The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research titled "UNRAVELING FLUVIAL KINEMATICS BEFORE THE RISE OF LAND PLANTS: BRIDGING LABORATORY AND GEOLOGIC SCALES." The two-year award beginning August 1, 2021 will fund basic research at the University of California, Santa Barbara to enhance understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanded knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will support laboratory and field work analyzing river dynamics before the emergence of land plants, with the aim of linking experimental and geologic observations across scales. The Geosciences program seeks to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through such support of fundamental geoscience research.
