Yale University received $386,921 in federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for a three-year project awarded July 1, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2029. The award funds development of next-generation geochemical box models that incorporate previously neglected physical and chemical processes, including finite-time mantle mixing, compositional heterogeneity in mantle and crustal reservoirs, and age-dependent crustal recycling. The modeling framework will integrate multiple observational constraints from global detrital zircon age-isotope datasets and geochemical data from olivine-hosted melt inclusions, utilizing computationally efficient Monte Carlo approaches to establish quantitative mass-balance constraints on continental crust and depleted mantle compositions. The project will deliver a unified, extensible analytical platform enabling researchers to test competing hypotheses regarding crust-mantle differentiation and to generate testable predictions about Earth's chemical and physical evolution. By bridging geochemical observations with continental growth processes, the research aims to improve understanding of Earth's early habitability and evolution over geological time, with potential applications to the study of other rocky planets. The award incorporates broader impacts through student research support and science outreach engagement with local schools to advance workforce development in the geosciences.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
