Status of Proposed NSF Projects Milton Garces University of Hawaii, Manoa Second NSF Infrasound Workshop, June 8, 2005
NSF Mission To promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national defense. Geosciences: GEO addresses the nation's need to understand, predict, and respond to environmental events and changes to use Earth's resources wisely.
NSF Infrasound Workshop, June 24-25, 2003Selected Projects Studies of eruption processes in basaltic and andesitic volcanoes (Two submissions, to be changed) PI: M. Garces, University of Hawaii, Manoa Modeling the Generation and Propagation of Microbaroms (Rejected, new theory developed) PI’s: Ken Gilbert, University of Mississippi Milton Garces, University of Hawaii, Manoa Source studies of littoral infrasound (Rejected, related project with BBNT funded by DARPA) PI’s: Mark Merrifield, University of Hawaii, Manoa Milton Garces, University of Hawaii, Manoa Probing the ionosphere using dual-frequency GPS to identify the causes of long-period acoustic waves in the atmosphere and to study coupling between the lower atmosphere/solid Earth and the upper atmosphere PI’s: Michael Hedlin and Jean-Bernard Minster, University of California, San Diego Eric Calais and Jennifer Haase, Purdue University Infrasonic Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere PI: Ken Gilbert, University of Mississippi Collaborator: Douglas Drob, Naval Research Laboratory
