We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the NSF Award Database.The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Csedi: Testing Resolution of Deep Earth Seismic Structure Under the Pacific Using Geodynamic Models @ Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University The temperature and composition structure in the Earth's lower mantle provides important clues to the chemical differentiation and dynamics of the planet, especially in regard to how heat is transported from the core to the mantle. A large-scale, slow seismic-velocity anomaly in the lower mantle beneath the Pacific has been imaged in tomographic studies. The thermal and compositional structure of this anomaly remains poorly understood. This research integrates seismological and geodynamical efforts to investigate important issues in understanding the structure of this deep seismic anomaly. We will use thermochemical convection models to develop candidate mantle structures that can be investigated with seismic wave propagation simulations using realistic earthquake and receiver geometries. This will allow us to identify seismic phases that are sensitive to differences between the candidate mantle structures and to investigate whether finite-frequency theory provides additional insight beyond ray-theory for the geometry of these structures, and how 3-D attenuation structure affects our interpretation of tomographic images. |

High-Resolution Imaging of the Mantle Transition Zone Using Earthscope Usarray @ Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University The dominant tectonic process responsible for earthquakes, volcanoes and landform evolution in the continental United States in the past 200 million years has been the subduction of the Farallon plate beneath the North American Plate. Understanding this subduction process has been a challenge as most of the Farallon plate is now several hundred kilometers below the surface. This research takes advantage of a new technique to analyze seismic data and a rich data set collected by EarthScope USArray stations to image the subducted Farallon slab beneath the continental United States, a process similar to the imaging in medical CT Scan. This research aims to advance understanding of the subduction process with focuses on the following questions: (1) How does the older and deeper subducted Farallon plate connect with the younger plate now subducting beneath the Pacific Northwest? (2) What is the relation between the subduction of Farallon plate and the formation of the Yellowstone volcanic track? (3) How does the subducted Farallon plate interact with the deeper mantle across the US continent? High-resolution images of the Farallon slab, seismic measurements as well as computer codes based on the new seismic theory will be made available to the broader Geosciences community. Hands-on course projects and labs based on this research will be developed and implemented in undergraduate teaching. |
