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...
- The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (SUNY Potsdam) was awarded a three-year, $370,113 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences. The grant supports research titled "RUI: A SEDIMENTOLOGICAL AND SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHIC FRAMEWORK FOR CARBON ISOTOPIC SAMPLING AND INTERPRETATION" conducted under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050). This Project Grant will fund research from September 2021 through August 2024 to strengthen...
- 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)...
- The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF-SUNY) was awarded a $162,673 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The grant supports collaborative research to understand environmental conditions during occupation and abandonment of the Moundville archaeological site in Alabama through analysis of sediment cores from nearby Touson...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, operating as Stony Brook University, $331,757 on September 1, 2026, for collaborative research on trait-based prediction of microbial successional dynamics in thawing permafrost soils under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The project develops artificial intelligence and machine-learning tools to analyze microbial DNA sequences combined with...
- The Stony Brook University Research Foundation received a three-year, $201,164 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences to support research integrating tectonics, surface processes and paleobiodiversity using numerical and observational approaches. The grant was awarded June 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to strengthen the geosciences through basic research of the integrated Earth system. Specifically, the funding will support...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (RF SUNY) $713,630 on October 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to build an open science community and establish shared standards and tools for biomarker research in the geosciences. The project will develop community-driven standards for biomarker data—chemicals produced by organisms that provide evidence of Earth's distant past—and create a modular workflow linking sample analysis and data processing to standardize reporting across laboratories. RF SUNY will integrate biomarker data into existing geoscientific open-access databases including the Neotoma Paleoecology Database and Linked Earth, conduct community workshops and pilot analyses to advance adoption of these resources, and support workforce training for students and early-career researchers. The effort aims to overcome differences across biomarker laboratories that currently hinder integrated data analyses, enabling synthesis across geoscience applications and supporting innovation in artificial intelligence through broad access to standardized, integrated data. Performance occurs in Buffalo, New York, with a period of performance from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. No subawards are planned for this award. 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.
