Marine Geology and Geophysics
Funds ocean-floor research — from crust formation to seafloor hazards — accepted year-round with no fixed deadline.
NSF's Marine Geology and Geophysics program funds research into the physical history of the ocean floor — the seabed of the ocean basins and their margins, plus the Great Lakes. It covers how oceanic crust forms and changes over time, ancient climate and sea-level records preserved in seafloor sediment, underwater volcanoes and the chemistry of hydrothermal vents, and geological hazards such as un…
Physical research on the ocean floor and its margins, including the Great Lakes: how oceanic crust forms and evolves, ancient climate and sea-level history recorded in seafloor sediment, underwater volcanism and hydrothermal-vent chemistry, and geological hazards like undersea earthquakes, landslides, and coastal erosion. Funds new field data collection, analysis of existing data, lab experiments, method development, and modeling.
