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...
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...
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 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 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 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 (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $200,000 to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (SUNY ESF) to conduct research on how changes in seawater carbonate chemistry, such as those caused by ocean acidification, impact shell formation in tropical marine bivalves. The 2-year project will characterize the relationships between various carbonate system parameters and shell formation processes in...
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 $599,999 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop an affordable and scalable cyber-infrastructure for reconstructing the 3D morphology of foraminifera shells from 2D microscope images. The infrastructure will leverage robotic imaging devices and artificial intelligence to create an accessible platform for scientists, students, and citizen scientists to study these tiny marine organisms, which have a rich fossil record....
