The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $419,135 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund the development of a robust temporal framework for the Paleoproterozoic crash of atmospheric oxygen from June 2021 through May 2024. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under this award, University of Wisconsin researchers will conduct basic research to expand fundamental knowledge of changes in atmospheric oxygen levels during the Paleoproterozoic era, approximately 2.5 to 1.6 billion years ago, delivering enhanced scientific understanding of Earth's early atmosphere and climate evolution.
