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 $355,607 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate an ancient example of flat-slab subduction in southern California and western Arizona. The goal is to collect data from rocks that were once located above the descending oceanic plate in order to improve simulations and understanding of similar modern tectonic settings, many of which pose significant...
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....
This $185,953 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to leverage isotopic compositions of igneous systems to resolve the geometry and distribution of subducted sediment in the southern U.S. Cordillera. The research, led by the University of Texas at El Paso, aims to determine the distribution and geometry of subducted sediment in the continental crust by using igneous rocks as "deep-crustal probes" to...
This $195,036 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research analyzing paleomagnetic data from sediment and basalt core samples extracted during the International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 391. A team of researchers led by The Leland Stanford Junior University will study samples cored from the Walvis Ridge in the South Atlantic Ocean to develop a paleolatitude record for Late Cretaceous and early Cenozoic volcanoes...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $409,115 Project Grant to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The award will support research investigating the development of seamounts along failed oceanic spreading centers and their interaction with convergent margins. Specifically, the project aims to determine the origin of Guadalupe Island, an alkaline seamount located...
This Project Grant award of $499,715.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program aims to increase student awareness, interest, and preparation for careers in the geosciences, a field projected to face a significant workforce shortage. The three-year project engages students from an urban two-year college in conducting authentic oceanographic research focused on assessing the health of the local marine ecosystem. Participants gain hands-on...
The University of California, Santa Barbara will research how sedimentary rocks become part of the lower continental crust under a $353,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The two-year grant running from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 will fund basic research into the integrated Earth system through studying the processes by which sedimentary materials are incorporated into the lower section of continental tectonic plates. Insights...
This $300,785 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to characterize the chemical composition and bioavailability of dissolved organic matter released by marine nitrifying microorganisms. The project aims to determine how this material contributes to carbon cycling in the deep ocean, which may help improve biogeochemical models and inform potential marine carbon dioxide removal activities. The research will...
This Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program will fund a postdoctoral fellowship focused on characterizing the microeukaryotic responses to terrestrial influence in sediments along a continental slope. The research will analyze microbial communities in sediment cores collected from the Puerto Rico continental shelf to the Atlantic Ocean depths, with the goal of identifying seafloor zones most likely to...
