This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to resolve uncertainty in past radiocarbon (delta-14C) spikes recorded in tree rings. The $185,538 award, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027, will use field and model-based experiments to evaluate how different tree species and locations take up and store atmospheric carbon. This research aims to create an upper limit on extreme...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,199,429 Project Grant to the University of California Irvine under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to acquire a mini carbon dating system (MICADAS) for climate change and air quality research. The three-year award, made on September 1, 2021 and concluding on August 31, 2024, will support the purchase of a MICADAS instrument to enable precise radiocarbon measurements that can provide insights about atmospheric dynamics and carbon cycling. As...
This three-year, $1.28 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the acquisition of a Mini Carbon Dating System (MICADAS) to support multi-millennial, multi-user carbon-14 dating applications at the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR). The MICADAS instrument and associated sample preparation equipment will maximize throughput of precise, small-sample radiocarbon measurements from tree-rings and other...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $429,227, supports a collaborative research project to resolve uncertainty in past delta-14C spikes from tree rings. The goal is to improve estimates of the magnitude of past solar energetic particle events, which is critical for safeguarding space-based infrastructure from harmful cosmic events. The project team, led by Northern Arizona University, will use field-based experiments...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences totals $345,538 to develop a high-throughput/high-sensitivity, in situ 14C extraction line for use in U.S. earth sciences. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the grant will support basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences through the expansion of knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the Trustees of Columbia University in New York will receive...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $202,212 to the West Virginia University Research Corporation will fund a collaborative research project titled "Resolving Uncertainty in Past Delta-14C Spikes from Tree Rings." The primary objective of this 3-year project is to use field and model-based experiments to better understand how different tree species and locations impact the uptake and storage of carbon in tree rings, which...
The National Science Foundation awarded Cornell College a $141,930 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2024. The grant will support collaborative research to evaluate the origins of multidecadal variability in late Holocene Indian summer monsoon rainfall in Nepal. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system, the Geosciences...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $284,622 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York for the project "Collaborative Research: Advanced Calibration of a Carbonate Ion Proxy". The objective is to test and calibrate a rapid, inexpensive method for estimating past seawater carbonate ion concentration, which is important for understanding the role of ocean chemistry in historical atmospheric...
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...
