The University of Southern California will receive $240,634 from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The research aims to illuminate fundamental climate processes that influenced terrestrial ecology in western Pangea during Earth's previous icehouse period between 304-280 million years ago. Researchers will identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in...
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 $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....
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...
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 $156,669 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to examine the impacts of the evolution of land plants on Earth's landscapes, climate, and biogeochemical cycles. The research team from the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside) is conducting field, laboratory, and modeling studies focused on the Canadian Arctic Archipelago to reconstruct ecological and environmental...
This $1,006,501 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to understand the processes that shape climate and biotic recovery following major carbon cycle perturbations driven by large igneous province volcanism. The project aims to develop high-resolution records of volcanism, climate, and weathering, and to integrate these with models of mantle geodynamics, magma transport, and outgassing....
This $162,061 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Geosciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) to The Trustees of Princeton University to conduct a collaborative, multi-disciplinary research effort. The project aims to investigate the processes that shape climate and biotic recovery following major carbon cycle perturbations caused by large igneous province volcanism events. Key objectives include developing high-resolution records of volcanism and...
This $372,195 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity using a high-resolution fossil record and novel AI workflows. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award, which began on November 1, 2024, include: Generating 3D datasets from micro-CT scans of mammalian fossils to characterize functional...
This $419,234 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity over long timescales. Key objectives include: Analyzing changes in mammal functional diversity, floral composition, and abiotic factors like temperature before, during, and after the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) climate event in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. This will elucidate the...
