- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Florida $267,995 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study Early Eocene plant fossils across 12 sites in Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah spanning high-elevation to basin-interior paleoenvironmental settings. The research team will establish refined chronologies for the sites, develop a comprehensive taxonomic dataset of fossil plants including leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Wyoming $343,318 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to study Early Eocene plant fossils from 12 sites across Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah spanning high elevation, mountain-proximal, basin interior, and paleofluvial settings. The project will establish precise chronologies for each site, develop a comprehensive taxonomic dataset of fossil plants including leaves, flowers, fruits,...
- The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $396,676 project grant to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois. The grant will fund research to investigate the early history of tropical forests and the rise of flowering plants during the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 100-145 million years ago. The researchers will examine well-preserved Early Cretaceous plant fossils from Colombia and Ecuador to reconstruct past vegetation...
- The Research Foundation of the City University of New York received a three-year, $114,348 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support collaborative research on paleoenvironmental and paleoecological responses to climate change in the early Eocene climatic optimum. The grant falls under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded Utah State University $362,421 on April 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program to analyze siliceous microfossils from deep-sea sediments and reconstruct ancient silicate weathering rates during two major climate events in Earth history. The project will develop and calibrate a germanium/silicon proxy using radiolarian microfossils from modern sediments, then apply this proxy to generate down-core records from International...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded $337,950 to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) for the project "Collaborative Research: Paleoenvironmental and Paleoecological Responses to Climate Change in the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum" from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. Under this three-year Project Grant, the University of Nebraska will conduct research to strengthen understanding of...
- This $599,996 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Baylor University on April 1, 2024. The project, titled "Cells to Ecosystems: Fossil Xylem is the Missing Link in Reconstructing Water Use by Plants, Forests, and Global Vegetation in Deep Time", aims to establish a database of plant stem traits from fossil xylem to understand how plant communities responded to major ancient climate change events. Key objectives include...
- This $116,693 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to illuminate fundamental climate processes that influenced terrestrial ecology in western Pangea during Earth's previous icehouse period. Key goals combine paleontology, isotope geochemistry, and magnetostratigraphy to: identify the stratigraphic position of the Carboniferous-Permian boundary in Utah's Cutler Group sedimentary rocks; determine the pace and...
