- Syracuse University was awarded a $253,594 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under this three-year award beginning September 2021, Syracuse University researchers will conduct collaborative research to revisit the water-saturated granite solidus. The funding will support basic research exploring...
- This $104,044 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the formation of metamorphic garnet minerals. The grantee, Trustees of Boston College, will conduct fieldwork, laboratory analysis, geochronology dating, high-temperature and pressure experiments, and thermodynamic modeling. This multidisciplinary work aims to test the hypothesis that metamorphism and associated fluid release can occur rapidly rather than gradually over...
- Syracuse University was awarded a $488,302 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant is part of NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under the award, Syracuse University will conduct collaborative research to test the hypothesis that reduction of aerobic habitat was a common kill mechanism for major mass extinction events. The research aims to expand...
- The National Science Foundation awarded $150,455 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York for a project grant ending January 31, 2025. The award will support research to develop diffusion models for major and trace elements in orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, which are important mantle and crustal minerals. The project has three key tasks: theoretical and numerical modeling of cation diffusion across exsolution lamellae in...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate the provenance of rare earth element-bearing monazite minerals in the Southeastern U.S. Atlantic Coastal Plain. The $147,775 award, made to Syracuse University, aims to explore potential bedrock and sedimentary sources of monazite and develop improved methods for locating these critical mineral deposits. The research will employ mass...
- Federal Grant Award Summary Syracuse University received a $334,990 postdoctoral fellowship award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (Geosciences Program, CFDA 47.050) effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028. The fellowship supports research reconstructing and modeling hydrology, vegetation, and ocean temperatures during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (approximately 6-5.3 million years ago), when tectonic activity closed and subsequently reopened the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $468,724 project grant under its Geosciences program to Washington State University (WSU). The grant supports research to investigate how deformation of granitic rocks may alter their geochemical and isotopic signatures, which are commonly used to reconstruct the formation and evolution of the Earth's crust. The study aims to evaluate whether variably deformed granitic rocks faithfully retain the original geochemical fingerprints of their...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $387,136 Project Grant to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. This grant will fund a research project titled "Water in Garnet as a Record of Fluid Flow During Metamorphism" from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The objective of this project is to use in-situ measurements of water content in garnets to investigate the processes of fluid release and fluid flow events during the growth of...
- Syracuse University was awarded a $582,713 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026. The grant funds research to quantify the impacts of agriculture on regional climate extremes through analysis of observational datasets, climate model simulations from the Community Earth System Model, and simulations from the Land Use Model Intercomparison Project. The Principal Investigators will examine...
