Project Grant 2503658
- This federal Project Grant award of $163,928 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to investigate whether the deep Indian Ocean acted as an anomalous carbon reservoir during the last Ice Age. The research team, led by the University of Washington, will study microscopic marine fossils in sediment cores from across the Indian Ocean basin to determine if deep ocean carbon was abnormally old during this period. By analyzing the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $568,104 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Delaware to collect high-resolution carbon isotope data on GO-SHIP cruises in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. This data will be used to constrain ocean carbon uptake and storage. The project centers on deploying a new instrument system that can efficiently measure the ratio of carbon-13 to carbon-12 (13C/12C) in dissolved inorganic carbon in seawater. This will...
- The University of California Santa Cruz received a two-year, $142,510 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant funds collaborative research to uncover marine carbon chemistry dynamics during deglaciation through the use of boron isotopes and radiocarbon dating. The research aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system by increasing understanding of atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences processes. The grant...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $599,974 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Washington. The grant will fund a research project titled "CAREER: BACK TO THE BEGINNING - REFINING MARINE RADIOCARBON AS A TRACER OF OCEAN CIRCULATION AND TIME IN THE NORTH PACIFIC" with a performance period from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030. The project aims to reconstruct ocean ventilation variability in the Northeast Pacific over the past 23,000 years...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,078,024 will fund research to reconstruct climate linkages across the tropical oceans over the last millennium through May 2025. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Michigan will produce new paleoclimate records of sea surface temperature using the geochemistry of long-lived corals from the tropical North Atlantic and western Indian Ocean....
- This $308,515 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to study changes in pelagic ecosystem function and their impact on the carbon cycle from the Eocene to Oligocene periods (56-33.9 million years ago). The project aims to reconstruct changes in the South Atlantic subtropical gyre ecosystem and determine how these changes affected carbonate production and preservation during a time of...
- This $632,314 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a research project led by the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The project aims to provide a better understanding of the physical and biogeochemical processes driving carbon cycling in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Using a combination of ocean models, autonomous observations, and satellite data, the project will characterize...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded a $240,179 project grant to the University of California Santa Cruz under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) on January 15, 2023. The grant will fund the development of high-resolution paleoceanographic records from the late Miocene to early Pliocene periods (8.3-4.0 million years ago) at the central Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. Specifically, the project will generate a UK’37-based sea surface...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $374,314 to Yale University to investigate changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene era, around 3 million years ago, as an analog for understanding the ocean's response to modern climate warming. The researchers will use data and models to quantify the impacts of temperature-sensitive mechanisms, such as circulation changes and biological processes,...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara will research what controls the marine refractory dissolved organic carbon reservoir through a $389,988 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences' Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). This three-year award beginning July 15, 2021 will fund collaborative research to strengthen understanding of the integrated earth system through basic research of the ocean sciences. Specifically, the university will investigate the...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $150,602 project grant to the University of California, Irvine to conduct collaborative research on potential anomalies in the Indian Ocean carbon reservoir across the last ice age. The project aims to use radiocarbon dating of microfossil remains to determine if the deep Indian Ocean stored substantial amounts of carbon during this period, which could have impacted global temperatures. The researchers will analyze sediment cores from across the Indian Ocean basin to measure the radiocarbon content and grain size, providing insights into deep ocean currents and the potential transport and release of this stored carbon. This 3-year project, running from October 2025 to September 2028, supports early career scientists and graduate student research opportunities focused on understanding Earth's carbon cycles between the atmosphere, ocean, and land on geological timescales.
