This $457,027 award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the acquisition of a laser ablation-quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer system at the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. The new instrumentation will support a broad range of geoscience research projects across 21 research groups, including studying volcanic hazards, the deep earth water cycle, paleoclimate reconstructions, and trace metal...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award, valued at $281,066, will fund research to precisely quantify the carbon content and isotopic signature (δ13C) of the Earth's upper mantle. The research aims to advance fundamental knowledge of Earth's interior and carbon cycle through a two-pronged approach: Experimental determination of the mass-dependent isotopic fractionation of carbon during the degassing of silicate melts under...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $565,595 Project Grant to Columbia University from May 2021 to April 2024 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant funds an undergraduate research experience program titled "REU SITE: Research Experience for Undergraduates: Interdisciplinary Cutting-Edge Research Though the Analysis of Global Data." The program will provide research opportunities for undergraduates to conduct interdisciplinary projects...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $552,562 Project Grant to Columbia University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 15, 2021 through June 30, 2024.
