The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $117,736 Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund, doing business as Tulane University, for a project titled "Collaborative Research: Calibration of Raman Spectroscopy for Calcite Saturation State in Marine Biogenic Calcification." The project aims to establish the use of Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive technique, to measure the degree of calcium carbonate saturation in the calcifying fluids of marine organisms. This research will generate calibrations to enable the effective use of Raman spectroscopy on biogenic calcites, which has not been achieved previously. The project period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. No subawards are planned under this grant.
