The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) received a three-year, $298,200 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research studying carbon injection and silicate weathering feedback during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. Through May 2023 to April 2026, Penn State will quantify carbon dioxide addition to the ocean-atmosphere system during this ancient warming event and model how the Earth system responded, including rates and mechanisms. Researchers will utilize calcium isotope records to examine temporal evolution of bottom water calcite saturation over the recovery interval, providing insight into the silicate weathering response and carbon cycle dynamics. Complementary reactive transport and intermediate complexity Earth system modeling will elucidate carbon input amounts and weathering feedback. This research aims to better understand how the Earth system responds to climatic perturbations and compare to modern climate change. Broader impacts include supporting graduate and undergraduate researchers and developing educational YouTube videos.
