- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $851,808 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a project grant running from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant will support research analyzing tectonic degassing as a potential driver of the mid-Miocene climate transition approximately 14 million years ago, when the Earth experienced sustained cooling. Key products include new biomarker-based sea surface...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity. The $205,877 award to the Stony Brook University Research Foundation will generate 3D datasets from micro-CT scans of mammalian fossils and develop new AI tools to rapidly analyze functional traits like dental topography and limb morphology. This will characterize changes in mammalian functional...
- This $308,515 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to study changes in pelagic ecosystem function and their impact on the carbon cycle from the Eocene to Oligocene periods (56-33.9 million years ago). The project aims to reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem and determine how these changes affected carbonate production and preservation during a time of...
- The National Science Foundation awarded East Carolina University a $452,448 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research examining tradeoffs between phenology and geography constraints in species' responses to climate change across life cycles. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $215,151 to develop records of hydroclimate variability in the southeastern United States from the middle Holocene to present day. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at the University at Albany will lead collaborative research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
- 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 $163,915 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project investigating changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene, a warm period approximately 3 million years ago. The primary objectives are to quantify the marine carbon response to temperature-sensitive mechanisms within the ocean, with the goal of better predicting carbon storage during future climate warming. The...
The Research Foundation of the City University of New York received a three-year, $114,348 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support collaborative research on paleoenvironmental and paleoecological responses to climate change in the early Eocene climatic optimum. The grant falls under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the funding will enable analysis of sediment cores and fossil records from the early Eocene period approximately 56 to 47 million years ago, when global temperatures were substantially higher than today. Insights gained from studying how ecosystems and environments responded to elevated CO2 levels and warmer conditions during this climatic optimum in Earth's history may yield lessons applicable to ongoing climate change. The grant period runs from August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2024.
