This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $1,086,964 provides funding to Brown University from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 to develop improved reconstructions of global temperatures during the Miocene climate transition approximately 14 million years ago. The award is made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the university...
This $683,266 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reconstruct global ice volume and bottom water temperature over the past 1-3 million years. The project at Brown University will analyze multiple climate proxies, including biomarkers and stable isotopes, using machine learning algorithms to resolve global ice volume and ocean temperature signals. The key objectives are to assess the role of CO2 and ice albedo in global...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $374,314 to Yale University to investigate changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago, as an analog for understanding the ocean's response to modern climate warming. The researchers will use data and models to quantify the impacts of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, such as circulation changes and biological processes,...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $851,808 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a project grant running from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant will support research analyzing tectonic degassing as a potential driver of the mid-Miocene climate transition approximately 14 million years ago, when the Earth experienced sustained cooling. Key products include new biomarker-based sea surface...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to trace Pacific Ocean circulation and ventilation during the warm Pliocene epoch. The $387,909 award, made on August 15, 2024, will fund the generation of paleoceanographic records to test models suggesting a strong overturning circulation in the North Pacific during this period. The research will examine redox, temperature, and productivity proxies in...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $952,374 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to conduct research on changes in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) during the last deglaciation. The project aims to quantify AMOC changes by combining data from deep-sea sediments, deep-sea corals, and computer models of ocean circulation. The research will yield insights into the processes leading to rapid...
This $163,915 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project investigating changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene, a warm period approximately 3 million years ago. The primary objectives are to quantify the marine carbon response to temperature-sensitive mechanisms within the ocean, with the goal of better predicting carbon storage during future climate warming. The...
This $106,572 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program supports research to improve climate reconstructions and quantify the preservation of organic biomarkers in marine sediments. The primary awardee, President and Fellows of Middlebury College, will employ a latitudinal transect of existing sediment cores from the Line Islands region of the equatorial Pacific to investigate how variations in bottom water oxygen conditions...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $709,875 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027 to reconstruct intermediate and deep water formation in the North Pacific over the past 25,000 years. The project will generate new stable isotope and trace element data from benthic foraminifera to calculate the air-sea component of carbon-13 (δ13Cas), a promising water mass tracer for...
This three-year, $473,907 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences will support research into quantifying the exchange processes between the ocean surface boundary layer and interior at submesoscales. Submesoscale interactions between currents, waves, and turbulence can significantly impact biogeochemistry and climate through entrainment and subduction of tracers between layers. The awardee, Brown University, will conduct numerical simulations and develop new...
