The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) received a $308,650 three-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs. The grant will support collaborative research titled "Temperature and Atmospheric Circulation History of High-Latitude Canada Across Interglacials of the Past 1.5 MYR from Cave Deposits." The research aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of polar regions by using cave deposits to reconstruct temperature and...
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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $136,778 to support collaborative research on constraints of global mean sea level and fingerprinting polar ice mass flux from coastal cave records. The research aims to advance knowledge of global mean sea level variations and characterize the relative contribution of ice sheets and glaciers over the last 130,000 years....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $190,000 to resolve high-resolution paleoclimate variability in subarctic Canada across the mid-Pleistocene transition and interglacial periods of the last 1.5 million years. The postdoctoral researcher will characterize past interglacial climate variability using rare subarctic speleothems, combining novel geochronological techniques, micro-analytical methods, and imaging to reconstruct...
This $786,904 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to measure absolute paleo-surface temperatures for important past climate periods in the southwestern and northern United States. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will provide quantitative paleoclimate reconstructions using dual clumped isotope and strontium isotope analyses of speleothem samples from multiple caves. Researchers from the University of New Mexico and the University of Michigan...
This $1,185,628 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds research at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science examining the evolving role of the ocean and atmosphere in decadal to multidecadal climate variability modes. The principal investigators aim to determine if climate modes characterized by alternating 20-40 year warming and cooling episodes in the North Atlantic, such as the Atlantic Multidecadal...
The University of Michigan will receive $331,413 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to develop precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. The grant will support basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
This $696,926 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds collaborative research between the University of New Mexico, University of South Florida, and Harvard University to advance understanding of global mean sea level variations and the relative contributions of polar ice sheets and glaciers. The researchers will use geological records preserved in coastal cave deposits to reconstruct global mean sea level history over the past 130,000 years...
The University of Florida was awarded a $198,117 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct research on the role of ice sheet instability in marine carbon and nutrient cycling in the Eurasian Arctic. The three-year award running from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2026 will support research using sedimentary records to investigate links between climate change events, land-sea-ice exchange pathways of carbon and nutrients over the past 160,000 years. The...
The University of Connecticut will receive $289,433 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs to conduct collaborative research titled "Peripheral East Antarctic Ice as a Unique Recorder of Climate Variability During the Last Interglacial." The grant was awarded on August 15, 2021 with a completion date of July 31, 2024. The research aims to strengthen understanding of the polar regions by expanding knowledge of climate variability...
