Project Grant 2508926
- 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 $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 from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $215,151 to develop records of hydroclimate variability in the southeastern United States from the middle Holocene to present day. The Research Foundation for the State University of New York at the University at Albany will lead collaborative research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
- This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences totals $417,928 to fund research titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: P2C2--CORAL PROXY AND CLIMATE MODEL COMPARISON TO UNDERSTAND CLIMATE VARIABILITY IN THE INTRA-AMERICAS SEA REGION." The research will be performed by Louisiana State University under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to...
- 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 $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...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award provides $219,444 to Louisiana State University to conduct a collaborative research project on discriminating between marine and terrestrial sediments in coastal wetlands. The research aims to improve understanding of the relative contributions of marine and terrestrial sources to compound flooding events driven by recent increases in hurricane strength, precipitation, and storm surges due to climate change. The...
- 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...
- 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 $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 $399,199 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund a research project at Louisiana State University to characterize the evolution of the Atlantic-Mediterranean ocean gateway and its impact on global climate. The project will use palynological analysis of sediment cores to study how the opening and closing of this ocean gateway over geological time has influenced regional and global climate patterns. Three future palynologists, including one undergraduate and two graduate students, will be trained through this interdisciplinary research. The project will also collaborate with an artist to create a public exhibit showcasing the scientific findings. This award supports fundamental research to expand scientific knowledge about Earth's integrated climate system and provides training to develop the next generation of U.S. palynologists.
