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 $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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $131,201 Project Grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate and develop compound-specific isotope analysis of amino acids (CSI-AA) to better understand the species-level ecology of planktonic foraminifera. The goal is to use CSI-AA from shell-bound organics to refine inferences about foraminifera's depth habitat, diet, and symbiosis in order to improve...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $825,297 to The Trustees of Columbia University for the period of August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant supports experimental refinement of the boron isotope proxy in planktic foraminifera to better understand temperature, asensitivity, and seawater elemental composition. A subaward of $50,000 is provided to Vassar College to...
This three-year, $153,568 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to establish the molecular biological controls of biomineralization in two model species of single-celled foraminifera. Led by Oregon State University, the project aims to sequence the genomes and transcriptomes of the foraminifera to identify shell matrix proteins responsible for shell formation. Researchers will culture...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $438,331 project grant to the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2026. The research aims to characterize amino acid nitrogen isotopes in phytoplankton and advance understanding of isotopic patterns produced under varying physiological conditions. Investigators and students will explore how different...
Old Dominion University Research Foundation was awarded a $320,219 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of January 15, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The grant will support the development of a new paleosalinity proxy based on sodium-calcium ratios in the planktonic foraminifera Trilobatus sacculifer and Globigerinoides ruber. This work will strengthen understanding of the...
The University of South Carolina will research foraminiferal ecological response to ocean conditions in the Northwest Pacific Ocean under a $377,418 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences. The grant was awarded on April 1, 2021 for a period of performance through March 31, 2024 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The Geosciences program aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
North Carolina State University received a $191,004 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on October 1, 2021 to complete work by April 30, 2022. The grant supports research entitled "Glacial-Interglacial Changes in Oxygen Minimum Zones Using Deep-Dwelling, Low-Oxygen Planktic Foraminifera" under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This program aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $230,513 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Oklahoma to investigate the impact of ocean warming on trace metal requirements and use efficiencies of marine nitrifying microorganisms. The 3-year project, which commenced on May 1, 2024, seeks to provide a deeper understanding of how major biogeochemical cycles supporting marine resources will respond to climate change. The research involves laboratory studies...
