This $330,221 federal Project Grant award was made by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) to support research on the habitability of the Hadean Earth. The project aims to analyze Hadean zircons recently discovered in South Africa to better understand Earth's early history, including the onset of plate tectonics, mantle outgassing, and the emergence of the first continental crust. The research...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) supports collaborative research by Trustees of Union College in Schenectady, NY to study diffusion behavior of elements in the minerals zircon and baddeleyite. The $118,795 award, active from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will fund experiments to better understand how atoms diffuse within these important geochronometric minerals. The findings will help improve...
This $546,436 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Washington State University to study the Paleoarchean geologic record preserved in the Zimbabwe and Sao Francisco cratons. The principal investigator and students will integrate isotope geochemistry and geochronology techniques to determine the timescale of crust formation events in these regions from 3.65 to 2.7 billion years ago. They will obtain helium,...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $358,891 will fund research and educational activities related to understanding the cycling of halogens like chlorine and fluorine in Earth's early magmas and fluids. Led by the University of Rochester under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the project aims to advance fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes through targeted studies of ancient zircon minerals. Key deliverables include high-temperature and...
This three-year, four-hundred twelve thousand nine hundred forty-three dollar Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to experimentally simulate zircon recrystallization processes in aqueous solutions. Vanderbilt University will conduct innovative isotope tracer experiments on zircon-fluid mixtures at high pressures and temperatures, characterizing materials using microanalysis techniques. Researchers aim to...
The University of Iowa received a $326,121 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on September 1, 2021 to complete the project by August 31, 2024. The grant funds single-grain, multi-parameter characterization of detrital zircon grains to test for the influence of sample processing and sedimentologic processes. This work supports the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $165,744 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF-SUNY) to conduct collaborative research on diffusion studies in the minerals zircon and baddeleyite. The 3-year project, which runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, aims to improve understanding of the diffusion behavior of key elements within these critical minerals. This research will provide important data to interpret...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences provides $247,800 to President and Fellows of Harvard College from August 2021 through July 2024 for research titled "CSEDI COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: THE NATURE AND TIMING OF EARTH'S ACCRETION." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $125,320 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on May 1, 2021 to complete work by November 30, 2021. The grant supports the collaborative research project "THE ZIRCONIUM ISOTOPE COMPOSITION AND VARIABILITY OF THE SILICATE EARTH -- A PILOT STUDY" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050). This program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
