About this opportunity
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, core structure and dynamics, and global and planetary-scale processes. Applicants may include universities and other research organizations. Proposals will be evaluated based on their potential to advance scientific knowledge and address critical challenges in geophysics.
Awards under this program typically range from $79,139 to $4,893,936 and span 1-5 year project periods. The work is predominantly performed at academic facilities, field sites, scientific observatories, and research vessels across the United States, with opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration.
Synopsis
The Geophysics Program supports basic research in the physics of the solid earth to explore its composition, structure, and processes from the Earth's surface to its deepest interior. The program's disciplinary focus spans geodesy, geodynamics, geomagnetism, heat flow, mineral physics, potential fields, seismology, rock mechanics and deformation. Within these fields, the program encourages a wide range of laboratory, field, theoretical, and/or computational studies, and encourages new methods, approaches and innovative research directions. Research questions the program addresses include but are not limited to 1) understanding geohazards, such as the fundamental geophysical processes underpinning earthquakes, volcanoes and mass flows; 2) crustal and lithospheric structure and dynamics including faulting, subduction, rifting and mountain-building processes; 3) mantle composition, structure, dynamics and evolution; 4) core structure and dynamics, geodynamo, and core-mantle interactions; 5) global and planetary-scale processes, early Earth formation and evolution, isostatic adjustment, and the magnetic field.
