This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant, awarded on September 1, 2024 for $468,255, supports high-resolution seismic imaging of the crust in the Malawi (Nyasa) Rift in Africa. The researchers at Northern Arizona University will analyze seismic data to create 3D models of crustal seismic wavespeeds, which will help quantify the depth-dependent stretching within and around the rift axis, locate transitions between ancient crustal terranes, and...
This five-year, $229,571 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Led by Brown University, the project will use sedimentary records to model historical community structures and functions under different climate change scenarios. Researchers will assess open water and benthic communities using geochemical, fossil, and genomic...
This $268,385 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Connecticut to study the impact of climate change on biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. The university will use sedimentary records to model historical community structures and functions under different climate change scenarios. Genetic, geochemical and fossil tools will assess open water and benthic communities, and key organisms' physical and physiological responses. The results will help...
This is a $180,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to support a two-year research project led by Dr. Rasheed Ajala at Columbia University and Dr. Daniel Trugman at the University of Nevada Reno. The project aims to develop multiscale Earth models that integrate crustal and mantle-scale processes to enhance exploration, discovery, and application in the East African Rift System. Key products will include a web service for creating...
This two-year, $199,534 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the acquisition of high-resolution seismic reflection data in Lake Victoria, East Africa. Specifically, Syracuse University will tow a CHIRP seismic reflection instrument to collect approximately 2,000 km of seismic line data over the two-year period. The University will then process, analyze, interpret and integrate the new data with...
This $337,359 National Science Foundation project grant to The University of Toledo will fund research into the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. The research will study Lake Tanganyika's sedimentary record to track changes in open water and benthic community structures and functions under different climate change scenarios using geochemical, fossil, and genomic tools. It will assess the physical and physiological responses of key organisms to...
This $226,008 National Science Foundation project grant supports research on the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), this five-year award to the University of Arizona will use sedimentary records to model historical community structures and functions under climate change scenarios. Researchers will assess open water and benthic communities using geochemical, fossil, and genomic tools to...
This $192,702 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will fund research at the University of Wyoming to study the impact of climate change on functional biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika, Africa. The research aims to track functional biodiversity lake-wide using Lake Tanganyika's high-resolution sedimentary record to establish a series of historical experiments. Researchers will integrate...
This four-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Earth Sciences provides $145,779 to Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs to support collaborative research unraveling distributed deformation during early-stage rifting in the western and southwestern African rifts. The grant is part of NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), is funding a collaborative research project to advance understanding of global paleoclimate through the expansion of African dendrochronology. The $103,171 award, effective July 15, 2024 through June 30, 2027, will enable researchers at Brigham Young University to collect and analyze tree ring samples from Zambia to reconstruct historical precipitation patterns and identify key drivers...
