The National Science Foundation awarded a $564,439 project grant to The Johns Hopkins University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. This funding supports research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, this project grant will fund composition and evolution research of saline fluids in the upper mantle. Studies of mantle...
This $351,499 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to quantify the ecological legacy of the Terminal Pleistocene megafaunal extinction on mammal communities in the Edward's Plateau region of Texas. The research team at the University of Nebraska will characterize changes in diet, morphology, and ecological interactions of extinct and surviving mammals over the past 20,000 years through stable isotope analysis, 2D/3D...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $202,138 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant funds a collaborative research project to examine the evolution of North American small mammal communities in response to landscape changes over the past 30 to 5 million years. The researchers will collect fossils and sediment samples from the U.S. Great Plains and Northwest to study how changes in habitat...
The University of Florida received a three-year $185,386 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of mammals in the first seven million years following the K-Pg mass extinction. The research team will generate and integrate fossil mammal and climate proxy records across eastern Montana to provide a detailed view of continental ecosystem changes from the end-Cretaceous...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $174,000 to study mammals as indicators of ecological recovery following the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support basic research exploring the relationship between topographic diversity and the reestablishment of mammal populations in the aftermath of the extinction. By strengthening understanding of the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to examine how terrestrial ecosystems were rebuilt following the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction event approximately 66 million years ago. The $234,197 award, with a project period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2028, will fund paleontological and geochemical analyses of fossil collections and new field...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $602,541 Project Grant to Stanford University from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research testing the hypothesis that reduction of aerobic habitat was a common kill mechanism for major mass extinction events, as part of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and...
