This grant, offered by the Geophysics Program, supports fundamental research into the physics of the solid earth. Its primary purpose is to explore the Earth’s composition, structure, and dynamic processes through comprehensive studies. Research methodologies encompass laboratory experiments, field observations, theoretical modeling, and computational simulations. Key areas of investigation include seismicity, seismic wave propagation, and the mechanisms of earthquakes. The program also funds studies on the Earth’s magnetic, gravity, and electrical fields, its thermal structure, and overarching geodynamics. Additionally, it supports geophysical studies of active deformation, including advanced geodesy, and research into the properties and behavior of earth materials essential for geophysical observation and theoretical advancements. This initiative aims to deepen our understanding of our planet’s interior and its physical phenomena.
