Project Grant 2202911
- This three-year, $232,034 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve reconstructions of past sea surface temperatures. The Ohio State University will work to test and refine approaches for extracting seasonal and mean annual temperature signals from geochemical proxies of past sea surface temperatures. They will also produce new paired foraminifera-magnesium/calcium and alkenone derived sea...
- 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 $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...
- This $269,580 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Oregon State University to improve paleoclimate reconstruction in high-latitude regions. The university will develop new and enhanced trace element to calcium paleoproxies for understudied temperate to polar planktic foraminiferal species found in the Northern California Current region. Researchers will establish magnesium to calcium-temperature and sodium to calcium-salinity...
- This $749,164 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium. The University of California, Santa Barbara will collaborate with researchers to produce records of tropical sea surface temperature variability using geochemistry from long-lived corals in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Comparing multi-century coral data from these ocean basins...
- 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....
- 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 $784,389 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into the causes of sea surface temperature fluctuations in the North Atlantic Ocean and their climatic impacts. The University of California, Riverside will conduct climate model simulations using the Community Earth System Model to explore the roles of natural variability versus external forcing factors like anthropogenic aerosols in driving the temperature changes. Specific...
- 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 $409,233 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to connect seasonal to millennial timescales through a new 4D variational framework for assimilating paleoclimate proxy data. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing and implementing a new data assimilation approach to integrate high-resolution (monthly to decadal) paleoclimate proxies, such as coral records and sediment...
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 simulations spanning multiple warm interglacial periods. They will also generate new paired foraminifera-magnesium/calcium and alkenone sea surface temperature records from seven sites representing the Holocene, Last Interglacial, and Marine Isotope Stage 9. This work aims to provide a way forward to better understand drivers of past sea surface temperature change and its response to internal and external forcings. The funding will also support training opportunities for early career scientists and a K-12 science outreach program communicating results.
