About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering the Tectonics Program, a grant opportunity that supports a broad range of field, laboratory, computational, and theoretical investigations aimed at understanding the deformation of the terrestrial continental lithosphere. The program focuses on deformation processes and their tectonic drivers operating at any depth within the continental lithosphere, on timescales of decades/centuries and longer, and at micro- to plate boundary/orogenic belt length-scales. The key objectives include expanding scientific knowledge about the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The evaluation criteria and important dates are not provided in the given information.
The Tectonics Program is part of the NSF's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), which typically awards grants ranging from $79,139 to $4,893,936 with project periods of 1-5 years. The work is predominantly performed at academic facilities, field sites, scientific observatories, and research vessels across the United States, with numerous opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaboration.
Synopsis
The Tectonics Program supports a broad range of field, laboratory, computational, and theoretical investigations aimed at understanding the deformation of the terrestrial continental lithosphere (i.e. above the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary). The Program focuses on deformation processes and their tectonic drivers that operate at any depth within the continental lithosphere, on time-scales of decades/centuries (e.g. active tectonics) and longer, and at micro- to plate boundary/orogenic belt length-scales.
