The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $442,114 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin. The grant will support collaborative research to determine changes in pelagic ecosystem function and their impact on the carbon cycle from the Eocene to the Oligocene epochs (56-33.9 million years ago). The research aims to reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem and evaluate how these changes affected...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $533,300 provides funding from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2026 to the University of Texas at Austin for research investigating links between physical surface processes, ocean oxygenation, and organic carbon burial during the establishment of the South Atlantic Ocean from 150-100 million years ago. The goal is to better understand how the opening of a major oceanic gateway affected depositional responses to local basin settings,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $317,996 to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on the mechanisms of bioturbation and ecosystem engineering by benthic infauna, or bottom-dwelling organisms, in marine sediments. The project aims to improve the understanding of how the physical and chemical properties of sediments mediate the burrowing activities of these organisms and the resulting impacts on sediment...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $167,851 project grant to the University of Texas at Austin under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "Collaborative Research: The Role of Subducting Seamounts in Fault Stability and Slip Behavior Throughout the Seismic Cycle." The two-year award beginning September 1, 2021 will support basic research into understanding the integrated Earth system through studying the influence of underwater volcanoes on fault behavior and...
This $236,732 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project to investigate the early stages of seafloor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean. The project seeks to understand how the central Atlantic Ocean formed during the rifting of the Pangaea supercontinent approximately 190 million years ago. The research team, led by Louisiana State University, will conduct a 2D/3D seismic survey and analysis to...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $326,726 Project Grant to the California Institute of Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop a theoretical framework for abyssal ocean circulation. Over a three-year period from February 2022 through January 2025, the awardee will build a hierarchy of dynamical models exploring the interaction between bottom-intensified mixing over slopes and interior abyssal flows and stratification. The models...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Brigham Young University (BYU) in the amount of $297,566 on May 1, 2024. The grant supports a 3-year project to study the generation of internal waves in the ocean caused by different types of submarine ridges using laboratory experiments and computer simulations. The project aims to fill gaps in the understanding of this phenomenon and provide improved parameterizations of internal...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $227,396 to Colorado State University to conduct collaborative research on analyzing global seismic data to understand and quantify the evolution of ocean wave activity and its impact on Earth systems. The project aims to advance the understanding of long-term observational records of Earth's microseism field, investigate geophysical source processes driving seismic signals generated...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $390,602 provides funding from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025 to advance understanding of oceanic plateau formation through analysis of marine magnetic anomalies and application of machine learning techniques. The award was made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Houston for work to be conducted in Houston, Texas. Specifically, the grantee will compare spatial patterns of magnetic anomalies from three...
