This $162,061 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) to The Trustees of Princeton University to conduct a collaborative, multi-disciplinary research effort. The project aims to investigate the processes that shape climate and biotic recovery following major carbon cycle perturbations caused by large igneous province volcanism events. Key objectives include developing high-resolution records of volcanism and...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $1,551,062 Project Grant to the University of Oklahoma under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2025. The grant funding will support research services focusing on the cultural resilience and shifting baselines of the North American fur trade. Specifically, the University of Oklahoma will provide data collection, analysis, and documentation of specimen samples to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth...
This $597,328 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative, multi-disciplinary research effort to investigate the long-term impacts of large igneous province volcanism on climate and biological recovery. Key objectives include: 1) developing high-resolution records of volcanism, weathering, climate, and life; 2) modeling the coupled processes of mantle dynamics, magma transport, and volcanic outgassing; 3) assimilating...
This $1,006,501 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to understand the processes that shape climate and biotic recovery following major carbon cycle perturbations driven by large igneous province volcanism. The project aims to develop high-resolution records of volcanism, climate, and weathering, and to integrate these with models of mantle geodynamics, magma transport, and outgassing....
This $304,716 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort between U.S. and U.K. institutions to study the effects of large igneous province volcanism on climate and environmental recovery. The University of California, Davis is the primary grantee, with no planned sub-awards. The project aims to develop high-resolution records of volcanism, climate, and weathering, as well as coupling models of mantle...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $597,142 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support collaborative research titled "Volcanism on the Edge - Basaltic Volcanism from Source to Surface across the Colorado Plateau/Basin & Range Transition in SW Utah." The three-year award beginning August 1, 2022 will fund research examining nearly forty Quaternary basaltic volcanic fields...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,601 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) at the Geneseo campus. The grant, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, supports collaborative research to develop an integrated understanding of the Late Devonian Earth system, with a focus on ocean-climate-biosphere interactions during this critical period in Earth's history. Key objectives include: 1)...
This Project Grant award for $387,558 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Oregon. The project aims to develop methods for extracting statistically robust patterns from existing volcanic records, analyzing volcanism as a temporal, spatial, and spatio-temporal process. Key goals include identifying the most active volcanoes, delineating the extent of volcanic fields, and forecasting the timing...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $282,980 project grant to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) at the University at Albany. The grant, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026, supports collaborative research to diagnose global climatic responses to large volcanic eruptions. The key research effort involves providing proxy-based global estimates of spatiotemporal changes in temperature...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $578,106 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) will advance the understanding of super-eruptions and the deposits they leave behind, known as ignimbrites. The project, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will use the Peach Spring Tuff in Arizona as a case study to investigate how large-volume pyroclastic flows move and maintain high temperatures...
