The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $832,098 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on September 15, 2023. The award will fund a 4-year collaborative research project to investigate the impacts of climate change-driven glacier retreat on Andean volcanoes in the inner tropics, including effects on water supply, vegetation, elemental cycling, and local indigenous Kichwa communities. The...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $174,000 to support research on the evolution of landscapes buried by Quaternary sediments. The two-year award, made effective February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2024, will fund work advancing fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grant recipient will conduct studies of landscapes...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $368,342 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the project "MCA: Multi-Scale Considerations of Climatic Signatures on Debris Flows and Alluvial Fans" from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The Geosciences program aims to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated system through basic research support in atmospheric, Earth, and ocean sciences. This three-year grant will support...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $277,175 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant will fund the development of precipitation, evaporation and temperature records from tropical lake sediments and cave deposits for the last 700,000 years. This work supports the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth,...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $142,947 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences on July 15, 2021 to support research investigating inter-hemispheric phasing of tropical Andean hydroclimate in response to Holocene orbital forcing. The grant will fund a collaborative research project through June 30, 2024 examining how changes in the Earth's orbit and axis have impacted tropical South American climate over the past 12,000 years....
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 Project Grant award of $207,480 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research at Utah State University to disentangle paleoclimate signals from individual foraminiferal analyses across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) event. The goal is to develop new estimates of surface and deep-water warming and carbon cycle dynamics during this important past climate change event by applying advanced analytical techniques to well-preserved...
This $162,243 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research at the University of Central Florida (UCF) to advance predictive understanding of landscape evolution and erosional extremes under changing climatic conditions. The key objectives are to: (1) extract local geomorphic transport laws driving landscape evolution using large-scale experimental data and novel physics-informed artificial intelligence methods; (2)...
The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $398,967 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research calibrating the pace of paleotropical environmental and ecological change during Earth's previous icehouse period from 304 to 280 million years ago. The research aims to identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary and correlate...
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...
