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 awarded a $104,601 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) at the Geneseo campus. The grant, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, supports collaborative research to develop an integrated understanding of the Late Devonian Earth system, with a focus on ocean-climate-biosphere interactions during this critical period in Earth's history. Key objectives include: 1)...
This Project Grant award of $457,737 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by the California Academy of Sciences to model marine paleocommunity dynamics across the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event 251 million years ago. The research aims to challenge uniformitarian assumptions in reconstructing ancient ecosystem food webs and test whether post-extinction communities functioned differently from those during...
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 award of $172,793 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support a collaborative research project. The goal is to study a geological core sample from the U.S. Midwest that provides a record of the dramatic climate transition from a glacial "icehouse" period to a severe "hothouse" period approximately 300 million years ago, culminating in the largest mass extinction...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to reconstruct climate dynamics during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a major paleoclimate event that occurred 56 million years ago. The $381,740 award to George Mason University will utilize cutting-edge analytical techniques to measure individual foraminifera microfossils from a new sediment record at International Ocean Discovery Program...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $130,076 to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct collaborative research on modeling marine paleocommunity dynamics across the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event, which occurred 251 million years ago. The project aims to reconstruct ancient marine ecosystem food webs and test assumptions about the uniformity of interspecific interactions over...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $586,098 to Texas A&M University to conduct research reconstructing ancient ocean temperatures during the Devonian-Mississippian climate transition. The university will test whether tropical ocean temperatures reached extremely high levels of 95-104 degrees Fahrenheit during the time of early animals. It will examine the role of rapid cooling in triggering biotic crises and explore...
This $116,693 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to illuminate fundamental climate processes that influenced terrestrial ecology in western Pangea during Earth's previous icehouse period. Key goals combine paleontology, isotope geochemistry, and magnetostratigraphy to: identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in Utah's Cutler Group sedimentary rocks; determine the pace and...
This $597,328 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative, multi-disciplinary research effort to investigate the long-term impacts of large igneous province volcanism on climate and biological recovery. Key objectives include: 1) developing high-resolution records of volcanism, weathering, climate, and life; 2) modeling the coupled processes of mantle dynamics, magma transport, and volcanic outgassing; 3) assimilating...
