The Geophysics Program supports laboratory, field, theoretical, and computational studies related to composition, structure, and processes of the earth's interior. Topics include studies in seismicity and seismic wave propagation, the nature and occurrence of earthquakes, the earth's magnetic, gravity, and electrical fields, and its internal temperature distribution. Supported research also includes geophysical studies of active deformation, including GPS-based geodesy, and fundamental laboratory studies of properties and behavior of earth materials in support of geophysical observation and theory.

Target Dates and Deadlines

Proposals for this program must be received no later than June 1st and December 1st.
