This $278,947 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to investigate the Earth's historical geomagnetic field. The research team from Columbia University will synthesize new and existing paleomagnetic data from Arctic sediment cores to study changes in geomagnetic dipole moment and field morphology during the early Holocene period (10,000 to 7,000 years ago). The goal is to test the hypothesis that...
This $272,164 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to investigate the historical changes in the Earth's geomagnetic field, particularly during the early Holocene period from 10,000 to 7,000 years ago. The research team from Oregon State University will synthesize new and existing paleomagnetic data from sediment cores collected across the Arctic region to study variations in the geomagnetic dipole...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $127,684 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Florida to conduct a collaborative research project investigating the history of the Earth's magnetic field strength over the last five million years, with a focus on the Southern Hemisphere. The research team, consisting of scientists from the University of California San Diego, University of Florida, and Liverpool University, will employ innovative...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $423,378 project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Illinois State University from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The grant will support collaborative research to investigate subglacial silicic magma systems beneath Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland. Researchers will explore the origin, evolution, age and longevity of magmas in this region to further understand Iceland's glaciological volcanic hazard potential and gain insight into...
This $107,298 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Rochester to investigate the evolution of magnetic fields on Earth and other planets. Over five years, the award will support graduate student and local high school/undergraduate student-led research using computer modeling and shock experiments to study early planetary core formation and the potential influence of meteorite impacts on generating magnetic...
This two-year, $163,559 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support the development of high-resolution records of paleomagnetic secular variation (PSV) in the Western North Atlantic Ocean between 380,000-780,000 years ago. Specifically, the grantee will reanalyze PSV records including directions, relative paleointensity, and evidence of six magnetic field excursions recorded in deep-sea sediments at...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $197,841 to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography is part of the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports fundamental research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. The award funds a collaborative research project to study the history of the Earth's magnetic field strength over the last five million years, with a focus on addressing significant gaps in data from the...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $239,517 Project Grant to Stanford University under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to support research exploring the potential role of a basal magma ocean in influencing early Earth's magnetic field processes. Over the two-year period from August 15, 2022 to July 31, 2025, the grantee will collect new experimental measurements on the physical properties of iron-bearing silicate melts under various...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant of $372,159 to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research on understanding the relationship between localized perturbations in the Earth's magnetic field and associated magnetospheric and ionospheric phenomena. The research aims to improve the ability to predict geomagnetically induced currents that can impact power grids and other critical infrastructure. The three-year...
