- This Project Grant award, valued at $442,114, was issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin. The objective of the research is to study how the pelagic calcifier communities in the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre evolved from the early Eocene to the early Oligocene, and how those changes impacted carbonate production and burial at the seafloor. The project will generate data from sediment cores collected during...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant award to the University of Texas at Austin provides $175,290 over 3 years starting November 1, 2024 to conduct a novel 2D/3D seismic experiment investigating the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to shed light on the anomalous geology and mantle dynamics that occurred during the first 50 million years after the breakup of the Pangea supercontinent and the formation of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $170,516 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to investigate periodicity patterns in abyssal hill morphology in the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to employ a newly-developed algorithm to detect and quantify any periodic signals embedded within the otherwise random abyssal hill profiles, which could provide insights into mid-ocean ridge dynamics and plate formation processes....
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $398,892 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin for research entitled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: WAS THERE A SHIFT TOWARD SMALL, NON-FOSSILIZING PLANKTON AFTER THE END OF THE CRETACEOUS MASS EXTINCTION?" with a period of performance from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2023. This grant will support basic research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the...
- This $308,515 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to study changes in pelagic ecosystem function and their impact on the carbon cycle from the Eocene to Oligocene periods (56-33.9 million years ago). The project aims to reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem and determine how these changes affected carbonate production and preservation during a time of...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $207,480.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Utah State University (USU). The project aims to construct new records of individual foraminiferal geochemistry and morphology across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a significant paleoclimate event 56 million years ago, using samples from International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1580 located on the Agulhas...
- This Project Grant award of $646,207, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project to investigate mantle dynamics during the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to characterize the evolution of oceanic crust and mantle as the Atlantic Ocean initially formed, using a novel 2D/3D seismic experiment adjacent to the eastern North American margin. The seismic survey will collect data...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to develop an integrated framework for understanding the Late Devonian mass extinctions and associated changes in ocean chemistry and climate. The $231,421 award to Texas A&M University aims to: Establish a new geologic framework linking Late Devonian mass extinctions to the formation of epeiric black shale deposits across North and South America using...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $317,996 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on the mechanisms of bioturbation and ecosystem engineering by benthic infauna (bottom-dwelling organisms) in marine sediments. The project aims to: 1) Examine the relative contributions of infaunal community structure, sediment mechanical properties, and environmental factors to bioturbation rates; 2) Investigate how...
- This Project Grant award for $540,281 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project between U.S. and U.K. scientists to better understand the linkages between the oceanic cycles of iron and carbon. The research aims to characterize the "colloidal shunt" mechanism, whereby dissolved iron forms aggregates with organic carbon to create particulate matter that sinks out of the upper water column. The project will...
