This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research to reconstruct climate dynamics during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) event 56 million years ago. The $265,102 award to Oklahoma State University will enable a team of early career researchers and students to analyze individual foraminiferal microfossils from a well-preserved sediment record at International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1580. By applying advanced...
This Project Grant award of $381,740 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a collaborative research project led by George Mason University to disentangle paleoclimate signals from individual foraminiferal analyses across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) at International Ocean Discovery Program Site U1580. The project aims to remedy known limitations in PETM foraminiferal records by applying cutting-edge analytical techniques to measure...
This Project Grant award, valued at $442,114, was issued by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Texas at Austin. The objective of the research is to study how the pelagic calcifier communities in the South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre evolved from the early Eocene to the early Oligocene, and how those changes impacted carbonate production and burial at the seafloor. The project will generate data from sediment cores collected during...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a research project to study the impact of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a period of rapid global warming approximately 56 million years ago, on erosion rates. The project will apply thermochronology techniques to quantify shifts in erosion before, during, and after the PETM in the Tremp-Graus Basin in Spain. The goal is to improve understanding of how Earth's landscapes...
This $172,778 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research to test climate model predictions of hydrologic change in the tropical Atlantic during a past warm period. Specifically, the awardee, Utah State University, will geochemically analyze oxygen isotopes and magnesium-to-calcium ratios in planktonic foraminifera from deep-sea sediment cores at several sites, including Ocean Drilling Project Site...
This $201,294 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into carbon cycle feedbacks during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. The grantee, Regents of the University of California at Riverside, will generate new records of ocean chemistry and develop novel modeling strategies to quantify global carbon cycle responses during this past period of warming. A postdoctoral researcher at UC Santa Cruz and undergraduate interns from UC...
This $163,915 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project investigating changes in carbon uptake and storage in the Pacific Ocean during the Pliocene, a warm period approximately 3 million years ago. The primary objectives are to quantify the marine carbon response to temperature-sensitive mechanisms within the ocean, with the goal of better predicting carbon storage during future climate warming. The...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a $180,000 postdoctoral fellowship to apply the "triple oxygen isotope" method to study changes in aridity across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming. The goal is to test whether this new analytical approach can detect shifts in water availability during this past period of global warming, which could improve models for predicting future...
This $419,234 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity over long timescales. Key objectives include: Analyzing changes in mammal functional diversity, floral composition, and abiotic factors like temperature before, during, and after the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) climate event in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming. This will elucidate the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $333,652 to Harvard University for a 2-year study to reconstruct atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels during the Late Cretaceous through Paleocene periods, approximately 79 to 61 million years ago. The research focuses on analyzing organic molecules and isotopes preserved in sediment cores collected during the International Ocean Discovery...
