- This NSF Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award to Brown University provides $270,794 to support research on the role of deep ocean equilibration in warmer climates. The project aims to: Perform long-running climate model simulations (over 6,000 years) to better understand the equilibrium responses of the deep ocean under elevated CO2 conditions, as seen during the Middle Miocene Climate Optimum around 15 million years ago. Compare the simulated Miocene ocean conditions with...
- This $683,266 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reconstruct global ice volume and bottom water temperature over the past 1-3 million years. The project at Brown University will analyze multiple climate proxies, including biomarkers and stable isotopes, using machine learning algorithms to resolve global ice volume and ocean temperature signals. The key objectives are to assess the role of CO2 and ice albedo in global...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $851,808 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a project grant running from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant will support research analyzing tectonic degassing as a potential driver of the mid-Miocene climate transition approximately 14 million years ago, when the Earth experienced sustained cooling. Key products include new biomarker-based sea surface...
- This $359,809 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort between a U.S. modeling expert and a Swiss geochemistry expert to reconcile climate models and proxy data interpretations for the Miocene period (23-5 million years ago), a time of much warmer global temperatures and higher greenhouse gas levels. The project aims to develop novel proxy system models to better understand how paleoclimate proxies...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $374,314 to Yale University to investigate changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago, as an analog for understanding the ocean's response to modern climate warming. The researchers will use data and models to quantify the impacts of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, such as circulation changes and biological processes,...
- Brown University was awarded a $371,311 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 the three-year award beginning July 2021, Brown University will conduct a new stable isotope modeling study to examine the East Asian monsoon response to changes in Earth's orbit. The research aims to expand fundamental...
- This $163,915 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project investigating changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene, a warm period approximately 3 million years ago. The primary objectives are to quantify the marine carbon response to temperature-sensitive mechanisms within the ocean, with the goal of better predicting carbon storage during future climate warming. The...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to understand tropical rainfall patterns in northern South America during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. The $349,971 award to Brown University will fund measurements of chemical signals in a sediment core to reconstruct past rainfall, which will provide insights into the hydrological cycle during times of sustained global warmth similar to projected...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to trace Pacific Ocean circulation and ventilation during the warm Pliocene epoch. The $387,909 award, made on August 15, 2024, will fund the generation of paleoceanographic records to test models suggesting a strong overturning circulation in the North Pacific during this period. The research will examine redox, temperature, and productivity proxies in...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award to Brown University aims to improve the accuracy of sediment age models used in paleoclimate research. The $185,618 award, effective from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will compile over 250 marine sediment core radiometric ages to enhance the constraints on the new "BigMACS" age modeling software. This will lead to more accurate sedimentation rate estimates and reduced age-model...
