This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $1,086,964 provides funding to Brown University from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 to develop improved reconstructions of global temperatures during the Miocene climate transition approximately 14 million years ago. The award is made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the university...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $240,179 project grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) on January 15, 2023. The grant will fund the development of high-resolution paleoceanographic records from the late Miocene to early Pliocene periods (8.3-4.0 million years ago) at the central Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. Specifically, the project will generate a UK’37-based sea surface...
This $192,832 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant supports research at San Jose State University to generate new paleoceanographic records from the late Miocene to early Pliocene periods in the central Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. The records will document ocean surface temperature and biological productivity variability to provide insights into the role of the Southern Ocean in late Miocene climate change. Specifically, the grant will fund the...
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,...
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 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $586,098 to Texas A&M University to conduct research reconstructing ancient ocean temperatures during the Devonian-Mississippian climate transition. The university will test whether tropical ocean temperatures reached extremely high levels of 95-104 degrees Fahrenheit during the time of early animals. It will examine the role of rapid cooling in triggering biotic crises and explore...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,078,024 will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium through May 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Michigan will produce new paleoclimate records of sea surface temperature using the geochemistry of long-lived corals from the tropical North Atlantic and western Indian Ocean....
The National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $449,535 project grant to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The grant, funded under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a research project examining potential feedback mechanisms that may explain past observations of warm mid-latitude upwelling regions and wet conditions in southwestern North America during the early Pliocene epoch, relative...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $333,652 to Harvard University for a 2-year study to reconstruct atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels during the Late Cretaceous through Paleocene periods, approximately 79 to 61 million years ago. The research focuses on analyzing organic molecules and isotopes preserved in sediment cores collected during the International Ocean Discovery...
