This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences provides $384,286 to President And Fellows Of Harvard College for collaborative research titled "ILLUMINATING THE CENOZOIC ALKENONE PCO2 RECORD." The research aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, as outlined in the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the funding will support...
This $442,114 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to determine 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 research will reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem and evaluate how these changes affected carbonate production and preservation at the seafloor. Key objectives include...
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...
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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $374,314 to Yale University to investigate changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago, as an analog for understanding the ocean's response to modern climate warming. The researchers will use data and models to quantify the impacts of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, such as circulation changes and biological processes,...
This $303,642 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research to quantify global carbon cycle feedbacks during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a past period of global warming. Led by the University of California Santa Cruz, the research team will measure how volcanism contributed to atmospheric carbon dioxide rise during this event and constrain total carbon emissions through new ocean acidification records. They will also develop novel carbon cycle modeling to compare...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $851,808 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a project grant running from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant will support research analyzing tectonic degassing as a potential driver of the mid-Miocene climate transition approximately 14 million years ago, when the Earth experienced sustained cooling. Key products include new biomarker-based sea surface...
This $226,865 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program supports the collection of high-resolution carbon isotope data on GO-SHIP cruises in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The objective is to constrain ocean carbon uptake and storage by measuring the ratio of carbon-13 to carbon-12 (13C/12C) in dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) using a new seagoing DIC extraction system coupled with a laser spectrometer. The data will be compared to prior...
This two-year, $329,660 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research into Cretaceous-era diatom paleobiology and survivability through major environmental perturbations. Principal Investigator Dr. Coenen will study laminated sediments to better understand early Cretaceous climate variability and diatom taxonomy at Ocean Drilling Project Site 693. This includes evaluating whether modern ecological...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $248,863 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for research entitled "Collaborative Research: Ear Climate - Pairing Calcium and Clumped Isotopes to Inform Carbon Cycle and Climate Dynamics at the Onset of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age." The research will develop novel isotope proxies to understand the role of land plant evolution on organic carbon burial, atmospheric carbon dioxide,...
