Project Grant 2524551
- 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...
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of Illinois. The project aims to develop and introduce a novel, equation-based modeling workflow to the geosciences community. This system separates the model design (the equations) from the model implementation (the computer code), allowing geoscientists to focus on building equation systems that represent their areas of expertise. The project consists of three...
- 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 Project Grant award of $172,793 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support a collaborative research project. The goal is to study a geological core sample from the U.S. Midwest that provides a record of the dramatic climate transition from a glacial "icehouse" period to a severe "hothouse" period approximately 300 million years ago, culminating in the largest mass extinction...
- This three-year, $489,305 National Science Foundation Project Grant will support the American Geosciences Institute in conducting research on how geoscience programs have adapted to natural disruptive events. Funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the project aims to examine how such programs have managed impacts, identify operational and pedagogical outcomes that evolved from impacted departments, and determine how the geoscience community has leveraged lessons beyond directly...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $236,141 supports research by Columbia University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2022 to April 30, 2025. The research aims to reconstruct the missing geological record of late Proterozoic tectonism along the western margin of Laurentia using low-temperature thermochronology. Researchers will study the thermal imprint of sedimentary cover on basement rocks beneath major unconformities to fill a one-billion-year gap in the...
- 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 $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 $148,988 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable the University of California Santa Cruz to modify the existing STRABOSPOT digital data system to develop a collaborative environment for researchers to collect and analyze geological data more efficiently. The project will create "group-level workflows" to facilitate collaborative research on subduction zones, a key focus area for the SZ4D (Subduction Zones in Four...
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 with the GTS. By engaging the scientific community to lay the groundwork for an open science GTS, this project will enable broader participation, accelerate data compilation, and increase the GTS's responsiveness to community needs across geoscience disciplines. The award is held by the University of Iowa and has an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2027.
