- The National Science Foundation awarded a two-year, $180,000 Project Grant to Zoe T. Kulik under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the depositional history and paleobiological implications of a rare dicynodont bonebed in Tanzania. Kulik will characterize the bonebed's taphonomy using sedimentology, petrography, trace element analysis, and hard tissue histology to reconstruct the life history and preservation of dicynodonts. This includes assessing temporal and spatial...
- This $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports postdoctoral research examining taxon-specific responses to aridity gradients in small mammals over time and across space in the northwestern Great Basin of the United States. The awardee will analyze small mammal bones deposited in caves over the past 16,000 years to test hypotheses about species sensitivity to climate drying and whether ongoing changes in climate or land use pose a...
- Dr. Alliya Akhtar has been awarded a two-year, $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support Dr. Akhtar's research examining paleoclimatic influences on mammalian dietary ecology and trophic positioning in mainland Southeast Asia from the late Pleistocene to mid-Holocene periods. Specifically, the grant will fund three key research activities. First, Dr. Akhtar will explore the utility of...
