This Project Grant award of $207,480 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Utah State University to disentangle paleoclimate signals from individual foraminiferal analyses across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) event. The goal is to develop new estimates of surface and deep-water warming and carbon cycle dynamics during this important past climate change event by applying advanced analytical techniques to well-preserved...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $825,297 to The Trustees of Columbia University for the period of August 15, 2021 through July 31, 2024. The grant supports experimental refinement of the boron isotope proxy in planktic foraminifera to better understand temperature, asensitivity, and seawater elemental composition. A subaward of $50,000 is provided to Vassar College to...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $614,058 will fund research at San Diego State University from September 2022 to August 2025 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The award will support efforts to improve reconstructions of past sea surface temperatures through developing methods to extract seasonal and mean annual temperature signals from geochemical proxies. Researchers will test approaches for correcting seasonal biases in proxy records against climate model...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award to Syracuse University totaling $547,085 provides funding to determine the sensitivity of eastern North American hydroclimate to climate forcings and feedbacks during the last deglaciation period. The researchers will measure stable isotopes in leaf waxes archived in lake sediments along a latitudinal gradient to track northward moisture import into the region by the North Atlantic Subtropical High....
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a $180,000 postdoctoral fellowship to apply the "triple oxygen isotope" method to study changes in aridity across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming. The goal is to test whether this new analytical approach can detect shifts in water availability during this past period of global warming, which could improve models for predicting future...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,601 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) at the Geneseo campus. The grant, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, supports collaborative research to develop an integrated understanding of the Late Devonian Earth system, with a focus on ocean-climate-biosphere interactions during this critical period in Earth's history. Key objectives include: 1)...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project titled "CAREER: Quantifying Climate Induced Landscape Evolution During Early Eocene Hyperthermals". The $498,733 award, which commenced on October 1, 2024, will fund a project to reconstruct paleoclimate and landscape response in three sedimentary basins in the western U.S. during the early Eocene hyperthermal events. The research will use a multi-proxy...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $207,353 to Lafayette College aims to conceptually, empirically, and predictively link stream temperature and hydrological processes in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. region. The key research objectives are to: 1) develop a framework and perform time-series analysis of river temperature observations, and 2) use models to describe water movement and energy exchange to clarify the role of hydrology in...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $526,171 to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) to develop an isotope-enabled data assimilation system for studying the South American summer monsoon over the last millennium. The key objectives are to: 1) quantify the spatiotemporal characteristics of the South American summer monsoon and its relationship with the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $199,997 to Broome Community College to conduct a research study titled "EMBRACE-EAR-SEED: Refining Paleotemperature Interpretations: High Resolution Study of the Seasonality of Fluid Inclusion Development in Halite Crystal Growth".

The key objectives of this research project are to understand how fluid inclusions in salt minerals, such as halite, can be used to infer past environmental temperatures. Through a combination of controlled laboratory experiments and analysis of modern salt samples from the Great Salt Lake, the project aims to determine whether fluid inclusions in precipitated salt reflect daily, seasonal, maximum, minimum, or annual temperature conditions. Improving the calibration and validation of fluid inclusions as a paleoclimate proxy will enhance the ability to reconstruct past environments, particularly for the highly variable Eocene time period. The project also provides undergraduate research opportunities for Broome Community College students in collaboration with Binghamton University and the Utah Geological Survey. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an award date of July 15, 2025 and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2027.
