Project Grant 2524549
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $151,544 will fund collaborative research to develop an open science framework for constructing and revising the Geological Time Scale (GTS). The project aims to: 1) document the existing data, metadata, and algorithms used to build the GTS; 2) design a findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) data system for the GTS; and 3) create public-facing online tools to visualize and experiment...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award of $282,421, with a period of performance from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, is funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project aims to develop a modern chronostratigraphy and paleoenvironment reconstruction for the Naran Bulak and Gashato Formations in Mongolia, which contain an important fossil mammal record from the early Paleogene period (66-48 million years ago). The research will apply high-precision...
- This $201,076 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (under the CFDA program "Computer and Information Science and Engineering") aims to integrate two data systems, MacroStrat and Sedimentary Geochemistry and Paleoenvironments (SGP), to better link geochemical proxy records to crustal stratigraphic context. Key activities include: Connecting SGP sample data to MacroStrat's geologic units and columns Developing new web...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $499,943 to the American Geophysical Union (AGU) will support the development of community-vetted, disciplinary-specific data sharing frameworks and a web platform to implement those frameworks in the target disciplines of hydrology, oceans, and seismology. The goal is to build coalitions and engage stakeholders including researchers, publishers, and data managers to drive these scientific disciplines...
- This $150,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using deep-time thermochronology. Three early-career researchers and twelve students from multiple universities will investigate ancient supercontinent breakup using geochemical signatures from rock heating and cooling during deposition and erosion....
- The Boise State University received a $123,242 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The award will support the development of a proof-of-concept geoelectric monitoring system to advance research and education in hydrogeophysics through June 2023. The grant is part of the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated...
- This $108,236 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the Neotoma Paleoecology Database, a high-quality, expert-curated open data resource for paleoecological and paleoenvironmental data. The award will enhance Neotoma's systems to enable higher rates of data additions, streamlined data curation, and improved support for new communities studying biodiversity dynamics driven by environmental change. Key activities include...
- This $429,750 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of a prototype platform, the Tephra Information Portal (TIP), to improve curation, integration, sharing, and discovery of Earth science data. The lead institution, Concord University, will collaborate with partners to build upon existing cyberinfrastructure and integrate geoinformatics resources to create a centralized catalog and access point for curated...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $317,272 will fund the development of new computational methods to simulate and advance the understanding of the dynamic interplay between the Earth's surface and interior processes. The principal awardee, the University of Colorado, will couple two widely used community codes - ASPECT (originally for simulating mantle dynamics) and LANDLAB (for modeling surface processes) - to enable...
- This $130,076 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The grant funds a collaborative research project to model marine paleocommunity dynamics across the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event 251 million years ago. The project aims to reconstruct ancient ecosystem food webs and test uniformitarian assumptions about paleo-food web...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will provide $143,164 to Boise State University to build a framework for an open science approach to constructing the Geological Time Scale (GTS). The key goals are to: a) discover and translate existing data, metadata, and algorithms behind the GTS to establish community-driven best practices; b) design a Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data system to manage GTS information; and c) develop public-facing tools to allow broader community visualization and experimentation with the GTS. By engaging a collaborative research team to lay this open science groundwork, the project aims to accelerate data compilation and responsiveness of the authoritative GTS to evolving geoscience needs. The award has an initial period of performance from Jan 1, 2026 to Dec 31, 2027.
