The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research support...
- The Trustees of Indiana University were awarded a $298,510 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund a collaborative research project titled "Integrating Tectonics, Surface Processes and Paleobiodiversity Using Numerical and Observational Approaches" from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The research aims to strengthen fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through supporting basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences awarded $354,194 to Indiana University on August 15, 2025, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate grassland-shrubland transitions in Quaternary New Mexico. The project, scheduled for completion by July 31, 2028, will analyze geochemical data preserved in ancient soils to determine whether aridity, temperature, fire, and other environmental factors drove historical shifts between...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $449,290 project grant to Indiana University for collaborative research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEMT: BRIDGING MULTIPLE TIME SCALES OF EROSION AND ROCK UPLIFT IN TAIWAN." The grant period runs from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The research will be conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated systems...
- Federal Grant Award Summary Indiana University received a $263,663 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences (CFDA 47.050 - Geosciences) effective September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. This collaborative research initiative evaluates the impacts of toxic dust emissions from the Great Salt Lake on agricultural and ecosystem health. The project delivers scientific research products examining how heavy metal contamination—particularly arsenic and lead...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $338,559 to the University of Arkansas will fund a research project titled "Loops in Coastal Channel Networks: A Theoretical, Experimental, and Field-Based Investigation of their Morphodynamic Stability." The project aims to explore the stability of channel loops found in river delta networks, which existing theory suggests should be unstable. The research will use a three-pronged...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $245,526 Project Grant to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to conduct collaborative research on unraveling the controls on the origin and environmental functioning of oxbow lakes. This project under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to evaluate how the initial geometry of meander cutoffs in the West Fork White River in Indiana determines the likelihood of oxbow formation. The research will employ field data collection, numerical modeling, and partnerships with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to estimate pollutant storage within oxbows. Additionally, the project will facilitate experiential learning opportunities for local students through collaborations with the Indy Water Connection Camp and the Williams Summer Science Program. The award period is from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026.
