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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities provides $160,019 to Idaho State University under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct collaborative research reconstructing the geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia. The research will use thermochronology studies of sedimentary and basement rocks to investigate ancient supercontinent breakup processes and fill a one...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $349,282 to Dartmouth College from July 2021 through June 2023. The funding supports collaborative research using multisystem deep-time thermochronology to decipher Neoproterozoic exhumation patterns in time and space. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system via basic...
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...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $180,000 to Harvard University from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2024. The funding will support research analyzing zircon samples from the Wyoming Province and Singhbhum Craton dating back 4.01 billion years or more to better understand early Earth processes, including evidence for plate tectonics, the distribution of surface water, and rock types. Specifically, the grantee will conduct...
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)...
The University of Southern California will receive $240,634 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research aims to illuminate fundamental climate processes that influenced terrestrial ecology in western Pangea during Earth's previous icehouse period between 304-280 million years ago. Researchers will identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in...
This Project Grant award of $172,793 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support a collaborative research project. The goal is to study a geological core sample from the U.S. Midwest that provides a record of the dramatic climate transition from a glacial "icehouse" period to a severe "hothouse" period approximately 300 million years ago, culminating in the largest mass extinction...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $117,832 awarded on July 1, 2022 will support research into the geological processes that have shaped the continental lithosphere beneath New England through time. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the investigators from Williams College and research institutions will conduct seismic imaging of the crust and upper mantle using data from deployments of seismometers in New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine....
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $399,282 to the University of South Carolina to conduct collaborative research on the thermal structure of an ancient Alpine subduction zone. The research team will integrate petrochronology (pressure-temperature-time constraints) of exhumed rocks from the Western Alps with geodynamic subduction modeling to characterize the time-evolving thermal conditions along the paleo-subduction...
