The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $561,018 project grant to the University of South Carolina under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research examining three decades of foraminiferal assemblages in the Santa Barbara Basin. Over the three-year period from July 2022 to June 2025, the University will create a thirty-year record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the Santa Barbara Basin, California....
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $272,065 Project Grant to the University of Alabama under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research on planktic foraminifera from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The grant will fund a study using electron backscatter diffraction and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry to evaluate changes in biomineral structure, organic matter distribution, and relative nitrogen content of foraminifera...
This $711,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to analyze thirty years of foraminiferal assemblages from the Santa Barbara Basin. The grantee will create a record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the basin and connect the results to modern oceanographic measurements and older seafloor sediments. This will improve understanding of how climate change has...
This two-year, $162,846 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will fund research to improve paleoclimate reconstructions from planktic foraminifera in the polar North Atlantic. The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) will develop new analytical techniques to better interpret climate signals recorded in the shells of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a species of foraminifera abundant in high-latitude sediments....
This Project Grant award, totaling $284,622, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as Columbia University. The award aims to advance the calibration of an existing proxy method for measuring carbonate ion concentration in seawater, which can provide insights into past changes in atmospheric CO2 levels and the global carbon cycle. The key activities involve...
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 $269,580 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Oregon State University to improve paleoclimate reconstruction in high-latitude regions. The university will develop new and enhanced trace element to calcium paleoproxies for understudied temperate to polar planktic foraminiferal species found in the Northern California Current region. Researchers will establish magnesium to calcium-temperature and sodium to calcium-salinity...
This three-year, $384,577 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to construct robust temperature and ice volume histories during the late Cretaceous and Cenozoic periods (approximately 77-0 million years ago). The University of Rochester will utilize benthic foraminiferal test compositions from sea floor sediments to develop proxy records of deep ocean temperatures,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $726,244 to Rutgers, The State University for research correcting seasonal biases in sea surface temperature proxies. The research aims to improve paleoceanographic reconstructions by developing approaches to extract seasonal and mean annual temperature records from proxies. It will test these approaches in climate models under different...
This two-year, $267,912 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve paleoclimate proxy records in high-latitude regions. The principal investigator, George Mason University, will develop new and refine existing trace element to calcium ratio paleoproxies using planktic foraminifera species from the Northern California Current region. The research aims to establish temperature and salinity calibration relationships,...
