Project Grant 2346401
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a three-year collaborative research project to investigate the Late Ordovician mass extinction event. The $310,891 grant, awarded on August 1, 2024, will support field investigations on Anticosti Island, Canada, as well as global phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses of fossil organisms such as crinoids and trilobites. The research aims to document patterns of extinction, biogeographic change,...
- 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 $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...
- 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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $457,737 to the California Academy of Sciences to conduct collaborative research on modeling marine paleocommunity dynamics across the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event. The project aims to reconstruct ancient marine ecosystem food webs and test uniformitarian assumptions underlying paleo-food web reconstruction. The research involves analyzing fossil specimens from museum...
- This federal Project Grant award of $143,674 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) will fund collaborative research to examine how terrestrial ecosystems rebuilt following the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction event approximately 66 million years ago. The research team from the College of Charleston will collect and analyze fossil, geochemical, and environmental data from three sites in the western United States to document the patterns...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $429,298 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to George Mason University to conduct collaborative research on the Devonian period. The funded work seeks to understand the timing, causes, and consequences of Devonian mass extinctions, and how they can be identified in rocks across North America, Bolivia, and Western Australia. This integrated study will provide a new framework for understanding ocean oxygen loss and its impact on...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $207,000 Project Grant to support research titled "Biodiversity and a High-Resolution Recovery of Fossil Plant-Insect Associations Across the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary" from March 1, 2021 through February 29, 2024. This award falls under the NSF's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which aims to promote progress in the biological sciences and strengthen the national scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a 3-year, $600,000 Project Grant to the Field Museum of Natural History, a non-profit research institution in Chicago, IL, to investigate ecosystem recovery from the Permo-Triassic mass extinction event. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Synthesizing geochronologic age controls and precisely identifying the Permo-Triassic boundary in the Karoo Basin of South Africa. Analyzing shifts...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to develop an integrated framework for understanding the Late Devonian mass extinctions and associated changes in ocean chemistry and climate. The $231,421 award to Texas A&M University aims to: Establish a new geologic framework linking Late Devonian mass extinctions to the formation of epeiric black shale deposits across North and South America using...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program awarded a $274,958 project grant to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to investigate the first mass extinction event in the history of life - the Late Ordovician mass extinction. The research team will document patterns of extinction, biogeographic change, and morphological evolution across this mass extinction event at local and global scales by combining field-based geological research with global datasets of fossil occurrences and morphology, with a focus on crinoids and trilobites. The project will train students in research and public outreach, develop a fossil identification guide, geological walking tour, and public talks on Anticosti Island, Canada to contribute to local tourism and education. Research outcomes will further public education and benefit the research community through dissemination of phylogenetic, morphologic, and biogeographic datasets. The award period is from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027.
