This $304,716 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort between U.S. and U.K. institutions to study the effects of large igneous province volcanism on climate and environmental recovery. The University of California, Davis is the primary grantee, with no planned sub-awards. The project aims to develop high-resolution records of volcanism, climate, and weathering, as well as coupling models of mantle geodynamics, magma transport, and outgassing, in order to understand the processes that shape climate and biotic recovery from major carbon cycle perturbations driven by large igneous province events. The research will leverage three key natural laboratory case studies: the Columbia River Basalts, the North Atlantic Igneous Province, and the Siberian Traps. The award period is from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2028.
