- This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $627,539 will fund research to define the paleoclimate-fire relationship in California across temporal scales through integrated monitoring, stalagmite studies, and proxy system modeling. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support four key objectives from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. First, the researchers will develop a process-based understanding of hydroclimate and fire tracers through cave monitoring....
- The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a $327,228 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on December 1, 2021 to develop a paired kerogen-pyrite sulfur isotope proxy for organic remineralization. The award is being used to fund research under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050) through November 30, 2023. The Geosciences program supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system, including the oceans....
- This $201,294 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into carbon cycle feedbacks during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. The grantee, Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will generate new records of ocean chemistry and develop novel modeling strategies to quantify global carbon cycle responses during this past period of warming. A postdoctoral researcher at UC Santa Cruz and undergraduate interns from UC...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences has awarded a $448,915 Project Grant to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) for the period of October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The grant is funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. The primary objective of this project is to develop new analytical and imaging tools to provide spatially...
- This three-year, $473,885 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research defining the paleoclimate-fire relationship in California across temporal scales. The award supports four objectives: 1) Monitoring three karst systems to develop process-based understanding of hydroclimate and fire tracers; 2) Building a multi-proxy karst system model linking said proxies to environmental drivers; 3) Developing comparable proxy records from ten...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences provides $132,545 to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate hydrothermal alteration processes in three Proterozoic ophiolites (ancient seafloor) over the period from July 2024 to June 2027. The research aims to reconstruct past marine oxygen concentrations, radiogenic strontium isotopic composition, and oxygen isotopic composition to advance understanding of Earth's early environment and...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The University of California, San Diego received a $317,848 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for collaborative research on volatile-carrying minerals in subduction zones. The award, effective September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028, supports the development of advanced analytical methodologies combining electrical (impedance) spectroscopy and vibrational (Raman)...
- This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $146,619 to the University Enterprises, Inc. doing business as Sacramento State Sponsored Research to conduct research titled "RUI: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CONSTRAINING PERIDOTITE ALTERATION TIMESCALES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL TRACERS (3H, 39AR, 14C AND 81KR)." The funding supports basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The Geosciences...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $267,389 Project Grant to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of June 15, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The grant funds collaborative research to validate and calibrate trace elements in pyrite as a novel proxy for paleoenvironmental reconstruction. The Geosciences program supports basic research in the earth sciences to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. This award will further those goals by investigating trace elements in pyrite to develop a new tool for studying ancient environments based on geological evidence. The three-year timeframe and funding amount will allow for thorough investigation and testing of the proxy to determine its reliability and potential applications for paleoclimate reconstruction.
