This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $208,680 will support research into the role of a basal magma ocean in influencing early Earth's magnetic field processes. Awarded on August 15, 2022 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, with performance through July 31, 2025, the grant is part of NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research team will conduct dynamic and static compression experiments to measure physical properties of...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $249,976 supports research at Arizona State University from August 2022 through July 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund collaborative research between experimental mineral physics and computational geodynamics to advance understanding of deep Earth processes through three key pieces. First, dynamic compression experiments will measure the spin state and structure of dense iron-bearing silicate melts. Second,...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $564,286 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to support research investigating two hypotheses for the generation of Earth's ancient magnetic field. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will be used to conduct first-principles quantum-mechanical simulations to predict key material properties governing electron transport in silicate liquids and test whether a silicate dynamo hosted in...
This $107,298 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Rochester to investigate the evolution of magnetic fields on Earth and other planets. Over five years, the award will support graduate student and local high school/undergraduate student-led research using computer modeling and shock experiments to study early planetary core formation and the potential influence of meteorite impacts on generating magnetic...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $127,684 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Florida to conduct a collaborative research project investigating the history of the Earth's magnetic field strength over the last five million years, with a focus on the Southern Hemisphere. The research team, consisting of scientists from the University of California San Diego, University of Florida, and Liverpool University, will employ innovative...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $641,554 Project Grant to the Carnegie Institution of Washington to support research measuring the melting curve of iron to the pressure of Earth's inner core boundary from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The research aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through latent-heat based measurements of the melting properties of iron at extreme pressures similar to those in Earth's deep...
This $199,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate the properties of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) alloys under the extreme pressure and temperature conditions of the Earth's core. The project, led by researchers from Arizona State University, Carnegie Institution for Science, and University of South Florida, will conduct dynamic compression experiments and molecular dynamics...
This two-year, $389,244 National Science Foundation project grant funds the development of numerical modeling to investigate thermo-chemical convection in Earth's core and implications for geomagnetic field evolution. Funded under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the modeling aims to better understand how Earth's magnetic field has been maintained over billions of years through fluid motion in its liquid outer core. The Carnegie Institution for Science will receive funding to support a...
This $278,947 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to investigate the Earth's historical geomagnetic field. The research team from Columbia University will synthesize new and existing paleomagnetic data from Arctic sediment cores to study changes in geomagnetic dipole moment and field morphology during the early Holocene period (10,000 to 7,000 years ago). The goal is to test the hypothesis that...
This $272,164 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to investigate the historical changes in the Earth's geomagnetic field, particularly during the early Holocene period from 10,000 to 7,000 years ago. The research team from Oregon State University will synthesize new and existing paleomagnetic data from sediment cores collected across the Arctic region to study variations in the geomagnetic dipole...
