This $258,177 National Science Foundation Project Grant supports research at Rice University to advance understanding of the physical controls on carbon dioxide release from shale weathering and its influence on Earth's climate. The three-year award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collection of field data on the loss of organic carbon in shale depth profiles at sites in California with varying erosion and precipitation rates. Researchers will measure profiles up to 10...
This $303,642 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research to quantify global carbon cycle feedbacks during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a past period of global warming. Led by the University of California Santa Cruz, the research team will measure how volcanism contributed to atmospheric carbon dioxide rise during this event and constrain total carbon emissions through new ocean acidification records. They will also develop novel carbon cycle modeling to compare...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program awarded a $498,356 project grant to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) for the project "Controls on Ridgeline Profile Morphology." This 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, will fund research to improve the understanding of how ridgelines are shaped and eroded, which is key to predicting natural hazards like landslides, debris flows, and river flooding. The project will test three hypotheses about the controls on ridgeline...
This $372,598 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to incorporate stream biogeochemistry into carbon assessment models for enhanced rock weathering, a carbon dioxide removal approach. The project aims to add biological processes like photosynthesis and respiration into a dynamic river network model to better quantify the fate of bicarbonate generated through enhanced rock weathering. This will help identify river...
This $318,666 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Carleton College to evaluate carbon sequestration through enhanced weathering in agricultural soils. The three-year field trial will test the carbon removal efficiency and benefits to crops and soils from annual applications of crushed silicate minerals. The investigator will monitor experimental treatments including locally occurring crushed basalt and an industrial slag...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports fundamental research and development at the University of Tulsa to advance the modeling and analysis of CO2 transport in porous media for geological carbon sequestration. The $157,471 award, effective July 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, aims to develop computationally efficient data-driven models to predict and analyze the complex flow behavior of CO2 in geological formations. The...
The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) received a three-year, $298,200 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research studying carbon injection and silicate weathering feedback during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. Through May 2023 to April 2026, Penn State will quantify carbon dioxide addition to the ocean-atmosphere system during this ancient warming event and model how the Earth system responded, including...
This $201,294 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into carbon cycle feedbacks during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. The grantee, Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will generate new records of ocean chemistry and develop novel modeling strategies to quantify global carbon cycle responses during this past period of warming. A postdoctoral researcher at UC Santa Cruz and undergraduate interns from UC...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $335,489 to Florida State University to conduct collaborative research on depth-dependent decarbonation processes in the Sierra Nevada, California. The research focuses on understanding how high-pressure, high-temperature metamorphism driven by magma intrusion into the Earth's crust can mobilize carbon and other elements, potentially leading to the formation of valuable skarn mineral...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $601,138 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on the nonlinearity and feedbacks in the atmospheric circulation response to increased carbon dioxide (CO2). The research aims to understand the mechanisms driving differences in circulation changes across climate models and the causes of nonlinear responses, such as the rapid weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning...
