The National Science Foundation's Geophysics Program is seeking applications for grants to support basic research in the physics of the solid earth. The program encourages a wide range of laboratory, field, theoretical, and/or computational studies that explore the composition, structure, and processes of the Earth from its surface to its deepest interior. Key research areas include understanding geohazards, crustal and lithospheric structure and dynamics, mantle composition and evolution,...
The National Science Foundation's Marine Geology and Geophysics program supports fundamental research on all aspects of the geology and geophysics of the ocean basins, margins, and the Great Lakes. Key areas of focus include the structure and tectonic evolution of ocean systems, the genesis and chemical evolution of marine sediments, ocean circulation patterns and paleoclimates, and the interactions between continental and marine geologic processes. This opportunity is open to unrestricted...
The National Science Foundation's Petrology and Geochemistry Program is seeking applicants for basic research on the formation of planet Earth, including its accretion, early differentiation, and subsequent petrologic and geochemical modification via igneous and metamorphic processes. Proposals may address the petrology and high-temperature geochemistry of igneous and metamorphic rocks and minerals, mineral physics, economic geology, and volcanology. Proposals focused on the development of...
The National Science Foundation is seeking applicants for the Geospace Facilities (GF) grant opportunity. The grant will support fundamental research on the structure and dynamics of the Earth's upper atmosphere, with a focus on utilizing the agency's network of incoherent-scatter radar facilities and the SuperDARN coherent scatter radar system. The research efforts are expected to have strong links to the Aeronomy Program and the Magnetospheric Physics Program. The evaluation criteria will...

Paragraph 1: This Federal Grant Opportunity, Magnetospheric Physics (Grant ID 359610-F), is being offered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support fundamental research on the magnetized plasma envelope of the Earth's outer atmosphere. The key objectives include understanding the energization by the solar wind, the origin of geomagnetic storms and substorms, the population by solar and ionospheric sources, the origin of electric fields, the coupling among the magnetosphere, ionosphere,...
The National Science Foundation's Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) program is seeking applications for grants to support fundamental research and expand scientific knowledge about the Earth's magnetosphere, its coupling to the atmosphere and solar wind, and the development of predictive models. The goal is to advance the physical understanding of the large-scale organization and dynamics of the geospace environment through observations, theory, and realistic models. The program is open to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is seeking proposals for its Geography and Spatial Sciences (GSS) Program, which promotes basic scientific research in geography and spatial science to advance theory, fundamental understanding, and scientific approaches. The program supports a range of funding mechanisms, including regular research awards, doctoral dissertation research improvement awards, faculty early-career development awards, and awards for conferences, group travel, and...
The National Science Foundation's Geomorphology and Land-use Dynamics (GLD) Program is seeking grant proposals for innovative fundamental research into processes that shape and modify the Earth's landscapes over a variety of length and time scales, with a focus on the Holocene. The program encourages research that quantitatively investigates the coupling and feedback among such processes, their rates, and their relative roles, especially in the contexts of variation in biologic, climatic, and...
