- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $323,234 Project Grant to Claremont McKenna College under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The project, titled "MCA PILOT PUI: PROXY-MODEL COMPARISON USING CARBON ISOTOPES FROM ANNUALLY BANDED MARINE CALCIFIERS AND OCEAN CIRCULATION INVERSE MODELS TO EVALUATE COASTAL CARBON CYCLE PROCESSES," will use data from proxy archives to perform a model-proxy...
- This $163,915 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project investigating changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene, a warm period approximately 3 million years ago. The primary objectives are to quantify the marine carbon response to temperature-sensitive mechanisms within the ocean, with the goal of better predicting carbon storage during future climate warming. 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,...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $315,082 project grant to Middlebury College on June 1, 2021 with a completion date of November 30, 2024. The grant falls under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to promote basic research and education in those fields as well as monitor science resources. Under this award, Middlebury College will work to transform theory and STEM education through reproductions and replications in geographical sciences. The...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $104,679 to Claremont McKenna College from June 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024 to conduct collaborative research on reconstructing a 250-year history of environmental conditions in the Gulf of Maine. The research team will use geochemical proxies in marine climate archives, such as growth bands in clams and crustose coralline algae, to generate multi-centennial,...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $825,297 to The Trustees of Columbia University for the period of August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant supports experimental refinement of the boron isotope proxy in planktic foraminifera to better understand temperature, asensitivity, and seawater elemental composition. A subaward of $50,000 is provided to Vassar College to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $206,812 Project Grant to Middlebury College for research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GLACIAL DEEP PACIFIC CARBON STORAGE AND EFFECTS ON CACO3 PRESERVATION." The three-year award, effective June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024, will support basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through support of basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the Middlebury College research will investigate glacial deep Pacific carbon storage and its effects on calcium carbonate preservation, advancing understanding of interactions within the Earth system. All work will be conducted at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont.
