This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $138,000 provides funding for a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biology from March 1, 2023 through February 28, 2025. The fellowship supports research and training to investigate the biogeography and community assembly of North American Carboniferous ecosystems. Specifically, the fellow will analyze the fossil record using approaches including anatomy, geology, and ecology to determine how ancient land ecosystems responded to environmental and...
This $180,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports postdoctoral research examining taxon-specific responses to aridity gradients in small mammals over time and across space in the northwestern Great Basin of the United States. The awardee will analyze small mammal bones deposited in caves over the past 16,000 years to test hypotheses about species sensitivity to climate drying and whether ongoing changes in climate or land use pose a...
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...
Dr. Jason Pardo will use a $180,000 National Science Foundation Earth Sciences Postdoctoral Fellowship awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct research and education activities at the Field Museum of Natural History from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2025. The award will support Dr. Pardo's research into respiratory physiology and survivorship of terrestrial species during the end-Permian mass extinction event approximately 252 million years ago, which killed 95% of marine...
This Project Grant award of $457,737 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research by the California Academy of Sciences to model marine paleocommunity dynamics across the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event 251 million years ago. The research aims to challenge uniformitarian assumptions in reconstructing ancient ecosystem food webs and test whether post-extinction communities functioned differently from those during...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in the amount of $152,000. The grant supports a collaborative research project to conduct intensive paleontological and geological recovery at 6-million-year-old sites in order to advance the understanding of hominoid and hominin evolution. The project will retrieve fossil, paleoenvironmental, and geological...
This two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences provides $174,000 to study mammals as indicators of ecological recovery following the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award will support basic research exploring the relationship between topographic diversity and the reestablishment of mammal populations in the aftermath of the extinction. By strengthening understanding of the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $202,138 Project Grant to the University of Washington under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The grant funds a collaborative research project to examine the evolution of North American small mammal communities in response to landscape changes over the past 30 to 5 million years. The researchers will collect fossils and sediment samples from the U.S. Great Plains and Northwest to study how changes in habitat...
This $372,195 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a collaborative research project to study the effects of climate change on mammalian functional diversity using a high-resolution fossil record and novel AI workflows. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year award, which began on November 1, 2024, include: Generating 3D datasets from micro-CT scans of mammalian fossils to characterize functional...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $708,199.00 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to develop a robust, open-source toolkit for analyzing ichthyoliths (microfossil fish teeth and shark scales) to study fish evolution and ecology. The award will fund the creation of a machine learning-based framework for taxonomic classification of ichthyoliths, which will then be used to investigate fish abundance,...
