Project Grant 2503635
- 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...
- 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 $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...
- 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...
- 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 $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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $588,786 project grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to develop replicated coral geochemical reconstructions to understand dynamics of the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) in the context of climate change. The project aims to analyze temperature-sensitive elements preserved in coral cores from American Samoa, Fiji, and Tonga to reconstruct...
- This $284,622 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to advance the calibration of a carbonate ion proxy method for estimating past seawater carbonate ion concentrations. The research aims to determine the relative importance of biological processes and sea level changes as factors contributing to past atmospheric CO2 variability, as evidenced by ice core data. The project will involve training and mentoring...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $687,689 to fund research investigating the dynamics of temperature patterns in the Pacific Ocean across different timescales. The project aims to advance fundamental understanding of key aspects of Pacific Ocean dynamics, with the goal of reconciling discrepancies between climate model simulations and observations related to trends in the tropical Pacific and associated regional...
- This $749,164 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium. The University of California, Santa Barbara will collaborate with researchers to produce records of tropical sea surface temperature variability using geochemistry from long-lived corals in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Comparing multi-century coral data from these ocean basins...
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 change. By analyzing and dating these records, the project seeks to reduce uncertainty concerning the rate and magnitude of sea-level rise during this warmer period. The insights gained will improve future projections and contribute to more informed coastal planning. The award supports fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and modeling, while also fostering international collaboration, graduate student training, and public outreach. This research addresses the critical issue of sea-level rise, which already costs the U.S. economy $200-$400 billion annually and is expected to worsen flooding impacts for coastal communities.
