This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program totaling $429,823 supports a collaborative research effort to investigate the Holocene biogeochemical evolution of the Great Lakes. The research team from Central Michigan University and Michigan State University will collect sediment cores from Lakes Superior, Huron, and Erie to analyze elemental and isotopic geochemical cycles over geologic time. This work will provide insights into past productivity,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award of $518,578 to Michigan State University (MSU), with a period of performance from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2027, will investigate the Holocene biogeochemical evolution of the Great Lakes system. The project will collect sediment cores from Lakes Superior, Huron, and Erie to analyze geochemical proxies, including mercury isotopes, nutrient concentrations, and redox-sensitive elements. This research aims to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $162,339 to Boston College provides funding to develop a 500,000-year speleothem (cave formation) growth chronology near the southern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in New York State. The project aims to determine if the ice sheet reached New York during past glacial periods, which will help constrain its size and response to climate change drivers. The research will generate real-world data on...
The University of Michigan will receive $331,413 under a three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to develop precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. The grant will support basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of Michigan in the amount of $519,517 for the period of January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The project aims to advance the understanding of interannual variability and extreme events in the thermal structure of large lakes, specifically the North American Great Lakes, under historical and future climate scenarios. Key objectives include:
Investigating...
This three-year, $1.2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to test the role of seasonality in abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Maine will collaborate with researchers to determine the signature of summer warming-driven ice...
This $200,000 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at the University of Michigan from September 2022 to August 2025 to investigate the importance of sea-level feedbacks in stabilizing marine-based ice sheets during retreat. The research will combine new late Pleistocene/Holocene relative sea-level data from Scotland with glacial isostatic adjustment models to understand sensitivity of the former Minch Ice Stream to local...
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...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities, under the Integrative Activities federal grant program (CFDA 47.083), provides $139,022 to Plymouth State University from January 15, 2023 through December 31, 2024. The funding will support research to reconstruct past climate records in New England from 13,000 years ago when a large ice sheet was retreating, through analysis of organic molecules in lake sediments. The research aims to elucidate the...
