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, totaling $207,480.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Utah State University. The primary objective is to reconstruct the magnitude, pace, and dynamics of climate change during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a significant paleoclimate event that occurred approximately 56 million years ago. The research team will utilize cutting-edge analytical techniques to conduct individual foraminiferal analysis on...
This $711,586 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research at North Carolina State University to analyze thirty years of foraminiferal assemblages from the Santa Barbara Basin. The grantee will create a record of planktic foraminifera abundances from stored samples collected in the basin and connect the results to modern oceanographic measurements and older seafloor sediments. This will improve understanding of how climate change has...
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 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $586,098 to Texas A&M University to conduct research reconstructing ancient ocean temperatures during the Devonian-Mississippian climate transition. The university will test whether tropical ocean temperatures reached extremely high levels of 95-104 degrees Fahrenheit during the time of early animals. It will examine the role of rapid cooling in triggering biotic crises and explore...
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...
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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Oklahoma a 5-year, $1,759,075 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on the Earth's climatic transitions from an icehouse to a greenhouse state around 300 million years ago. The project will recover and analyze a 2,000-meter rock core from Oklahoma to study the driving forces behind these extreme environmental changes, with the goal of elucidating the...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $144,969 to Iowa State University of Science and Technology to produce a continuous, annually resolved, and millennial-length marine climate history of the Northeast Pacific Ocean region. The project will utilize paleoclimate proxies from bivalve mollusks, tree-ring chronologies, and tropical coral growth-increment records to reconstruct sea surface temperatures and climate variability in...
