The funding will support a collaborative research project to integrate fluorspar dating and geophysical models to constrain the timing and mechanisms of the collapse of the Cordillera mountain range in...
The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Stony Brook University, received a $656,302 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) to study the impact of glacial melt on seafloor mineral transformations and associated impacts on ocean chemistry in Arctic fjords. The 3-year project aims to collect and analyze sediment samples from Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, and conduct laboratory studies to understand the specific...
The Stony Brook University Research Foundation received a three-year, $201,164 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support research integrating tectonics, surface processes and paleobiodiversity using numerical and observational approaches. The grant was awarded June 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the geosciences through basic research of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the funding will support...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,601 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) at the Geneseo campus. The grant, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, supports collaborative research to develop an integrated understanding of the Late Devonian Earth system, with a focus on ocean-climate-biosphere interactions during this critical period in Earth's history. Key objectives include: 1)...
The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York received a $223,744 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research exploring dislocation structures with conventional electron backscatter diffraction through August 31, 2023. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
The University of Massachusetts received a $371,071 project grant award from the National Science Foundation on April 1, 2021 to support research examining the role of strike-slip fault interaction on long-term slip rates. The three-year award, made under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund basic research exploring integrated earth system processes through studying the effects of interacting strike-slip faults on slip accumulation over time. The Geosciences program aims to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $175,666 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The funding will support collaborative research examining the role of the Porcupine Fault System in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. This study involves a new partnership between early career and senior academic researchers, federal and state/territory geoscientists, and undergraduate/graduate students across four U.S. institutions and government research agencies in the U.S. and Canada. The research aims to further understanding of tectonic and paleogeographic models for the circum-Arctic, northern Pacific, and northern North American Cordillera, while also providing insights on the dynamics and chronology of crustal deformation in polyphase brittle fault systems. The project will generate research and training opportunities, as well as educational and public outreach activities, including an informational pamphlet distributed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
