This $192,832 National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences Project Grant supports research at San Jose State University to generate new paleoceanographic records from the late Miocene to early Pliocene periods in the central Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. The records will document ocean surface temperature and biological productivity variability to provide insights into the role of the Southern Ocean in late Miocene climate change. Specifically, the grant will fund the...
The University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) was awarded a $181,080 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal grant program. The grant will fund UCSC's project to decipher the role of the subantarctic South Pacific Ocean in Pleistocene climate evolution using sediment cores recovered from the JOIDES Resolution drilling expedition. UCSC will generate high-resolution climate proxy time series over the past two...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $851,808 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a project grant running from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant will support research analyzing tectonic degassing as a potential driver of the mid-Miocene climate transition approximately 14 million years ago, when the Earth experienced sustained cooling. Key products include new biomarker-based sea surface...
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....
The University of California Santa Cruz will receive $398,673 in funding from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through July 2024 to conduct collaborative research that will illuminate the Cenozoic alkenone pCO2 record. This Project Grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. UC Santa Cruz, doing...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort to investigate ocean circulation and ventilation patterns during the Pliocene epoch, a period of warmer global temperatures. The $387,909 award, which spans from August 2024 to December 2025, will fund the generation of new paleoceanographic records using a multi-proxy approach across several North Pacific Ocean sites. The goal is to test hypotheses about...
The University of California Santa Cruz received a three-year, $395,376 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research into the intensification of the hydrologic cycle during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum period through the completion date of June 30, 2024. As described under the Geosciences program, the funding will support basic research to expand understanding of the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $323,234 Project Grant to Claremont McKenna College under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The project, titled "MCA PILOT PUI: PROXY-MODEL COMPARISON USING CARBON ISOTOPES FROM ANNUALLY BANDED MARINE CALCIFIERS AND OCEAN CIRCULATION INVERSE MODELS TO EVALUATE COASTAL CARBON CYCLE PROCESSES," will use data from proxy archives to perform a model-proxy...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $374,314 to Yale University to investigate changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago, as an analog for understanding the ocean's response to modern climate warming. The researchers will use data and models to quantify the impacts of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, such as circulation changes and biological processes,...
The University of California Santa Cruz received a $320,799 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on July 1, 2021. The project grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) and will support research to reconstruct global ice volumes over the last glacial cycle using models of Bering Strait flooding. The funding will allow UC Santa Cruz to conduct basic research expanding understanding of the integrated Earth system by strengthening...
