This three-year, $1.28 million project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund the acquisition of a Mini Carbon Dating System (MICADAS) to support multi-millennial, multi-user carbon-14 dating applications at the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research (LTRR). The MICADAS instrument and associated sample preparation equipment will maximize throughput of precise, small-sample radiocarbon measurements from tree-rings and other...
This $429,227 Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to resolve uncertainty in past carbon-14 (Δ14C) spikes from tree rings. The goal is to better understand past solar energetic particle events, which pose risks to space-based infrastructure, by quantifying physiological sources of uncertainty in Δ14C measurements from tree rings. The project will use field and model-based experiments to...
This $185,538 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research to resolve uncertainty in past radiocarbon (Δ14C) spikes recorded in tree rings. The project aims to better understand how different tree species and latitudes affect the storage and timing of carbon uptake, which impacts the precision of these environmental records for studying extreme solar events. By conducting field experiments and modeling...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,199,429 Project Grant to the University of California Irvine under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to acquire a mini carbon dating system (MICADAS) for climate change and air quality research. The three-year award, made on September 1, 2021 and concluding on August 31, 2024, will support the purchase of a MICADAS instrument to enable precise radiocarbon measurements that can provide insights about atmospheric dynamics and carbon cycling. As...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $276,830.00 to the University of Arizona to conduct collaborative research on precisely dating archaeological evidence of population history and the evolution of prehistoric social institutions. The project aims to revise the timeline for population changes and monumental construction in a specific region by redating wood and charcoal samples...
This Project Grant award of $306,789.00 from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.074 Biological Sciences) supports collaborative research by the University of Nevada, Reno to investigate the impacts of drought and fire on tree species in western U.S. forests. The key products and services to be delivered under this 4-year award, which runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2029, include: Quantifying the adaptive traits of over 100 tree species in the western U.S. that help them tolerate drought...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) provides $3,697,242 to the University of New Mexico to conduct the "Forest Research for New Mexico Water and Carbon Management" project. The project aims to improve understanding and management of New Mexico's forests and watersheds by integrating expertise in ecology, hydrology, community engagement, and rural economics. Key activities include gathering high-resolution data...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $291,713 Project Grant under its Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct a dendrochronology (tree-ring dating) study. This two-year project aims to establish a new high-resolution chronology for the archaeological record in a region that experienced cultural adaptation and transitions between the 8th and 12th centuries AD due to climate...
This $103,171 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a collaborative research effort to advance the understanding of global paleoclimate through the expansion of African dendrochronology. The project aims to measure radiocarbon, tree ring width, and wood anatomy from dominant tree species in Zambia to develop multi-century climate records. These data will be used to create a gridded precipitation reconstruction for the region and...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a 3-year, $499,986 Project Grant to Cornell University to investigate potential intra-annual radiocarbon (14C) offsets and their paleoclimate relevance across three geographic regions - the East Mediterranean-Middle East, Southwest United States, and Southeast United States. The project aims to quantify any growing season-related 14C variations and assess their impacts on radiocarbon age calibration,...
