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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $169,618 Project Grant to the University of Alabama, Office for Sponsored Programs Division, to conduct collaborative research on the rise of mammals following the K/Pg mass extinction event 66 million years ago. The funding will support a multidisciplinary team of geologists and paleontologists to generate and integrate critical records of fossil mammals and climate proxies across eastern Montana. The research aims to...
The University of Florida received a three-year $185,386 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of mammals in the first seven million years following the K-Pg mass extinction. The research team will generate and integrate fossil mammal and climate proxy records across eastern Montana to provide a detailed view of continental ecosystem changes from the end-Cretaceous...
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. Through this award, the University will build a collaborative research program in eastern Montana spanning the first seven million years after the K-Pg mass extinction. A team of geologists and paleontologists will...
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...
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. The $234,197 award, with a project period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2028, will fund paleontological and geochemical analyses of fossil collections and new field...
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...
The Colorado Museum of Natural History, doing business as the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, received a $1,282,009 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on how terrestrial ecosystems rebuilt following the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event approximately 66 million years ago. The research will involve extensive paleontological and geochemical analyses of existing fossil collections and new field...
This $419,234 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity over long timescales. Key objectives include: Analyzing changes in mammal functional diversity, floral composition, and abiotic factors like temperature before, during, and after the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) climate event in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. This will elucidate the...
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...
