Supports integrative field, laboratory, computational and theoretical research to understand the deformation of the terrestrial continental lithosphere.

Supports research on water beneath and on the Earth’s surface and relationships of water with material and living components of the environment, with a focus on hydrologic processes and fluxes of water.

Supports research on surface Earth processes and environmental and evolutionary change. Focus areas include using the geologic record to study life; modern sedimentary processes and deep-time records; and dating and measuring geologic events and processes.

Supports research on the formation of planet Earth, including its accretion, early differentiation, and its petrologic and geochemical modification via igneous and metamorphic processes.

Supports infrastructure proposals for the following: acquisition or upgrade of research equipment; development of new instrumentation, techniques or software; and community facility support to make complex and expensive instruments.

Supports research on geochemical processes in Earth’s surface environmental systems on land, as well as the terrestrial interaction of geochemical and biological processes at all temporal and spatial scales.

Supports research on the processes that shape and modify Earth's landscapes over a variety of temporal and spatial scales, with a focus on the Holocene.

Supports laboratory, field, theoretical and computational research on the physics of solid earth, from the surface to the interior of the Earth, exploring composition, structure and processes.
