- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $385,643 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Vermont & State Agricultural College to investigate magma diversification and mobilization processes in the lower continental crust. The 3-year research project will link field mapping, microstructural analysis, geochemistry, and geochronology to test competing models for how magmas form and are extracted from the deep roots of continental arcs. The...
- This $106,572 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports research to improve climate reconstructions and quantify the preservation of organic biomarkers in marine sediments. The primary awardee, President and Fellows of Middlebury College, will employ a latitudinal transect of existing sediment cores from the Line Islands region of the equatorial Pacific to investigate how variations in bottom water oxygen conditions...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $192,083 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin for collaborative research titled "Behavior of Boron During Prograde Diagenesis and Metamorphism of Pelagic Sediments from the Nankai Trough." The two-year award runs from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research will strengthen fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes by examining boron behavior during the alteration...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $405,037 Project Grant to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2025. The award will support collaborative research to better understand how the depth of magmatic processes in the mid-ocean ridge system varies based on tectonic setting. Researchers will analyze melt inclusions and crystals in ocean floor basalts from a...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $117,832 awarded on July 1, 2022 will support research into the geological processes that have shaped the continental lithosphere beneath New England through time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the investigators from Williams College and research institutions will conduct seismic imaging of the crust and upper mantle using data from deployments of seismometers in New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine....
- This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $536,839 to South Dakota School of Mines & Technology on March 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct a global-scale investigation of carbon concentration and variability in Earth's mantle. The project, which runs through February 28, 2029, will analyze melt inclusions from spreading ridge lavas collected in Iceland and at seafloor locations to determine the nature and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $300,000 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research titled "EAGER: Characteristic Disruptions of the Marine Carbon Cycle." The two-year award beginning in August 2021 will fund basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through support of investigations into the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences....
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 two-year Project Grant to researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund a research project to Quantify Scale of Lower Crust and Mantle Heterogeneities Beneath the Continental United States through Bridging Seismology, Mineral Physics, Petrology, and Magnetotellurics. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system. This...
The Bennington College Corporation received a $153,509 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct research investigating the effects of faulting on chemical exchange between seawater and Earth's mantle at slow mid-ocean ridges. The two-year award, issued February 1, 2021 with a completion date of January 31, 2023, will support the awardee's work modeling and measuring chemical fluxes across the seafloor-mantle boundary and assessing implications for the composition and evolution of the mantle. The Integrative Activities program aims to enhance U.S. competitiveness in science and engineering through capacity-building activities that broaden participation in research and education.
