The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a $419,135 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund the development of a robust temporal framework for the Paleoproterozoic crash of atmospheric oxygen from June 2021 through May 2024. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This $439,120 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The project aims to gather paleomagnetic and mineral age data from rock samples in Idaho and Montana to test hypotheses about the timing and origin of mountain building events in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Pacific Northwest region. This includes investigating whether...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $408,180 project grant to the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The grant will fund research to better understand intraplate orogenesis through studying metamorphosed Mesoproterozoic supracrustal rocks in the Picuris Mountains of New Mexico. The principal investigator and students will conduct field work, construct pressure-temperature-deformation-time paths,...
The University of Wisconsin-Madison received a three-year, $326,446 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research from August 2021 through July 2024 to identify the role of dissolved organic matter composition in complete and partial photooxidation in diverse lakes. As part of the Geosciences program's goal to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research, this...
The University of Washington received a three-year, two hundred thirty-three thousand three hundred seventeen dollar Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) beginning August 1, 2023.
