- This three-year, $378,521 National Science Foundation Project Grant to the University of Nevada, Reno will support research examining the physical controls on carbon dioxide release from shale weathering. The goal is to advance understanding of an important natural control on Earth's climate and provide a framework to improve climate change predictions. Specifically, the researchers will quantify how variations in physical erosion rate, precipitation rate, and local topography influence shale...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant awards $362,421 to Utah State University for a five-year research initiative (April 1, 2026–March 31, 2031) examining the ancient carbon cycle through analysis of siliceous deep-sea sediments. The primary research deliverable is a new proxy methodology using germanium/silicon (Ge/Si) ratios in microfossils, particularly radiolarians, to constrain ancient silicate weathering rates. The project will generate...
- 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...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $174,000 to study the connections between silicate weathering and organic carbon cycling in watersheds within the Upper Deschutes Basin in Oregon from September 2021 through August 2023. The grant supports basic research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the...
- 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 $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 $398,984 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to quantify the biophysical, physiological, and phenological impacts of increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels on vegetation and their effects on future climate change. The research utilizes the Community Earth System Model to examine the direct impacts of CO2 fertilization and stomatal closure, as well as the indirect effects of a longer growing season, on...
