Project Grant 2044603

Lehigh University received a two-year, $110,776 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research using multisystem deep-time thermochronology to decipher Neoproterozoic exhumation patterns in time and space. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system via basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Lehigh University will deliver research analyzing exhumation histories during the Neoproterozoic Era through integrating multiple thermochronometric techniques, with results expected to provide new insights into the interplay between tectonic and surface processes over deep time.
