The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $323,234 Project Grant to Claremont McKenna College under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The project, titled "MCA PILOT PUI: PROXY-MODEL COMPARISON USING CARBON ISOTOPES FROM ANNUALLY BANDED MARINE CALCIFIERS AND OCEAN CIRCULATION INVERSE MODELS TO EVALUATE COASTAL CARBON CYCLE PROCESSES," will use data from proxy archives to perform a model-proxy...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $103,517 will support research reconstructing bottom water temperatures from bivalves on the continental shelf off the east coast of the United States from approximately 5,000 years ago to present. The award was made on August 1, 2022 to The University of Southern Mississippi under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of integrated Earth system processes. Researchers will analyze isotope ratios in living and fossil...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) totaling $103,519 will support collaborative research by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from August 2022 to July 2025 to reconstruct bottom water temperatures on the Middle Atlantic continental shelf over the past 5,000 years using living and fossil shells of Atlantic surfclams and ocean quahogs. The grant aims to develop spatial-temporal reconstructions of bottom water temperatures to further...
The Trustees of Grinnell College received a $118,709 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences Geobiology and Low-Temperature Geochemistry Program and Marine Geology and Geophysics Program, under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The research project seeks to develop a 1,000-year record of mercury (Hg) concentrations preserved in long-lived mollusk shells collected from the Gulf of Maine. This record will be paired with other climate proxy...
This $711,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to analyze thirty years of foraminiferal assemblages from the Santa Barbara Basin. The grantee will create a record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the basin and connect the results to modern oceanographic measurements and older seafloor sediments. This will improve understanding of how climate change has...
This $358,499 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to understand the impact of warming on the structure and function of marine communities in the Northwest Atlantic Shelf region, including the Gulf of Maine and Mid-Atlantic Bight. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of Sponsored Research, will characterize the composition and features of plankton and fish...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $144,969 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to produce a continuous, annually resolved, and millennial-length marine climate history of the Northeast Pacific Ocean region. The project will utilize paleoclimate proxies from bivalve mollusks, tree-ring chronologies, and tropical coral growth-increment records to reconstruct sea surface temperatures and climate variability in...
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...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $561,018 project grant to the University of South Carolina under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research examining three decades of foraminiferal assemblages in the Santa Barbara Basin. Over the three-year period from July 2022 to June 2025, the University will create a thirty-year record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the Santa Barbara Basin, California....
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) award of $738,152 will fund a 5-year project to study how temperature affects the interactions between predatory crabs and their blue mussel prey in the rapidly warming Gulf of Maine. The project will integrate laboratory experiments measuring the physiology of the focal species with mesocosm experiments quantifying temperature-dependent predation, intraguild predation, and competition. This data will then be used to...
