This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant, awarded to the San Diego State University Research Foundation, provides $239,554 in funding to conduct collaborative research on the role of the Southern Westerly Winds in the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels during the Holocene period compared to previous warm periods over the last 900,000 years. The research team will generate proxy records from sediments collected in the Southern Ocean to...
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...
This three-year, $556,558 National Science Foundation project grant to Rutgers, The State University, supports research under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to determine climate-related changes in water mass structure, paleoventilation, and paleocirculation in the Southeast Indian and Southern Oceans. Key products include analyses of isotope ratios in sediment core samples from the region to reconstruct variations in ocean water sources and ventilation history over glacial cycles....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $546,989 Project Grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division, under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant supports collaborative research to understand the non-linear and feedback mechanisms in the atmospheric circulation response to increased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. The research aims to address the limited understanding of how warming-induced...
This $303,642 National Science Foundation project grant will fund research to quantify global carbon cycle feedbacks during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a past period of global warming. Led by the University of California Santa Cruz, the research team will measure how volcanism contributed to atmospheric carbon dioxide rise during this event and constrain total carbon emissions through new ocean acidification records. They will also develop novel carbon cycle modeling to compare...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) aims to test and calibrate a method for estimating the historical carbonate ion concentration of seawater as an indicator of changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels over the past 800,000 years. The $284,622 award to Columbia University will fund a three-part research effort to: 1) determine the relationship between a foraminifer fragmentation index (MFI) and measured carbonate...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to determine changes in the pelagic ecosystem function and their impact on the carbon cycle from the Eocene to the Oligocene epochs. The research will reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem during this period of significant climate variability, and analyze how those changes impacted carbonate production and preservation....
The University of Connecticut was awarded a $329,753 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences on May 15, 2021 for research titled "Collaborative Research: Sensitivity of Walker Circulation to CO2 Forcing During the Late Pliocene as an Analogue for Future Climate Change." The research is being conducted under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $726,244 to Rutgers, The State University for research correcting seasonal biases in sea surface temperature proxies. The research aims to improve paleoceanographic reconstructions by developing approaches to extract seasonal and mean annual temperature records from proxies. It will test these approaches in climate models under different...
