This two-year, $267,912 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve paleoclimate proxy records in high-latitude regions. The principal investigator, George Mason University, will develop new and refine existing trace element to calcium ratio paleoproxies using planktic foraminifera species from the Northern California Current region. The research aims to establish temperature and salinity calibration relationships,...
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...
This two-year, $162,846 project grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Polar Programs will fund research to improve paleoclimate reconstructions from planktic foraminifera in the polar North Atlantic. The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) will develop new analytical techniques to better interpret climate signals recorded in the shells of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a species of foraminifera abundant in high-latitude sediments....
This three-year, $232,034 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to improve reconstructions of past sea surface temperatures. The Ohio State University will work to test and refine approaches for extracting seasonal and mean annual temperature signals from geochemical proxies of past sea surface temperatures. They will also produce new paired foraminifera-magnesium/calcium and alkenone derived sea...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $144,969 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to produce a continuous, annually resolved, and millennial-length marine climate history of the Northeast Pacific Ocean region. The project will utilize paleoclimate proxies from bivalve mollusks, tree-ring chronologies, and tropical coral growth-increment records to reconstruct sea surface temperatures and climate variability in...
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 $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 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 National Science Foundation Project Grant of $614,058 will fund research at San Diego State University from September 2022 to August 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will support efforts to improve reconstructions of past sea surface temperatures through developing methods to extract seasonal and mean annual temperature signals from geochemical proxies. Researchers will test approaches for correcting seasonal biases in proxy records against climate model...
