Collaborative Research: Brittle-plastic deformation, fluid-rock interaction, and extensional reactivation along Laramide thrust faults in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Colorado
This collaborative project investigates the deformation history of structures involved in formation of the Rocky Mountains and Rio Grande rift in southern Colorado. Through detaile...
Collaborative Research: Investigating the role of topography and magma properties on dike pathways beneath stratovolcanoes using field data, analogue experiments, and modeling
Volcanic eruptions are a major natural hazard in the United States, where there are about 169 potentially active volcanoes, many of which are located in areas with rapidly expandin...
Ultrafine Inorganic Particle Formation in Plasma-Assisted Combustion
Particulate matter in the atmosphere leads to reduced air quality, poses health issues, and complicates climate prediction. On a global scale, fossil fuel combustion contributes to...
Collaborative Research: Linking predator functional diversity to prey dynamics through the functional response
Human activities such as habitat modification, harvesting and species introductions are rapidly changing the type and number of predators in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The...
Workshop Series on Thermal Issues in Climate Change
Climate change is one of the most important issues of our time. The consequences of a changing climate have implications on local and global economies and human health and can exac...
Collaborative Research: Role of soil microbiome resilience in ecosystem recovery following severe wildfire
Wildfire is a natural feature of healthy forest ecosystems. There is concern because the frequency and intensity of these events are increasing as our climate warms. Among their ma...
Collaborative Research: Isotopic Indicators for Mechanisms of Organic Matter Degradation under High Productivity and High Carbon Flux Conditions (EXPORTS)
The downward settling of organic material transports carbon out of the ocean surface, as part of a process called the biological pump. However, only a small fraction of organic mat...
SBIR Phase I: Automated Speech Therapy Through Speech Recognition with Error Identification
The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to improve outcomes for individuals with speech sound disorders (SSD) by increasing access t...
Collaborative Research: Experimentally Informed Modeling of Structural Heterogeneity and Deformation of Metallic Glasses
Non-Technical SummaryMost metals are crystalline where atoms arrange into periodical arrays in 3-dimensions and their structure-property relationships have been well-established, w...
AccelNet-Design: Harnessing Global Science Networks to Accelerate Cultures of Learning
This global network of networks aims to fill critical gaps in knowledge regarding how principles of learning function in diverse cultural contexts. International data representing...
MRI: Acquisition of a Confocal Micro-Raman Spectrometer
This Major Research Instrumentation award is to acquire a Raman spectrometer for research, education, and broader impacts in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Raman spectroscopy use...
CICI: UCSS: Building a Community of Practice for Supporting Regulated Research
The daily news clearly shows the increasing threat to safety and privacy of data, personal as well as intellectual property. The Department of Defense modified the DFARS clause to...
MRI: Acquisition of a New X-Ray Diffractometer to Advance Research and Education in Primarily Undergraduate/Minority Serving Institutions within the District of Columbia
This award to the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) is supported by the Major Research Instrumentation and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation programs to support and...
Collaborative Research: MSA: Uncovering local and regional controls on organic matter processing in freshwaters using in situ optical sensors
Inland waters, including streams, rivers, wetlands, and lakes, are critically important to the global carbon cycle. A portion of the organic carbon produced on land by plants is ev...
Collaborative Research: Frameworks: Convergence of Bayesian inverse methods and scientific machine learning in Earth system models through universal differentiable programming
Understanding and quantifying parameter sensitivity of simulated systems, such as the numerical models of physical systems and mathematical renderings of neural networks, are essen...
Collaborative Research: MSA: Upscaling soil organic carbon measurements at the continental scale: Evaluating emergent ecosystem properties using multivariate quantitative methods
Increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major cause of global climate change. One of the most effective nature-based solutions to this challenge lies right under our feet...
Novel Decompositions and Fast Numerical Methods for Peridynamics
Peridynamic theory is an emerging modeling tool used in engineering applications to analyze material discontinuities including dynamic fracture, spontaneous crack formation, and fr...
Holocene Upper Atlantic Temperature Trend: AMOC Variability or Anomalous Heat Uptake
Whether and how the Atlantic Meridional Ocean Circulation (AMOC) has changed during the last 11,000-years is uncertain. Yet, the AMOC influences the distribution of heat, salinity,...
Collaborative Research: Probing feedbacks between thermal structure, petrologic transformation, and rheologic evolution within dynamically evolving subduction zones
Subduction zones – places where one tectonic plate sinks beneath another – are responsible for the generation of deadly earthquakes, explosive volcanoes, global chemical cycling in...
Interactions at the protein-lipid bilayer interface: quantitative characterization via single-molecule force spectroscopy
Proteins are important components of cells, which are the building blocks of all living things. Everything that enters and exits a cell (e.g., nutrients and pharmaceuticals) must g...
