About this opportunity

The Geophysics Program supports basic research in the physics of the solid earth to explore its processes from the Earth's surface to its deepest interior. The program’s disciplinary focus spans flow, mineral physics, potential mechanics and deformation. Within these fields, the program encourages a wide range of , and/or computational studies, and encourages new methods, approaches and innovative research directions. Research questions the program addresses include but are not limited to 1) understanding geohazards, such as the fundamental geophysical processes underpinning earthquakes, volcanoes and mass flows; 2) crustal and lithospheric structure and dynamics including and mountain-building processes; 3) mantle and evolution; 4) core structure and core-mantle interactions; 5) global and planetary-scale processes, early Earth formation and evolution, isostatic adjustment, and the magnetic field.
