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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $197,841 to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography is part of the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The award funds a collaborative research project to study the history of the Earth's magnetic field strength over the last five million years, with a focus on addressing significant gaps in data from the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to investigate changes in the Earth's geomagnetic field over the early Holocene period (10,000 to 7,000 years ago). The $278,947 award to The Trustees of Columbia University will fund the synthesis of new and existing paleomagnetic data from Arctic Ocean and lake sediment cores to reconstruct geomagnetic field direction and intensity changes during this...
This Project Grant award for $272,164 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to investigate the early Holocene geomagnetic field. The research team from Oregon State University will study geologic archives, including Arctic Ocean and lake sediment cores, to reconstruct changes in geomagnetic field direction and intensity over the 10,000 to 7,000 year period. This work aims to test the hypothesis that the recent...
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 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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award of $306,011 to Michigan Technological University supports a research project to investigate the history and behavior of the Earth's magnetic field over millions of years by studying volcanic lava flows in Iceland. Key objectives include obtaining precise ages for a representative set of these lava flows, including some of the oldest in Iceland, to fill significant gaps in the global database of the Earth's magnetic...
This $311,914 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to advance the understanding of the deep structure and tectonic dynamics beneath the African continent. The project, led by Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, will leverage seismic, geodetic, and geodynamic data to develop high-resolution models of the African crust, lithosphere, and upper mantle. The research aims to investigate the...
This two-year, $163,559 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the development of high-resolution records of paleomagnetic secular variation (PSV) in the Western North Atlantic Ocean between 380,000-780,000 years ago. Specifically, the grantee will reanalyze PSV records including directions, relative paleointensity, and evidence of six magnetic field excursions recorded in deep-sea sediments at...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to advance the understanding of Earth's deep structure and tectonics beneath the African continent. The $224,360 award to the University of Rochester will develop high-resolution models of the African continental crust, lithosphere, and upper mantle using seismic and geodetic data. The goal is to investigate how the anomalously hot upper mantle beneath...
