The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $360,704 Project Grant to the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology (SDSM&T) under the Geosciences CFDA Program (47.050) to assess the paleoenvironmental and geobiological significance of carbonates from the Eocene-Oligocene boundary in the White River Group in southwestern South Dakota. The key objectives are to: 1) identify the extent of these lake deposits and understand their sedimentology and...
This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
This federal Project Grant award of $997,523.00 from the Department of Energy's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) supports data analysis and low background assay research for future rare search experiments conducted by Black Hills State University (BHSU) in Spearfish, South Dakota. The award term runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2025. As a public educational institution, BHSU has a robust portfolio of federal grant awards focused on scientific research, STEM...
The South Dakota School of Mines and Technology's Museum of Geology received a $316,332 Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) project grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Through this 3-year award, the museum will catalog and rehouse its mineralogy and petrology collections that document mineral diversity in the Black Hills, including strategic minerals.
