Project Grant 2202903
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $103,519 will support collaborative research by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from August 2022 to July 2025 to reconstruct bottom water temperatures on the Middle Atlantic continental shelf over the past 5,000 years using living and fossil shells of Atlantic surfclams and ocean quahogs. The grant aims to develop spatial-temporal reconstructions of bottom water temperatures to further...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $144,969 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to produce a continuous, annually resolved, and millennial-length marine climate history of the Northeast Pacific Ocean region. The project will utilize paleoclimate proxies from bivalve mollusks, tree-ring chronologies, and tropical coral growth-increment records to reconstruct sea surface temperatures and climate variability in...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $104,679 to Claremont McKenna College from June 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024 to conduct collaborative research on reconstructing a 250-year history of environmental conditions in the Gulf of Maine. The research team will use geochemical proxies in marine climate archives, such as growth bands in clams and crustose coralline algae, to generate multi-centennial,...
- 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 $711,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to analyze thirty years of foraminiferal assemblages from the Santa Barbara Basin. The grantee will create a record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the basin and connect the results to modern oceanographic measurements and older seafloor sediments. This will improve understanding of how climate change has...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $275,001 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts Boston, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050). This collaborative research initiative will generate high-resolution paleoclimate reconstructions documenting Earth's response to Laurentide Ice Sheet meltwater discharge during the last deglaciation (approximately 20,000...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $614,058 will fund research at San Diego State University from September 2022 to August 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will support efforts to improve reconstructions of past sea surface temperatures through developing methods to extract seasonal and mean annual temperature signals from geochemical proxies. Researchers will test approaches for correcting seasonal biases in proxy records against climate model...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $561,018 project grant to the University of South Carolina under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research examining three decades of foraminiferal assemblages in the Santa Barbara Basin. Over the three-year period from July 2022 to June 2025, the University will create a thirty-year record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the Santa Barbara Basin, California....
- This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $726,244 to Rutgers, The State University for research correcting seasonal biases in sea surface temperature proxies. The research aims to improve paleoceanographic reconstructions by developing approaches to extract seasonal and mean annual temperature records from proxies. It will test these approaches in climate models under different...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $103,517 will support research reconstructing bottom water temperatures from bivalves on the continental shelf off the east coast of the United States from approximately 5,000 years ago to present. The award was made on August 1, 2022 to The University of Southern Mississippi under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes. Researchers will analyze isotope ratios in living and fossil shells of Atlantic surfclams and ocean quahogs to develop spatial-temporal reconstructions of bottom water temperatures on the mid-Atlantic shelf over the past 5 millennia. This will provide insights into past climate changes in the region and their impacts on the two clam species, allowing for projections of future range distributions. Results will also further understanding of variability in the cold pool formation along the continental shelf each summer. Graduate and undergraduate students will participate, linking oceanography and paleoclimate science.
