Project Grant G18AP00009

This $420,316 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program will fund the 28th Annual Meeting of The GLOBE Program, a community that has created an openly accessible database with over 300 million environmental measurements. The meeting will focus on "Climate and Resilience", exploring how GLOBE's science and data can deepen understanding of climate-related issues and increase community resilience. Key meeting strands will address using GLOBE to explore...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program Project Grant award of $100,000 to James Madison University (JMU) will initiate a travel grant program to enable up to 50 early-to-mid career faculty from under-resourced institutions, such as emerging research institutions (ERIs), minority-serving institutions (MSIs), and community colleges, to attend the 2024 Fall American Geophysical Union (AGU) Annual Meeting. In addition to a travel stipend, the awardees will participate in...

This National Science Foundation project grant award of $536,591 provides funding for the 27th Annual Globe Meeting from April 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024. The meeting will focus on open science and how the Globe Program's openly accessible database of over 233 million environmental measurements exemplifies the principles of open data accessibility, a priority of the sponsoring Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Sessions will explore mobilizing data collection beyond borders, expanding...

This $184,750 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support the Interdisciplinary Antarctic Earth Science Conference in 2022 and 2024. The Conference and associated planning workshop will bring together U.S. researchers from bio-, cryo-, geo- and atmospheric sciences conducting Antarctic research. Over a 2.5 day hybrid format, the Conference will facilitate collaboration and data sharing...

The Earth Images Foundation was awarded a $359,902 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Office of Integrative Activities under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant will support the Foundation's work to produce new geo-media content aimed at increasing outreach and promoting diversity in the geosciences. As outlined in the program description, the NSF Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program awarded a $246,408 project grant to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to support a 2.5-day workshop entitled "Future of US Seafloor and Subseafloor Sampling Capabilities". The workshop, to be held in March 2024, will bring together approximately 80 participants from the U.S. oceanographic research community, including early- to mid-career scientists, facility operators, and technical staff. The goal is to...

The U.S. GEOTRACES Project Office, funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), received a $521,274 Project Grant award effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This award supports two years of operational and coordination activities for the Project Office based at Columbia University in Palisades, New York. The primary deliverables include personnel support, workshop facilitation, and synthesis activities...

This $249,924 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of a long-lived, continuously operating seafloor geodesy reference station capable of operating in deep water. The grantee, Princeton University, will investigate using acoustic signals that only need to travel from the sea surface to the seafloor, removing the prior 3,000 meter depth limitation of existing seafloor geodesy techniques. This new approach involves...

The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi a $330,818 Project Grant under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to acquire a portable geoprobe system with subsurface sampling, logging, and imaging capabilities. The two-year award period runs from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The portable geoprobe system will enhance the university's geoscience research and education efforts by allowing researchers...

This $563,190 National Science Foundation Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will support the development of a community-driven roadmap to advance broadening participation goals in the geoscience community over the next 50 years. The University of Texas at Austin will convene a conference for stakeholders from academia, industry, professional organizations, and government agencies to reflect on past efforts and cultivate new partnerships to support diversity, equity and...
