This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) project grant award of $276,830 provides funding to the University of Arizona to revise the timeline for population history and monumental construction in an archaeological context. The project will systematically redate wood and charcoal samples from archaeological sites using new tree-ring dating and radiocarbon calibration techniques to achieve high-precision, near-annual dating. The scientific...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences grant award, under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $221,804 to the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR) from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2025. The funding supports the LTRR's dendrochronological research, which utilizes tree-ring analysis to provide highly precise dating and chronology-building for archaeological sites and contexts. This...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $321,936 to Texas A&M University supports archaeological research investigating early human adaptation and ecological patterns in a high-altitude region. The key activities and products under this 3-year project include: Constructing detailed radiocarbon records of occupation at multiple archaeological sites to determine patterns of human settlement over millennia and the...
The University of Arizona was awarded a two-year, $143,148 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to support the COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: OPENDENDRO - ADVANCED OPEN-SOURCE TOOLS FOR PALEOENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTION project. The grant was awarded on June 1, 2021 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Through this...
The University of Arizona was awarded a $471,704 project grant from the National Science Foundation to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--HIGH-RESOLUTION RECONSTRUCTION OF LAST MILLENNIUM NORTH AMERICAN ARCTIC TEMPERATURES USING QUANTITATIVE WOOD ANATOMY." The grant was awarded on August 1, 2021 under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050) and will be completed by July 31, 2024. Through this funding, researchers at the University of Arizona will work to...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $191,700 to Arizona State University (ASU) to investigate changes in prehistoric human foraging, mobility patterns, and population dynamics in response to environmental change during the later Pleistocene. The research aims to provide broader context to occupations in a coastal region by comparing new archaeological data analyses to detailed models of the...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $800,670 will support research to extend tree-ring based reconstructions of Atlantic Gulf Basin hydroclimate over the Common Era. Led by the University of Arizona with completion expected by June 2025, the project aims to collect old-growth bald cypress and longleaf pine samples from trees harvested in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These extended tree-ring chronologies will be used to develop regional and seasonal hydroclimate...
This $203,991 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs' Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078) will fund research tracking divergent warming and tree growth patterns at Arctic treeline forests through February 2025. The University of Arizona will leverage existing tree ring data and assess current hypotheses for divergence between temperature variability and growth rates observed in boreal forests since the mid-20th century. Researchers will use...
This Project Grant award of $162,477 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports research investigating long-term cultural burning practices and social-ecological relationships in high-elevation ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. The primary objectives are to conduct archaeological surveys, interpret historical subsistence and burning patterns, and use computational modeling to evaluate how human-environment interactions...
