The Trustees of Princeton University were awarded a $228,080 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant falls under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise.
Specifically, the September 1, 2021 award will fund a collaborative research project through August 31, 2026 to test the hypothesis that reduction of aerobic habitat was a common kill mechanism for major mass extinction events. The research will be conducted by Princeton University under the direction of the Office of Research and Project Administration. The five-year project aims to advance understanding of the integrated Earth system through exploration of how changes in oxygen availability may have impacted life on multiple occasions in Earth's deep past.
