- This $711,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to analyze thirty years of foraminiferal assemblages from the Santa Barbara Basin. The grantee will create a record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the basin and connect the results to modern oceanographic measurements and older seafloor sediments. This will improve understanding of how climate change has...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $186,352 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of South Carolina (USC) to conduct collaborative research on the influence of the Southern Hemisphere on the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) thermocline over the past 1.5 million years. The project aims to extend the geochemical record of WPWP subsurface warming during previous glacial-interglacial transitions to better understand the pattern and potential role of...
- Oregon State University was awarded a $680,529 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund research from August 2021 through July 2024 to study the environmental consequences of expanded recruitment of an ecosystem engineer on a hypoxia-influenced continental shelf. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated systems through atmospheric,...
- 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...
- The University of South Carolina received a three-year, $140,467 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant supports collaborative research titled "EXPORT AND REMINERALIZATION RATES OF BIOACTIVE AND PARTICLE REACTIVE TRACE ELEMENTS USING THORIUM-234" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
- This three-year, $153,568 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to establish the molecular biological controls of biomineralization in two model species of single-celled foraminifera. Led by Oregon State University, the project aims to sequence the genomes and transcriptomes of the foraminifera to identify shell matrix proteins responsible for shell formation. Researchers will culture...
- Oregon State University was awarded a three-year, $452,842 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research examining tradeoffs between phenology and geography constraints in species' responses to climate change across life cycles. As part of its mission to strengthen the national science enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, the NSF...
- North Carolina State University received a $191,004 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on October 1, 2021 to complete work by April 30, 2022. The grant supports research entitled "Glacial-Interglacial Changes in Oxygen Minimum Zones Using Deep-Dwelling, Low-Oxygen Planktic Foraminifera" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic...
The University of South Carolina will research foraminiferal ecological response to ocean conditions in the Northwest Pacific Ocean under a $377,418 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant was awarded on April 1, 2021 for a period of performance through March 31, 2024 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the University of South Carolina will conduct collaborative research to strengthen understanding of foraminiferal ecology and how these species respond to changing ocean conditions in the Northwest Pacific, advancing knowledge of the integrated Earth system.
