Syracuse University was awarded a $488,302 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system.
Under the award, Syracuse University will conduct collaborative research to test the hypothesis that reduction of aerobic habitat was a common kill mechanism for major mass extinction events. The research aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the role oxygen levels played in past biodiversity crises. The five-year project grant commenced on September 1, 2021 and has a scheduled completion date of August 31, 2026.
