The "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEOPATHS:GO: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH STUDENT EXPERIENCES ABOARD SHIPS (STEMSEAS)" project aims to increase the number and diversity of students pursuing degrees and careers in the geosciences. The project will provide short...
Oregon State University was awarded a $680,529 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will fund research from August 2021 through July 2024 to study the environmental consequences of expanded recruitment of an ecosystem engineer on a hypoxia-influenced continental shelf. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated systems through atmospheric,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award for $349,455 will support research to improve understanding of seafloor spreading and volcanic activity at the Endeavour segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The project will deploy additional seafloor seismometers to enhance an existing cabled observatory network, allowing for better monitoring and analysis of precursory earthquakes associated with impending seafloor "diking" events where new...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $224,956 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the IUP Research Institute at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEOPATHS:GO: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH STUDENT EXPERIENCES ABOARD SHIPS (STEMSEAS) project aims to increase the number and diversity of students pursuing degrees and careers in the geosciences. The project will provide undergraduate students from across the U.S.,...
This federal Project Grant award of $289,578 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: GEOPATHS:GO: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH STUDENT EXPERIENCES ABOARD SHIPS (STEMSEAS)" project. The goal of this 4-year project is to increase the number and diversity of students pursuing degrees and careers in the geosciences by providing undergraduate students, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM) a $843,830 Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The goal of this 2-year award is to develop strategies for creating more inclusive pathways into geoscience careers, particularly targeting underserved youth.
The "Connecting Opportunities for Research Experiences (CORE) in the Geosciences" project will leverage SMM's expertise in STEM education and community engagement through...
This $742,863 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) is funding collaborative research to decipher the metabolic, functional, and taxonomic interactions that occur over the life cycle of phytoplankton blooms in a dynamic coastal ecosystem. The research team, led by the University of Washington, is analyzing a unique set of samples and data collected in 2021-2022 to investigate how environmental factors and cell-cell interactions control...
