The Trustees of Dartmouth College were awarded a $241,434 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research to evaluate snowlines across the tropics and examine the geomorphic imprint of tropospheric cooling and drying during the Last Glacial Maximum. Specifically, Dartmouth College researchers will work to strengthen fundamental knowledge of integrated...
Trustees of Dartmouth College will receive $269,822 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on eukaryotic life and its preservation within the Mesoproterozoic Lower Belt Supergroup. Dartmouth researchers will combine lithostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, and detrital geochronological analysis of fossil-rich formations in Montana to better understand early eukaryote evolution and diversification patterns. The project...
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...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation supports collaborative research titled "Global Changes, Local Impacts: Study of Glacial Fjords, Ecosystems and Communities in Greenland" from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2026 with funding of $326,947. The research is conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Trustees of...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
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....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $247,428 Project Grant to Trustees of Dartmouth College, Office of Sponsored Projects Division (Dartmouth College), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The goal of this 3-year collaborative research project is to examine the Porcupine Fault System in northeastern Alaska and northwestern Yukon, Canada, which likely played a key role in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. The research involves a new...
This $228,331 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research to understand the evolution of continental lithosphere beneath New England through geologic time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the research team will employ seismic imaging techniques and analyze geologic structures exposed at the surface to illuminate plate tectonic processes that have shaped the region. Specifically, the investigators from the University of Vermont and partner...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
