This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $395,871 to President and Fellows of Harvard College to conduct research on the biogeochemical and microbial processes behind the production of sulfate minerals. The goal is to better understand how the triple oxygen isotope composition of these minerals can serve as a proxy for reconstructing ancient atmospheric composition and global biogeochemical features. The research will involve detailed microbiological experiments and novel geochemical measurements, providing interdisciplinary training opportunities for doctoral students and summer research internships for Native American undergraduate students. The award term runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
