This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
This $116,693 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to illuminate fundamental climate processes that influenced terrestrial ecology in western Pangea during Earth's previous icehouse period. Key goals combine paleontology, isotope geochemistry, and magnetostratigraphy to: identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in Utah's Cutler Group sedimentary rocks; determine the pace and...
Idaho State University was awarded a $284,964 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The grant aims to strengthen geosciences career opportunities for tribal members through cultural connections to iconic landscapes. Specifically, the University will develop and deliver pathways programs linking tribal culture and traditions to...
This $184,781 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program supports a collaborative research effort to study the Mesozoic development of the North American Cordillera mountain range. The research team, led by Montana State University, will conduct a continental-scale analysis of sedimentary basins and mélange belts across four transects in California, British Columbia, southeast Alaska, and central Alaska. Key objectives include determining the age,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $213,433 to the Regents of the University of Idaho to enhance the lead researcher's data science and geoinformatics expertise through a 6-month fellowship at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC. The primary goals are to establish a reusable methodology for efficiently deploying data science in geoscience studies, focusing on mineralogy, and to improve the...
This $1,006,501 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to understand the processes that shape climate and biotic recovery following major carbon cycle perturbations driven by large igneous province volcanism. The project aims to develop high-resolution records of volcanism, climate, and weathering, and to integrate these with models of mantle geodynamics, magma transport, and outgassing....
This $439,120 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The project aims to gather paleomagnetic and mineral age data from rock samples in Idaho and Montana to test hypotheses about the timing and origin of mountain building events in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest region. This includes investigating whether...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant Award of $190,579 to Idaho State University (ISU) supports research to advance the understanding of microbial dispersal and biodiversity in deep seafloor sediments. The project aims to evaluate the potential of subsurface fluid discharges, such as upwardly migrating hydrocarbons and warm hydrothermal fluids, in transporting microorganisms from the deep biosphere to the seafloor. The research will employ...
