The University of Michigan will receive $263,675 under a two-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will support collaborative research titled "Laminated Soil Carbonate Rinds as a Tool for Investigating Late Quaternary Climate-Vegetation Links" under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $277,175 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund the development of precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. This work supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
This $234,972 National Science Foundation project grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to develop new paleotemperature records for North America. The University of Michigan, in collaboration with the University of New Mexico, will analyze cave deposits known as speleothems collected from various caves across the continental U.S. Using clumped isotope and strontium isotope analyses on approximately 200 mg subsamples, the researchers aim to determine...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,078,024 will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium through May 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Michigan will produce new paleoclimate records of sea surface temperature using the geochemistry of long-lived corals from the tropical North Atlantic and western Indian Ocean....
The Regents of the University of Michigan was awarded a $131,619 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund a collaborative research project studying Paleozoic echinoderms as model systems for understanding evolutionary modes. The research team will analyze changes in ecology, biogeography, and heterochronic shifts in ancient echinoderm groups through extreme climate events...
The Regents of the University of Michigan were awarded a $331,331 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant falls under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the grant will fund a research project at the University of Michigan from January 2022 through December 2024 to simulate partial oxidation and secondary...
The University of Michigan will receive $360,667 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research titled "Digging into Soil Carbonate Formation Processes with Triple Oxygen Isotopes" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The Geosciences program supports basic research to expand understanding of Earth's integrated system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. It is reasonable to conclude the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of Michigan in the amount of $519,517 for the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The project aims to advance the understanding of interannual variability and extreme events in the thermal structure of large lakes, specifically the North American Great Lakes, under historical and future climate scenarios. Key objectives include: Investigating...
The Michigan Technological University was awarded a $296,686 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research, learning, and inclusion efforts advancing interdisciplinary Earth science from November 1, 2021 to October 31, 2023. The grant funding will support the university's "EAGER: Geoheritage and Two-Eyed Seeing" initiative which aims to strengthen foundational knowledge...
The University of Pittsburgh received a $397,549 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on July 15, 2021 to develop a 700,000-year record of tropical precipitation, evaporation, and temperature from Lake Junin sediments and regional speleothems. The funding supports basic research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences research....
