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 $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 $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how the...
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 Project Grant award, valued at $442,114, was issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin. The objective of the research is to study how the pelagic calcifier communities in the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre evolved from the early Eocene to the early Oligocene, and how those changes impacted carbonate production and burial at the seafloor. The project will generate data from sediment cores collected during...
This $771,667 Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a research project to reconstruct the history of deep ocean circulation in the North Atlantic over the last ice age climate cycle. The research, conducted by The Trustees of Columbia University, will analyze high-quality sediment core data to examine evidence of changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its relationship to past climate change. 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 Project Grant award, totaling $207,480.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Utah State University. The primary objective is to reconstruct the magnitude, pace, and dynamics of climate change during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a significant paleoclimate event that occurred approximately 56 million years ago. The research team will utilize cutting-edge analytical techniques to conduct individual foraminiferal analysis on...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $323,234 Project Grant to Claremont McKenna College under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The project, titled "MCA PILOT PUI: PROXY-MODEL COMPARISON USING CARBON ISOTOPES FROM ANNUALLY BANDED MARINE CALCIFIERS AND OCEAN CIRCULATION INVERSE MODELS TO EVALUATE COASTAL CARBON CYCLE PROCESSES," will use data from proxy archives to perform a model-proxy...
