- 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) provides $131,757 to Bucknell University to conduct collaborative research on the effects of early Icehouse extremes on vertebrate paleogeobiology during the Late Devonian period, approximately 360 million years ago. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Collecting and analyzing data from rock and fossil samples to establish a geologic age framework, scrutinize...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $429,298 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to George Mason University to conduct collaborative research on the Devonian period. The funded work seeks to understand the timing, causes, and consequences of Devonian mass extinctions, and how they can be identified in rocks across North America, Bolivia, and Western Australia. This integrated study will provide a new framework for understanding ocean oxygen loss and its impact on...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to develop an integrated framework for understanding the Late Devonian mass extinctions and associated changes in ocean chemistry and climate. The $231,421 award to Texas A&M University aims to: Establish a new geologic framework linking Late Devonian mass extinctions to the formation of epeiric black shale deposits across North and South America using...
- This $147,302 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research at Dartmouth College to develop a new geological framework for understanding key events in Earth's history during the early Paleogene period (~66-48 million years ago). The researchers will apply modern, high-precision age-dating techniques to the sedimentological and mammal fossil records of the Naran Bulak and Gashato Formations in Mongolia. This...
- This Project Grant award of $519,422.00, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to investigate the terminal Ediacaran stage and early animal evolution at the Nevada National Security Site. The project will uncover and analyze fossils preserved in ancient rocks at this previously inaccessible site, providing new insights into the earliest animals and how they shaped Earth's ecosystems. The research team will employ high-resolution imaging,...
- This Project Grant award of $172,793 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support a collaborative research project. The goal is to study a geological core sample from the U.S. Midwest that provides a record of the dramatic climate transition from a glacial "icehouse" period to a severe "hothouse" period approximately 300 million years ago, culminating in the largest mass extinction...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $105,745 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Williams College to conduct a collaborative research study on exploring early metazoan reef evolution through a multi-scale approach. The researchers will utilize various methods, including drone-derived models, 3D reconstructions, and isotopic analyses, to improve understanding of the inhabitants and ecology of the nearly one billion-year-old Little Dal reefs in northwestern...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $349,282 to Dartmouth College from July 2021 through June 2023. The funding supports collaborative research using multisystem deep-time thermochronology to decipher Neoproterozoic exhumation patterns in time and space. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system via basic...
This $143,870 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project led by Lycoming College to investigate late Devonian paleobiology in the Appalachian Basin. The researchers will collect and analyze rock and fossil samples from surface and subsurface locations to examine the link between environmental extremes and vertebrate habitats during the late Devonian period, approximately 360 million years ago. This multidisciplinary effort will advance understanding of the connections between biological, chemical, and physical processes in Earth's past. The project will engage eight students and two early-career faculty, and include public outreach activities to share knowledge of Devonian geology with the local community in central Pennsylvania. The award period runs from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028.
