Project Grant 2503848
- 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...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $284,111 to Northeastern University from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025. The funding supports collaborative research to evaluate past and future hydroclimatology of the Mississippi River through integrated climate modeling, observations, and reconstructions. Researchers will determine the net effect of competing climate...
- This three-year, $109,644 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to advance understanding of abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Arizona will lead efforts to determine the role of seasonality in abrupt climate shifts by mapping glacial landforms and dating the pattern and timing of recession for an ice cap...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project to trace Pacific Ocean circulation and ventilation during the warm Pliocene epoch. The $387,909 award, made on August 15, 2024, will fund the generation of paleoceanographic records to test models suggesting a strong overturning circulation in the North Pacific during this period. The research will examine redox, temperature, and productivity proxies in...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $2,536,263 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. to conduct a collaborative research project titled "Measuring the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf". This project, with a performance period from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2028, seeks to understand the amount of fresh (low salinity) water carried from the Arctic Ocean along the East...
- This three-year, $1.2 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences aims to test the role of seasonality in abrupt climate change through reconstructing fluctuations of a late-glacial ice mass in eastern North America. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the University of Maine will collaborate with researchers to determine the signature of summer warming-driven ice retreat...
- This federal Project Grant award of $451,779 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to measure the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Northeast Greenland Shelf. The project aims to determine how much fresh, low-salinity water is carried from the Arctic Ocean into the North Atlantic and how this transport may vary as the Greenland and Arctic ice sheets melt. To achieve this, the award will fund the deployment of an...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $771,667 Project Grant under its Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as Columbia University. The grant, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, will support a research project to reconstruct deep ocean circulation in the North Atlantic during the last ice age climate cycle. The project will generate high-quality, high-resolution paleoceanographic data, including...
- This $683,266 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to reconstruct global ice volume and bottom water temperature over the past 1-3 million years. The project at Brown University will analyze multiple climate proxies, including biomarkers and stable isotopes, using machine learning algorithms to resolve global ice volume and ocean temperature signals. The key objectives are to assess the role of CO2 and ice albedo in global...
- 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 National Science Foundation awarded a $391,271 project grant under their Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Arizona for a collaborative research project titled "Seasonal and Century-Scale Climatic and Ocean Response to Deglacial Mississippi River Outflow due to Laurentide Meltwater." The project aims to improve understanding of how past ice sheet melting and associated freshwater inputs impacted regional climate, ocean circulation, and ecosystems. Researchers will generate high-resolution reconstructions of ocean-atmospheric and biogeochemical variability from marine sediment cores to characterize the timing, frequency, and influence of meltwater pulses on the marine environment. The research will help anticipate potential consequences of modern ice sheet melting and freshwater input on marine ecosystems. The project will support student research, training, and public outreach through data visualizations. The award period runs from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
