- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support collaborative research to investigate the links between crustal and surface processes and their impacts on the biosphere in western Anatolia, Turkey. The $300,431 award to Idaho State University will combine datasets on Earth's crust, basin evolution, and surface elevation to understand how mountain formation may have impacted faunal migration in this region over the past several...
- This three-year National Science Foundation Project Grant of $1,056,000 supports research into the assembly and demise of an Eocene mammal fauna on the former island of Balkanatolia in modern-day Turkey. Under the award, the University of Kansas Center for Research will study newly discovered 44-million-year-old vertebrate fossil deposits to investigate factors influencing island assemblages across geological timescales in the region. The awardee will reconstruct phylogenetic relationships of...
- This $200,194 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on the 2023 earthquake sequence in southeastern Türkiye. The research aims to improve understanding of how large continental earthquakes occur and what factors control their source properties along mature active fault zones. The project will analyze seismic data collected from an extensive network of seismic stations deployed across the 2023 earthquake...
- This $200,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will support research to investigate long-term ecological and evolutionary responses of small mammals to environmental change across western North America and East Africa over the past 23 million years. The project, led by researchers at the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Stony Brook University), aims to generate and analyze multi-proxy data from...
- This $147,302 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will fund collaborative research at Dartmouth College to develop a new geological framework for understanding key events in Earth's history during the early Paleogene period (~66-48 million years ago). The researchers will apply modern, high-precision age-dating techniques to the sedimentological and mammal fossil records of the Naran Bulak and Gashato Formations in Mongolia. This...
- 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...
- 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 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 $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...
- This $143,870 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project led by Lycoming College to investigate late Devonian paleobiology in the Appalachian Basin. The researchers will collect and analyze rock and fossil samples from surface and subsurface locations to examine the link between environmental extremes and vertebrate habitats during the late Devonian period, approximately 360 million years ago. This...
