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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $429,298 to George Mason University to conduct collaborative research on the integrated late Devonian Earth evolution. The research aims 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. Specifically, the project will: 1) develop an integrated geologic framework...

This Project Grant will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 to strengthen...
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 Stony Brook University Research Foundation received a three-year, $201,164 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support research integrating tectonics, surface processes and paleobiodiversity using numerical and observational approaches. The grant was awarded June 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the geosciences through basic research of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the funding will support...
This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $459,988 to Appalachian State University to conduct research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: RUI: CSI DEVONIAN - TESTING LATE DEVONIAN OCEAN ANOXIA PROXIES ACROSS DIFFERENT PALEOENVIRONMENTS." The funding supports work under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric,...
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 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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $175,666 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The funding will support collaborative research examining the role of the Porcupine Fault System in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. This study involves a new partnership between early career and senior academic researchers, federal and state/territory...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support fundamental research to expand knowledge of the Earth system, provides $111,760 to Suffolk County Community College from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2027. The funding will support a collaborative research project to integrate fluorspar dating and geophysical models to constrain the timing and mechanisms of the collapse of the Cordillera mountain range in...
