This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) Federal Grant Program provides $450,000 to Auburn University to conduct collaborative research on the impacts of the Cretaceous Thermal Maximum (KTM) - a period of extreme global warming approximately 95 million years ago. The research aims to generate open-access databases on terrestrial biodiversity, ecosystem dynamics, and climate proxies during the KTM in order to understand the effects of rapid and extreme warming on land-based ecosystems. The project will focus on the Gobi Basin in Mongolia and the Western Interior Basin in North America, which contain rich records of Cretaceous terrestrial life. The research findings will be directly relevant to predicting the ecological impacts of climate change and informing strategies to mitigate future harm. The award also includes a cross-disciplinary postgraduate research exchange program and initiatives to increase STEM opportunities for youth. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
