The Earth Science Department is offering this EarthScope grant to support comprehensive scientific research and educational initiatives exploring the 4-dimensional structure of the North American continent. This grant is for projects that conduct broad, integrated studies across Earth sciences, including fault properties, earthquake processes, magmatic and hydrous fluid dynamics, and large-scale continental deformation. Grantees will utilize data and capabilities from the EarthScope Facility, which includes the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO), San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD), and USArray, to advance understanding of the continent’s evolution and dynamics, and to foster Earth science education.

| Description: | EarthScope is an Earth science program to explore the 4-dimensional structure of the North American continent. The EarthScope Program provides a framework for broad, integrated studies across the Earth sciences, including research on fault properties and the earthquake process, strain transfer, magmatic and hydrous fluids in the crust and mantle, plate boundary processes, large-scale continental deformation, continental structure and evolution, and composition and structure of the deep Earth. In addition, EarthScope offers a centralized forum for Earth science education at all levels and an excellent opportunity to develop cyberinfrastructure to integrate, distribute, and analyze diverse data sets. The EarthScope Facility, consisting of the Plate Boundary Observatory (PBO), the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD), and the USArray, is a multi-purpose array of instruments and observatories that greatly expands the observational capabilities of the Earth sciences and permits us to advance our understanding of the structure, evolution and dynamics of the North American continent. This Solicitation calls for single or collaborative proposals to conduct scientific research and/or education and outreach activities within North America that make use of capabilities and/or data provided through the EarthScope Facility to further the scientific and educational goals of EarthScope. |
