Project Grant 2317026
- This Project Grant award for $382,137 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Minnesota to investigate the composition and iron oxidation state of the minerals lawsonite and epidote in subducted oceanic crust. The research aims to understand the controls on the conditions and fluid sources that influence mineral composition and iron chemistry in these hydrous minerals as oceanic plates subduct and transform at depth. Two...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $100,000.00 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct collaborative research on the oxidation of planetary mantles and its relation to planetary habitability. The key objectives are to study how iron redox reactions in magma oceans during the early formation of rocky planets, like Earth, can lead to...

This project delivers high-pressure and high-temperature laboratory experiments designed to simulate magma formation processes in Earth's mantle, with a specific focus on determining the ferric/ferrous iron...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota were awarded a three-year, $299,017 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research exploring new roles for reactive oxygen species in mediating carbon fluxes at the terrestrial-aquatic interface. The research aims to strengthen fundamental understanding of the integrated Earth system by expanding knowledge of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences processes....
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program award, CFDA 47.050, provides $437,806 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota, Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, to conduct collaborative research on the molecular speciation of trace elements like iron, copper, zinc, and manganese in the Southern Ocean and Antarctic continental shelf. The research aims to identify the organic ligands that bind to these biologically essential metals, and determine their sources and...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $234,181 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will support collaborative research to determine the local melt structure and fluid and melt viscosity of albite, basaltic melts, and aqueous fluids with dissolved albite under high pressures and temperatures relevant to Earth's interior. Researchers will combine experimentally derived...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a three-year, $343,273 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant funds a collaborative research project titled "Sustainable Land and Water Resources - A Community Based Participatory Research Experience for Undergraduates." The project aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research and provide...
- This National Science Foundation project grant of $249,976 supports research at Arizona State University from August 2022 through July 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund collaborative research between experimental mineral physics and computational geodynamics to advance understanding of deep Earth processes through three key pieces. First, dynamic compression experiments will measure the spin state and structure of dense iron-bearing silicate melts. Second,...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a two-year, $228,130 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support research entitled "Untangling the Roles of Viscous, Elastic, and Plastic Deformation in Slab Bending." This grant was awarded under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of Earth's integrated system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $562,895.00 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct collaborative research on the role of the "colloidal shunt" in mediating interactions between the ocean's iron and carbon cycles. The research aims to better characterize the mechanisms and linkages between dissolved organic carbon, iron-binding organic ligands, and the formation of particulate iron in the ocean....
The Regents of the University of Minnesota, through its Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, received a $286,561 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award, entitled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GLOW: IRON REDOX REACTIONS IN MAGMA OCEANS AND DIFFERENTIATION OF ROCKY PLANETS," will support experiments to study how planets become habitable through mantle oxidation during the "magma ocean" stage of formation. The research will examine silicate-metal reactions at high pressures and temperatures using peridotite glass samples in laser-heated diamond anvil cells, with the results incorporated into a thermodynamic model to predict planetary mantle oxidation and habitability. This project aims to advance fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system and its applicability to understanding exoplanet formation and habitability, aligning with the NSF Geosciences program's mission. The award period runs from August 15, 2023 to July 31, 2026.
