This Project Grant award of $130,076.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to model the dynamics of marine paleocommunities across the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event, approximately 251 million years ago. The project aims to examine how ancient ecosystems adapted to extreme disturbances by using fossil records and advanced computational analyses. This research addresses the fundamental challenge of reconstructing...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a collaborative research project to examine how terrestrial ecosystems were rebuilt following the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction event approximately 66 million years ago. The $234,197 award, with a project period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2028, will fund paleontological and geochemical analyses of fossil collections and new field...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049), supports collaborative research between the University of California - Merced and the University of Alaska Fairbanks to reconstruct the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems. The $112,243 award, spanning May 2025 to August 2027, aims to uncover how marine communities have responded to climate change and resource exploitation in the past, focusing on the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a 3-year, $600,000 Project Grant to the Field Museum of Natural History, a non-profit research institution in Chicago, IL, to investigate ecosystem recovery from the Permo-Triassic mass extinction event. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Synthesizing geochronologic age controls and precisely identifying the Permo-Triassic boundary in the Karoo Basin of South Africa. Analyzing shifts...
This federal Project Grant award of $143,674 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) will fund collaborative research to examine how terrestrial ecosystems rebuilt following the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction event approximately 66 million years ago. The research team from the College of Charleston will collect and analyze fossil, geochemical, and environmental data from three sites in the western United States to document the patterns...
This Project Grant award of $444,594 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research into how a major extinction event during the Plio-Pleistocene transition impacted the interactions between flatworm parasites and their clam hosts in the western Atlantic Ocean. The project aims to evaluate changes in parasite prevalence, abundance, body size, and impacts on host growth and longevity, as well as utilize geochemical proxies to understand the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a three-year collaborative research project to investigate the Late Ordovician mass extinction event. The $310,891 grant, awarded on August 1, 2024, will support field investigations on Anticosti Island, Canada, as well as global phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses of fossil organisms such as crinoids and trilobites. The research aims to document patterns of extinction, biogeographic change,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $212,687 Project Grant to the Smithsonian Institution under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study the recovery of terrestrial ecosystems following the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction event. The grant will support extensive paleontological and geochemical analyses of fossil collections and new field data from the Rocky Mountain region to reveal the patterns and timeline of how land-based life rebuilt after...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology awarded a $328,756 Project Grant to the University of Southern California (USC) for a collaborative research project titled "BOCP-IMPLEMENTATION: TESTING EVOLUTIONARY MODELS OF BIOTIC SURVIVAL AND RECOVERY FROM THE PERMO-TRIASSIC MASS EXTINCTION AND CLIMATE CRISIS." The 3-year project, running from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026, will investigate ecosystem recovery from the Permo-Triassic mass extinction...
This $351,499 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to quantify the ecological legacy of the Terminal Pleistocene megafaunal extinction on mammal communities in the Edward's Plateau region of Texas. The research team at the University of Nebraska will characterize changes in diet, morphology, and ecological interactions of extinct and surviving mammals over the past 20,000 years through stable isotope analysis, 2D/3D...
