Project Grant 2503634
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $286,967 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct collaborative research on deciphering sea-level changes during the last interglacial period. The project aims to better constrain the sensitivity of ice sheets to future melting by examining fossil coral reefs and cave deposits in the Yucatan Peninsula, which preserve an exceptional record of sea-level...
- The University of South Florida was awarded a $537,362 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The grant aims to advance understanding of global mean sea level variations over the last 130,000 years through geological records preserved in coastal cave deposits from multiple locations. Researchers will reconstruct past sea level history and study sea level high stands during prior warm periods. They...
- This Project Grant award of $322,497.00 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to improve understanding of sea-level changes during the Last Interglacial period, approximately 125,000 years ago, to help project future ice sheet and sea-level responses under continued global warming. The University of Wisconsin - Madison will lead the research, which will analyze existing fossil coral reef samples from Western Australia and the Seychelles to reconstruct...
- This $221,255 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to better understand spatial variability in sea level change during the last interglacial period approximately 120,000 years ago. The grantee will develop high-resolution global models of mantle flow to predict dynamic topography change across the greater Caribbean region over this timeframe. They will also compile a comprehensive dataset of interglacial sea level indicators...
- This $696,926 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) funds collaborative research between the University of New Mexico, University of South Florida, and Harvard University to advance understanding of global mean sea level variations and the relative contributions of polar ice sheets and glaciers. The researchers will use geological records preserved in coastal cave deposits to reconstruct global mean sea level history over the past 130,000 years...
- The University of Florida was awarded a $999,721 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to develop strategies to counter the effects of rising sea levels, climate change, urban sprawl, and farming on coastal groundwater supplies. The project will focus on the following key activities: Developing decision-support tools and recommending nature-based solutions to reduce groundwater hazards such as saltwater intrusion and flooding in low-lying, densely...
- This $275,001 Project Grant award by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to understand how Earth's climate and oceans responded to the influx of meltwater from the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the last deglaciation, approximately 20,000 to 11,700 years ago. The research will generate high-resolution reconstructions of ocean-atmospheric and biogeochemical variability from marine sediment cores collected offshore Texas, focusing on...
- Florida State University received a two-year, $278,481 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023 to study the mechanisms of coral resistance to climate change driven stressors in the tropical Eastern Pacific. As part of the Geosciences program's goal to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research, this...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program awarded a $624,127 Project Grant to Florida State University (FSU) to study the impact of ocean dynamics on coastal sea level changes in the eastern Atlantic region. The award, titled "OCEAN DYNAMICS IMPACTING SHELF SEA LEVEL IN EASTERN ATLANTIC (ODISSEA)," will combine direct observations and numerical modeling to quantify the drivers of regional sea level variability and extremes, with a focus on understanding the influence of...
- This $415,924 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to investigate the large-scale dynamics of the tropical Indo-Pacific region during the Last Glacial Maximum. The project aims to reconstruct the tropical thermocline structure and wind patterns using ocean modeling and geochemical analysis of foraminifera sediment samples. This research will lead to a better understanding of how the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $358,322 to the University of Florida to research sea-level changes during the last interglacial period. The project aims to better understand how quickly and how high sea levels rose during this warmer period, around 129,000 to 116,000 years ago, in order to improve future projections of sea-level rise and inform coastal planning efforts. The researchers will collect and analyze fossil corals and cave deposits from the Yucatan Peninsula to reconstruct the local and global sea-level record. The project fosters international collaboration, supports graduate students and early-career faculty, and includes public outreach in the U.S. and Mexico. By providing new insights into ice sheet sensitivity to past warming, this research will contribute to more informed planning for the impacts of future sea-level rise.
