Barnard College received a two-year, $253,258 Project Grant award 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 to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system.
Under the award, Barnard College researchers will collaborate on a project titled "RUI: COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: CONSTRAINING PERIDOTITE ALTERATION TIMESCALES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL TRACERS (3H, 39AR, 14C AND 81KR)." The researchers will work to better constrain the timescales of peridotite alteration by using environmental tracers like tritium, argon-39, carbon-14, and krypton-81. The grant period runs from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. The research supported by this award will enhance fundamental knowledge in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as intended by the NSF Geosciences program.
