- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Rutgers, The State University $499,665 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to provide logistical support and core analysis for the Paleogene Earth Perturbations, US Atlantic Coastal Plain (PEP-US) scientific drilling initiative. The project recovers and analyzes marine sediment cores from ten sites (19 coreholes) across the US Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain in New Jersey, Delaware, and Virginia to study the...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded $199,997 to SUNY Broome Community College on July 15, 2025, under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to support a two-year research project extending through June 30, 2027. The project, titled "EMBRACE-EAR-SEED: Refining Paleotemperature Interpretations," delivers fundamental research products focused on understanding how fluid inclusions trapped in halite (salt) crystals...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Yale University $386,921 on July 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to develop next-generation geochemical box models that interpret chemical signals preserved in rocks to reconstruct Earth's early history and evolution. The project, "Bridging Geochemical Observations with Continental Growth and Emergence: A New Modeling Approach with Heterogeneous Crustal Reservoirs," will incorporate finite-time...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the University of Hawaii $464,052 on August 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct experimental research on elemental uptake in marine calcium carbonate minerals for paleoenvironmental applications. The project derives robust functional relationships between elemental incorporation into calcium carbonate and the physical and chemical conditions of mineral precipitation in seawater. Researchers will...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF), through its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), awarded a $175,666 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY), doing business as Stony Brook University. The funding will support collaborative research examining the role of the Porcupine Fault System in the Mesozoic opening of the Arctic Ocean. This study involves a new partnership between early career and senior academic researchers, federal and state/territory...
- The Pennsylvania State University received a two-year, $212,219 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund collaborative research on the behavior of boron during prograde diagenesis and metamorphism of pelagic sediments from the Nankai Trough. As part of its mission to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanding fundamental Earth system knowledge, the NSF Geosciences program supports basic research in...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $411,477 on September 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to fund paleosalinity research in the Maritimes Basin. The recipient will reconstruct changes in marine influence throughout the Late Paleozoic Era using whole-rock elemental paleosalinity proxies—boron/gallium ratios, excess boron, and strontium/gallium ratios—combined with oxygen isotope proxy data. The project identifies intervals in Devonian-Permian sedimentary rocks (approximately 419 to 251 million years old) that were influenced by marine waters and provides new information about water chemistry conditions that shaped the evolution of plant and animal life and the nature and distribution of economic resources in the basin. The geochemical datasets will be interpreted within their sedimentological and paleontological context to test hypotheses about the timing and geographic variability of marine influence. The project also provides hands-on research experience for undergraduate students and teaching and research experience for future K-12 Earth science teachers. Work is performed in Potsdam, New York, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029. The Geosciences program supports basic research to strengthen the national scientific enterprise through expanded fundamental knowledge and increased understanding of the integrated Earth system in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
