- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $534,841 to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct collaborative research on the causes and effects of Earth's Great Oxidation event, which led to the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere and the development of macroscopic life. The project will analyze rock cores from Gabon to determine if chemical shifts in ~2.4-2.0 billion-year-old rocks reflect global or regional/local oxygen...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) project grant, awarded to Purdue University, will provide $472,478 to support collaborative research that aims to elucidate the causes and effects of Earth's Great Oxidation Event, a critical period in the planet's history marked by the accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere. The research team will analyze rock cores from Gabon, which hosts a well-preserved sedimentary record of this interval, to assess whether extreme...
- The Trustees of Princeton University were awarded a $228,080 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant falls under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the September 1, 2021 award will fund a collaborative research project through August 31, 2026 to test the hypothesis that reduction of aerobic habitat...
- This $563,629 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports a collaborative research project to assess global oxygen inventory, trends, and variability through the intercomparison of observation-based gridded datasets. The key objectives are to: 1) identify causes of disagreements between different gridded oxygen datasets by conducting an intercomparison of oxygen data from in situ observational and model-based profiles, and 2) promote...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $104,601 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY) at the Geneseo campus. The grant, effective November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, supports collaborative research to develop an integrated understanding of the Late Devonian Earth system, with a focus on ocean-climate-biosphere interactions during this critical period in Earth's history. Key objectives include: 1)...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project to investigate how the availability of marine nutrients may have fueled the expansion and ecological transformation of eukaryotic organisms during the Tonian period (1000-720 million years ago). The $411,079 award, spanning July 2025 to June 2030, involves researchers from five U.S. universities, including one postdoctoral fellow, five graduate...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $321,593 to Montana State University for collaborative research on the biogeochemical and microbial processes involved in the oxidation of pyrite minerals and the resulting composition of sulfate. The goal is to better understand how this record of pyrite oxidation in sulfate minerals can be used as a proxy to reconstruct ancient atmospheric conditions and global biogeochemical...
- 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 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 Project Grant award of $519,422.00, funded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports research to investigate the terminal Ediacaran stage and early animal evolution at the Nevada National Security Site. The project will uncover and analyze fossils preserved in ancient rocks at this previously inaccessible site, providing new insights into the earliest animals and how they shaped Earth's ecosystems. The research team will employ high-resolution imaging,...
