- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded the Smithsonian Institution $354,472 on August 1, 2026, to conduct collaborative research on magma sources and formation through high-pressure and high-temperature laboratory experiments and mathematical modeling. The recipient will use electron microprobe and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analyses to measure the oxidation state of iron in peridotite samples and examine how oxygen fugacity varies between...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences awarded Oregon State University $499,008 for a Project Grant on March 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The project conducts high-resolution 40Ar/39Ar age-determination experiments on lava samples from the Manihiki and Hikurangi plateaus to establish the timing and duration of their emplacement and test whether eruptions from Ontong Java Nui, a massive large igneous province, coincided with and potentially caused...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences awarded the Berkeley Geochronology Center (BGC), a non-profit organization, a $138,373 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to reconstruct southern Caribbean climate variability using coral and speleothem proxies. This 3-year grant, awarded on September 1, 2023, will support BGC's research to generate precisely dated records of local temperature and aridity from reef ecosystems and cave environments on the...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded Carnegie Institution of Washington $401,892 on October 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct statistical analysis and numerical modeling of Earth's magnetic field during the period when the planet's inner core began to solidify, approximately 700 to 550 million years ago. The project will analyze paleomagnetic intensity and directional data from open-source databases covering the period around inner core...
