This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $262,380 to Clemson University to investigate the geological history and evolution of the Mackenzie River system in the North American Arctic. The key objectives are to: Decipher the sedimentary provenance history of the Beaufort-Mackenzie Basin through detrital zircon U-Pb and Nd-isotope analysis to understand changes in sediment and freshwater fluxes to the Beaufort Sea over the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $174,000 project grant to support research examining the impact of varying sediment supply on Arctic delta-front transport processes. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support research from April 2021 to March 2023 exploring fundamental knowledge and increased understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant will fund analysis of how...
This $237,278 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports U.S. researchers participating in a multinational research project on biocultural heritage and climate adaptation in Arctic cities. The project, competitively selected by the 55-country Belmont Forum research consortium, will develop transdisciplinary approaches to investigate the complex interactions between natural and social systems and the ability of Arctic urban...
The National Science Foundation awarded Macalester College a $116,859 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research examining the interactions of natural and social systems with climate change, globalization, and infrastructure development in the Arctic. The Geosciences program seeks to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric,...
This $217,224 National Science Foundation award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research project studying the Lake Superior basin landscape evolution. Led by President and Fellows of Harvard College, the research team will conduct multidisciplinary studies to better understand ongoing uplift, tilting, and surface processes reshaping the basin. Specific activities include reconstructing the geological past's impact on current landscape changes, mapping...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $180,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Dr. Marion McKenzie of Colorado School of Mines. The two-year award beginning September 2023 will support pairing onshore and offshore observations to better understand the dynamics of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet during the last deglaciation approximately 20,000 years ago. Dr. McKenzie will leverage sedimentology, geochronology, geophysics, and glaciology techniques to constrain the...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $306,062 Project Grant to Princeton University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research from April 2022 through March 2025. The research aims to advance understanding of cohesive sediment transport through multiscale experiments and numerical simulations. Specifically, the university will combine nano- to microscale imaging and molecular dynamics simulations, micro- to mesoscale millifluidic experiments and...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $700,865 Project Grant under the Geosciences CFDA program to the University of Northern Iowa for the research project "SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS TRANSFORMATION IN RIVER BASINS OF THE SUB-ARCTIC UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE (SESTRA)".
