of past earthquake ruptures preserved in the fractured and pulverized rocks surrounding major faults in Southern California. The goal is to develop criteria to distinguish earthquake-related damage from long-term fault evolution, and to test the hypothesis that the style and intensity of fault damage can be used to estimate the maximum...
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...
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 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...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $303,820 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California, Santa Cruz to characterize the seismic radiation from finite earthquake sources and investigate its links to fault physics. The research aims to improve understanding of large earthquake scenarios in different tectonic plate boundary settings by developing physics-based computational models that can reproduce geophysical observations. Key objectives...
This $544,307 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project investigating seismic cycle processes in the earthquake critical zone of major continental strike-slip faults. The research team, led by Utah State University (USU), will bridge geoscience and engineering concepts, data, and models to deliver research products and broader impacts across six key pathways: Establishing a...
