The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $212,687 Project Grant to the Smithsonian Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the recovery of terrestrial ecosystems following the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction event. The grant will support extensive paleontological and geochemical analyses of fossil collections and new field data from the Rocky Mountain region to reveal the patterns and timeline of how land-based life rebuilt after...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $518,907 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, Boulder, to conduct collaborative research on how terrestrial ecosystems were rebuilt following the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event approximately 66 million years ago. This research, funded under NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will examine ecological and environmental changes that occurred on land across the K-Pg boundary in the...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $174,000 to study mammals as indicators of ecological recovery following the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support basic research exploring the relationship between topographic diversity and the reestablishment of mammal populations in the aftermath of the extinction. By strengthening understanding of the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.074) will support collaborative research by a team of earth and life scientists on the ecological impacts of the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum (KTM), an extreme global warming event that occurred approximately 95 million years ago. The $300,663 award to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science will fund the generation of comprehensive, open-access databases on terrestrial...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to examine how terrestrial ecosystems were rebuilt following the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction event approximately 66 million years ago.

This federal Project Grant award of $143,674 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) will fund collaborative research to examine how terrestrial ecosystems rebuilt following the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction event approximately 66 million years ago. The research team from the College of Charleston will collect and analyze fossil, geochemical, and environmental data from three sites in the western United States to document the patterns...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $291,498 Project Grant to the University of Oregon under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to examine the ecological and environmental changes that occurred on land across the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/PG) boundary in the Rocky Mountain region. The research will involve extensive paleontological and geochemical analyses of existing fossil collections and new field data to reveal the variability in the timing and pattern of terrestrial ecosystem...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a 3-year, $600,000 Project Grant to the Field Museum of Natural History, a non-profit research institution in Chicago, IL, to investigate ecosystem recovery from the Permo-Triassic mass extinction event. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Synthesizing geochronologic age controls and precisely identifying the Permo-Triassic boundary in the Karoo Basin of South Africa. Analyzing shifts...
Berkeley Geochronology Center will provide collaborative research on mammal evolution after the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event through a $183,887 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Over three years from August 2023 to July 2026, the Center will generate and integrate fossil mammal and climate proxy records across the first seven million years of the Paleocene in eastern Montana. A diverse team of geologists...
This Project Grant award of $457,737 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by the California Academy of Sciences to model marine paleocommunity dynamics across the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event 251 million years ago. The research aims to challenge uniformitarian assumptions in reconstructing ancient ecosystem food webs and test whether post-extinction communities functioned differently from those during...
