This $116,693 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to illuminate fundamental climate processes that influenced terrestrial ecology in western Pangea during Earth's previous icehouse period. Key goals combine paleontology, isotope geochemistry, and magnetostratigraphy to: identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in Utah's Cutler Group sedimentary rocks; determine the pace and...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $398,967 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research calibrating the pace of paleotropical environmental and ecological change during Earth's previous icehouse period from 304 to 280 million years ago. The research aims to identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary and correlate...
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...
This $178,059 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the University of Southern California to develop a machine learning-based table extraction tool to help streamline paleoclimate data analysis. The goal is to create an AI-powered Python toolbox that can automatically identify and extract tabular paleoclimate data from unstructured files, reducing the time scientists spend wrangling and annotating these datasets before...
This $293,010 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at The Ohio State University to develop novel isotope proxies that improve understanding of Earth's climate and carbon cycle dynamics at the onset of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age from 350 to 290 million years ago. The grantee will pair calcium and clumped isotope systems to test hypotheses regarding diagenetic influences on stable carbon isotopes used as proxies for carbon...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $877,305 to the University of Southern California from September 2021 through August 2024 to develop PaleoCube capabilities. PaleoCube will enable cloud-based access to paleoclimatology data and tools. The funding will support developing cloud-based infrastructure and services for storing, analyzing, and visualizing paleoclimate data. Northern Arizona University will receive a sub-award as part...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
The University of Southern California will receive $473,608 under a two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to acquire analytical instrumentation for plant biomarker research. USC will use the funding to purchase a gas chromatography mass spectrometer and isotope ratio mass spectrometer by May 15, 2023 to support identification, quantification, and isotopic analysis of plant wax biomarkers from geological samples....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) is funding a $216,562 collaborative research project between the University of Southern California (USC) and George Mason University to characterize hydroclimate changes over Western North America and Europe in response to the global warmth of the Middle Miocene period (around 15 million years ago). The project aims to understand how water availability may change in a warming climate by investigating...
This Project Grant award of $172,793 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support a collaborative research project. The goal is to study a geological core sample from the U.S. Midwest that provides a record of the dramatic climate transition from a glacial "icehouse" period to a severe "hothouse" period approximately 300 million years ago, culminating in the largest mass extinction...
