LSU will lead field...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award provides $219,444 to Louisiana State University to conduct a collaborative research project on discriminating between marine and terrestrial sediments in coastal wetlands. The research aims to improve understanding of the relative contributions of marine and terrestrial sources to compound flooding events driven by recent increases in hurricane strength, precipitation, and storm surges due to climate change. The...

The Louisiana State University was awarded a two-year, $439,432 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050).

The grant will support collaborative research to evaluate climate change and extinction mechanisms associated with the end-Cretaceous mass extinction through a model-data comparison approach. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research, this project aims to strengthen understanding of kill mechanisms during this major extinction event by comparing climate modeling results to geological data. The research findings will provide insight into Earth system responses to abrupt climate change that may be applicable to current global warming concerns. Louisiana State University will lead the collaboration and research through August 2023.
