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 Arizona received a three-year, $639,466 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support research to develop a millennial-length history of climate variability in the northeast Pacific Ocean region using paleoclimate proxies from growth increments in the marine bivalve Pacific geoduck and tree-ring chronologies. The research aims to reconstruct...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $103,517 will support research reconstructing bottom water temperatures from bivalves on the continental shelf off the east coast of the United States from approximately 5,000 years ago to present. The award was made on August 1, 2022 to The University of Southern Mississippi under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes. Researchers will analyze isotope ratios in living and fossil...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to trace Pacific Ocean circulation and ventilation during the warm Pliocene epoch. The $387,909 award, made on August 15, 2024, will fund the generation of paleoceanographic records to test models suggesting a strong overturning circulation in the North Pacific during this period. The research will examine redox, temperature, and productivity proxies in...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,078,024 will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium through May 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Michigan will produce new paleoclimate records of sea surface temperature using the geochemistry of long-lived corals from the tropical North Atlantic and western Indian Ocean....
This Project Grant award of $599,974 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project by the University of Washington to reconstruct the history of ocean ventilation and circulation in the Northeast Pacific over the past 23,000 years. The key objectives are to improve understanding of the marine carbon cycle and enhance the utility of radiocarbon dating for marine sedimentary records. The project will leverage sediment cores and apply genomic...
This $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how the...
This $409,233 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to connect seasonal to millennial timescales through a new 4D variational framework for assimilating paleoclimate proxy data. The key products and services to be delivered include: Developing and implementing a new data assimilation approach to integrate high-resolution (monthly to decadal) paleoclimate proxies, such as coral records and sediment...
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...
