The Marine Geology and Geophysics Department is offering this grant to support comprehensive research into the geology and geophysics of ocean basins, their margins, and the Great Lakes. This funding opportunity is designed for projects exploring the structure, tectonic evolution, and volcanic activity of mid-ocean ridges, island arc systems, and continental margins. It also covers processes governing heat and chemical exchange between seawater and ocean rocks, alongside the genesis, chemistry, and mineralogic evolution of marine sediments. Further supported areas include the deposition, erosion, and transport of these sediments, investigations into past ocean circulation patterns and climates, and the intricate interactions between continental and marine geologic processes. This grant aims to advance understanding across diverse aspects of marine Earth sciences.
