- 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...
- This Project Grant award of $390,694 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to explore the ecology and morphology of the Little Dal reef system in northwestern Canada, which contains some of the earliest purported remains of sponges on Earth. The researchers from the University of Washington and Dartmouth College will utilize a multidisciplinary and multiscale approach, including...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $105,745 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Williams College to conduct a collaborative research study on exploring early metazoan reef evolution through a multi-scale approach. The researchers will utilize various methods, including drone-derived models, 3D reconstructions, and isotopic analyses, to improve understanding of the inhabitants and ecology of the nearly one billion-year-old Little Dal reefs in northwestern...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $341,191 will support a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project, titled "Investigating the Microbe-Metabolite Interactions that Govern Bacterial Growth Efficiency in Coral Reefs," aims to uncover the microbial mechanisms driving changes in coral reef ecosystems as they transition from coral-dominated...
- This Project Grant award of $143,870 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project at Lycoming College to study the late Devonian period, approximately 360 million years ago. The project aims to examine the links between environmental extremes, such as glaciation, and vertebrate habitats during this time period by collecting and analyzing data from rock and fossil samples. The research will advance the understanding of...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,601 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) at the Geneseo campus. The grant, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, supports collaborative research to develop an integrated understanding of the Late Devonian Earth system, with a focus on ocean-climate-biosphere interactions during this critical period in Earth's history. Key objectives include: 1)...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $271,558 to Rowan University supports collaborative research investigating the environmental and paleobiological effects of an extreme cold climate period at the end of the Devonian period, approximately 360 million years ago. The research team will collect and analyze data from rock and fossil samples to test the link between environmental extremes and vertebrate habitats during this time. This...
- This Project Grant award of $495,000.00 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program supports research into the microbiome of the coral endosymbiont Symbiodiniaceae, which is critical for understanding and preserving coral reef ecosystems. The project will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the taxonomic and functional diversity of the microbiomes associated with five coral species from Florida's coral reef, using a combination of amplicon...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $539,985 supports research into the stoichiometric trait distribution of the marine microbiome. Funded through the Geosciences program under the Division of Ocean Sciences, the award will quantify the relationship between environmental conditions and the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus ratios in marine microbes. Over three years, the researchers from Colorado State University will characterize the biomass elemental composition of 50 marine...
- This Project Grant award of $519,422.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to investigate ancient rocks at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) and provide new insights into the earliest animals and how they shaped Earth's ecosystems during the terminal Ediacaran period, approximately 550 million years ago. The research team from the University of Missouri System will employ advanced imaging, geochemical analyses, and...
