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 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 $272,065 Project Grant to the University of Alabama under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research on planktic foraminifera from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The grant will fund a study using electron backscatter diffraction and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry to evaluate changes in biomineral structure, organic matter distribution, and relative nitrogen content of foraminifera...
This $269,580 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at Oregon State University to improve paleoclimate reconstruction in high-latitude regions. The university will develop new and enhanced trace element to calcium paleoproxies for understudied temperate to polar planktic foraminiferal species found in the Northern California Current region. Researchers will establish magnesium to calcium-temperature and sodium to calcium-salinity...
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 $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how 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...
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...
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 $172,778 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to test climate model predictions of hydrologic change in the tropical Atlantic during a past warm period. Specifically, the awardee, Utah State University, will geochemically analyze oxygen isotopes and magnesium-to-calcium ratios in planktonic foraminifera from deep-sea sediment cores at several sites, including Ocean Drilling Project Site...
