- This $201,294 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into carbon cycle feedbacks during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. The grantee, Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will generate new records of ocean chemistry and develop novel modeling strategies to quantify global carbon cycle responses during this past period of warming. A postdoctoral researcher at UC Santa Cruz and undergraduate interns from UC...
- This $169,869 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of an intermediate complexity Earth system model to simulate the cycling of carbon dioxide and methane between vegetation, soils, the atmosphere, and oceans during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, approximately 56 million years ago. The Regents of the University of California at Riverside will couple representations of the terrestrial and marine carbon cycles...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences program provides $150,602 to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to conduct collaborative research on changes in the carbon cycle between the Earth, ocean, and atmosphere over geological timescales. The researchers will use radiocarbon dating of microfossil shells to determine if the deep Indian Ocean stored substantial amounts of carbon during the last ice age, which could have affected past global...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year Project Grant of $174,000 to researchers at the California Institute of Technology to develop a new technique for determining eruption timescales applied to Large Igneous Provinces and climatic events over Earth's history. The grant is part of the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Researchers will receive funding from...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $508,160 in funding to Rutgers, The State University to conduct collaborative research on long-term changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels during past warm periods. The project aims to reconstruct the movement of the Southern Westerly Winds and evaluate its impact on the Southern Ocean's biological carbon pump and atmospheric CO2 concentrations over the last 900,000 years. The...
- 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...

The research will develop novel isotope proxies to understand the role of land plant evolution on organic carbon burial, atmospheric carbon dioxide,...
- This $163,915 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project investigating changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene, a warm period approximately 3 million years ago. The primary objectives are to quantify the marine carbon response to temperature-sensitive mechanisms within the ocean, with the goal of better predicting carbon storage during future climate warming. The...
- This $632,314 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project led by the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project aims to provide a better understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes driving carbon cycling in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Using a combination of ocean models, autonomous observations, and satellite data, the project will characterize...
- 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...
