Amendment 77: New Opportunity: A.18 Geosphere
The A.18 Geosphere subelement of the latest NSF amendment invites proposals addressing geohazards and their impact on the Earth System. This includes analyzing volcanic deformation, pre-seismic activity monitoring, and the connection between hazard cascades such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides.
Proposals in this category should also explore the relationship between resource extraction, surface deformation processes, and the impact on geomorphic and anthropogenic processes. This could involve analyzing the distribution of critical mineral deposits and their links to crustal processes.
Utilizing airborne or orbital assets is encouraged for such studies. The final 2025 list of critical minerals, published in the Federal Register, is a useful reference for proposers seeking to develop process-based connections between crustal processes and the locations and volumes of economically-relevant critical mineral deposits.
