This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $333,652 to Harvard University for a 2-year study to reconstruct atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels during the Late Cretaceous through Paleocene periods, approximately 79 to 61 million years ago. The research focuses on analyzing organic molecules and isotopes preserved in sediment cores collected during the International Ocean Discovery...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $336,517 to President and Fellows of Harvard College from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The funding supports collaborative research analyzing 150 years of sea surface and subsurface observations to map whole-ocean temperature and detect circulation changes. This work aligns with the goals of the Geosciences program under the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 47.050. This CFDA...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $395,871 in funding to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) to conduct collaborative research on pyrite oxidation and the resulting triple oxygen isotope composition of sulfate. The research aims to better understand the environmental conditions and biogeochemical processes that Earth experienced over its lifetime, as recorded in ocean sediments and rocks....
The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $449,535 project grant to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The grant, funded under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a research project examining potential feedback mechanisms that may explain past observations of warm mid-latitude upwelling regions and wet conditions in southwestern North America during the early Pliocene epoch, relative...
This $106,572 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports research to improve climate reconstructions and quantify the preservation of organic biomarkers in marine sediments. The primary awardee, President and Fellows of Middlebury College, will employ a latitudinal transect of existing sediment cores from the Line Islands region of the equatorial Pacific to investigate how variations in bottom water oxygen conditions...
The University of California Santa Cruz will receive $398,673 in funding from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through July 2024 to conduct collaborative research that will illuminate the Cenozoic alkenone pCO2 record. This Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. UC Santa Cruz, doing...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $508,160 in funding to Rutgers, The State University to conduct collaborative research on long-term changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels during past warm periods. The project aims to reconstruct the movement of the Southern Westerly Winds and evaluate its impact on the Southern Ocean's biological carbon pump and atmospheric CO2 concentrations over the last 900,000 years. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $374,314 to Yale University to investigate changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago, as an analog for understanding the ocean's response to modern climate warming. The researchers will use data and models to quantify the impacts of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, such as circulation changes and biological processes,...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $185,519 to The Trustees of Columbia University for collaborative research probing the ventilation efficiency of the deep ocean with conservative dissolved gas tracers in archived samples. The research directly supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This $304,397 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the development of sensitive and time-saving analytical methods to quantify long chain alkenones in ocean and lake environments. Alkenones are biomarkers produced exclusively by certain microalgae that provide insights into past climate and aquatic productivity when measured in geological sediments. The awardee, Brown University, will optimize reversed phase high performance liquid...
