This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $374,314 to Yale University to investigate changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago, as an analog for understanding the ocean's response to modern climate warming. The researchers will use data and models to quantify the impacts of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, such as circulation changes and biological processes,...
This $308,515 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to study changes in pelagic ecosystem function and their impact on the carbon cycle from the Eocene to Oligocene periods (56-33.9 million years ago). The project aims to reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem and determine how these changes affected carbonate production and preservation during a time of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $333,652 to Harvard University for a 2-year study to reconstruct atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels during the Late Cretaceous through Paleocene periods, approximately 79 to 61 million years ago. The research focuses on analyzing organic molecules and isotopes preserved in sediment cores collected during the International Ocean Discovery...
The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded $851,808 to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a project grant running from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant will support research analyzing tectonic degassing as a potential driver of the mid-Miocene climate transition approximately 14 million years ago, when the Earth experienced sustained cooling. Key products include new biomarker-based sea surface...
This $372,515 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to document variations in the influence of the Southern Hemisphere on the Western Pacific Warm Pool thermocline over the past 1.5 million years. The principal investigators at Columbia University will analyze geochemical data from deep-sea sediment cores to determine the timing and patterns of subsurface warming in the Western Pacific Warm Pool relative to surface...
This Project Grant award of $381,740 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project led by George Mason University to disentangle paleoclimate signals from individual foraminiferal analyses across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) at International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1580. The project aims to remedy known limitations in PETM foraminiferal records by applying cutting-edge analytical techniques to measure...
This $359,809 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research effort between a U.S. modeling expert and a Swiss geochemistry expert to reconcile climate models and proxy data interpretations for the Miocene period (23-5 million years ago), a time of much warmer global temperatures and higher greenhouse gas levels. The project aims to develop novel proxy system models to better understand how paleoclimate proxies...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $652,604 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research titled "Collaborative Research: Glacial Deep Pacific Carbon Storage and Effects on CacO3 Preservation" from June 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024. The grant will support research into glacial deep Pacific carbon storage and its effects on calcium carbonate preservation. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental...
This $683,266 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reconstruct global ice volume and bottom water temperature over the past 1-3 million years. The project at Brown University will analyze multiple climate proxies, including biomarkers and stable isotopes, using machine learning algorithms to resolve global ice volume and ocean temperature signals. The key objectives are to assess the role of CO2 and ice albedo in global...
This Project Grant award, totaling $207,480.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Utah State University. The primary objective is to reconstruct the magnitude, pace, and dynamics of climate change during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a significant paleoclimate event that occurred approximately 56 million years ago. The research team will utilize cutting-edge analytical techniques to conduct individual foraminiferal analysis on...
