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 Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $258,922 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support the collaborative research project "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--MADAGASCAR CAVES AND PALEOCLIMATE II (MADCAP II), CONTINUING STUDY OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE OF THE WESTERN INDIAN OCEAN." The three-year project, which commenced on July...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $136,778 to support collaborative research on constraints of global mean sea level and fingerprinting polar ice mass flux from coastal cave records. The research aims to advance knowledge of global mean sea level variations and characterize the relative contribution of ice sheets and glaciers over the last 130,000 years....
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $523,416 to support the REU Site: Summer Program at Harvard in Earth and Environmental Research (SPHEER): Investigating a Changing Planet Across Multiple Timescales. The funding supports a 10-week intensive research experience for undergraduate students working closely with Harvard University faculty and graduate students on projects involving atmospheric chemistry and physics,...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $792,434 will fund research using sophisticated climate modeling to investigate atmospheric convection and cloud formation over a wide range of conditions. Led by President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as Harvard University, the research focuses on very hot atmospheres with high humidity levels that occurred during Earth's distant past. The investigations will yield new insights into climate regimes on Earth and other...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded $441,470 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Massachusetts Office of Grant & Contract Administration in Hadley, MA. This three-year Project Grant will support the continuing COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--MADAGASCAR CAVES AND PALEOCLIMATE II (MADCAP II) study analyzing climate variability in the southern hemisphere of the Western Indian Ocean. The research aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $395,871 in funding to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) to conduct collaborative research on pyrite oxidation and the resulting triple oxygen isotope composition of sulfate. The research aims to better understand the environmental conditions and biogeochemical processes that Earth experienced over its lifetime, as recorded in ocean sediments and rocks....
