Gradual deterioration of marine and terrestrial environments during the Late Permian and persistence of inhospitable conditions through the Early Triassic suggest that intrinsic factors were important, but an extinction rate peak, abrupt lithofacies changes, and geochemical anomalies associated with the end-Permian event horizon are evidence of a catastrophic event (e.g., massive volcanic eruption, bolide impact, and/or large-scale oceanic overturn). Despite long study of the PTB, there are remarkably few integrated, high-resolution chemostratigraphic studies of marine boundary sections that can address critical questions related to the extent and intensity of Permo-Triassic deep-ocean anoxia, patterns of upwelling of toxic deep-ocean waters onto shallow-marine shelves and platforms, the relationship of such events to contemporaneous changes in seawater carbonate saturation and to the delayed recovery of marine biotas, controls on the post-extinction global negative C-isotope shift, and the relative timing and causal relationship of PTB crises in the marine and terrestrial realms. In this project, we propose to generate geochemical proxy datasets consisting of magnetic susceptibility, elemental concentrations, TOC-TIC, ?Ô13Ccarb-?Ô13Corg, S-Fe speciation, ?Ô34Ssulfide-?Ô34Ssulfate, REEs, and biomarkers for a total of 19 sections in eight study areas, including 8 sections in four areas of the former Panthalassic Ocean (the Cache Creek terrane, Western Sedimentary Basin, and Sverdrup Basin of Canada, and the Maitai-Waipapa terranes of New Zealand) and 11 sections in four areas of the former Tethys Ocean (Vietnam-China, India, Iran, and Italy). Conodont biostratigraphy combined with C-isotope and MS event stratigraphy will facilitate correlations within and between study areas. Paleoceanographic modeling will be used to investigate the effects of potential forcings on Permo-Triassic ocean chemistry and sedimentary fluxes, and comparisons with globally integrated chemostratigraphic datasets will allow refinement of model simulations. This project has the potential to yield important new findings regarding events at the Permian-Triassic boundary and key insights regarding proximate and ultimate controls on contemporaneous chemical oceanographic perturbations.\n Investigation of catastrophic climate and environmental change associated with the largest mass extinction in Earth history should be of considerable interest to both the Earth-science community and the scientifically literate public.

To address the problem of the \"Cyberinfrastructure (CI) Gap\" between EPSCoR and non-EPSCoR jurisdictions, KY NSF EPSCoR proposes hosting a workshop that will expand on the groundwork developed at previous meetings and will ultimately result in a collaborative plan/proposal for proactively addressing CI in the EPSCoR jurisdictions. EPSCoR workshop participants will have CI expertise and performed an assessment within their respective jurisdictions to be able to present the current status of CI across the community. The first day of the workshop will consist of presentations by experts in CI from the EPSCoR jurisdictions about the capabilities and needs of the CI in their jurisdictions. Also included will be presentations by experts outside of the EPSCoR community who have set up interstate CI structures, such as networks and grids. The presentations by the outside experts will be focused on practical CI applications. The second day of the workshop will summarize the plans and extract common elements. This will lead to a coordinated plan for EPSCoR jurisdictions to share resources, e.g. a grid of computational resources with the appropriate software and expertise to make it function as a powerful scientific engine, and to provide easy access to other resources such as the NSF Teragrid.\n\nIntellectual Merit\nNSF recognizes that developing CI is inherently necessary for the nation to balance its research portfolio and to enhance the intellectual merit of future research. Cyberinfrastructure represents a changing platform for enabling the future of academic research. As this technology evolves, the EPSCoR jurisdictions run the risk of being left behind technically advanced states with robust network connections and sizable investments in high-end computing. In addition, EPSCoR jurisdictions represent diverse populations and a broad range of CI needs and conditions. The plan will position EPSCoR jurisdictions to develop the capabilities needed for future science and educational competitiveness. The results of this workshop can be carried on to the EPSCoR Annual Meeting in Hawaii where additional planning by EPSCoR jurisdiction project directors can formalize planning efforts and will ultimately result in a collaborative plan/proposal for proactively addressing CI in the EPSCoR jurisdictions.\n\nBroader Impacts\nThe broader impacts of the workshop include developing an EPSCoR-wide collaborative effort to actively address and shape the jurisdictions' response to the changing nature of academic research. This plan will necessarily include educational and training components, as there is a critical shortage of trained people in the EPSCoR jurisdictions to operate and maintain modern CI. The assessment will include CI needs for tribal and community colleges.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5400", "attributes": { "award_id": "0748453", "title": "Workshop on Frontiers in Electronics to be held on December 15-19, 2007 in Royal Park Hotel, Cozumel, Mexico", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "EPMD-ElectrnPhoton&MagnDevices" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 18890, "first_name": "Usha", "last_name": "Varshney", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2007-09-01", "end_date": "2008-12-31", "award_amount": 10000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18891, "first_name": "Michael", "last_name": "Shur", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 148, "ror": "https://ror.org/01rtyzb94", "name": "Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "NY", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 148, "ror": "https://ror.org/01rtyzb94", "name": "Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "NY", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Objective:\nThe objective of this proposal is to request funds from NSF to enable students and junior faculty to participate in the ?Workshop on Frontiers in Electronics? to be held 0n December 15-19, 2007 in Royal park Hotel, Cozumel, Mexico. This conference is held every three years to review the rapid pace of electronic technology evolution that compels a merger of many technical areas. Examples of some of the areas that will be explored are bioelectronics, MEMS/NEMS, Silicon nanoelectronics and Beyond, High Speed Communications, etc.\n\nIntellectual Merit:\nThe main purpose of this workshop is to gather experts and to encourage cross fertilization of people with different technical backgrounds. The experts will be gathered from academia, industry, and government to review the recent breakthroughs and their underlying physical mechanisms. The workshop will also explore nature of the future challenges in this ?electronic Planet?. The workshop also plans to prepare archival proceedings of peer reviewed article for broad distribution.

At present, 10 to 30% of total oceanic biological production occurs in the coastal ocean, near 80% of the terrigenous material mass reaching the ocean is deposited there, and as much as 50% of total calcium carbonate and 80% of total organic carbon accumulation in the ocean occur in this region. At the end of pre-industrial time, nearly 200 years ago, biological calcification and remineralization of organic carbon produced in situ and imported from land might have been responsible for 30% to 50% of the CO2 emission from the surface ocean to the atmosphere. At the millennial to centurial time scale since the LGM near 18,000 years before present and into the next two centuries of the Anthropocene, the coastal ocean, because of its relatively small size, is particularly susceptible to environmental changes in its bigger neighboring reservoirs of atmosphere, land, open ocean, and sediments. For the same reason, it transmits and modulates rapidly the external and internal forcings of the past and the near future. \n\nIn this project, researchers at the University of Hawaii - Manoa and Northwestern University will address four important, but not well understood, issues of the role of the coastal ocean in the global carbon cycle and air-sea CO2 exchange in the time period since near the LGM to the end of pre-industrial time and into the future two centuries of the Industrial Age. The role of the coastal ocean is a global role and the research accordingly focuses on obtaining global or world-average answers. These will be handled by model analysis developed from the investogators? dynamic process models that have been successfully applied to the shorter time periods of the Industrial Age and the future two to three centuries. Success of the models? application is in their agreement with the results of others? estimates for the industrial past and future. The model analysis will produce estimates of the major processes that interact with the CO2 transfer: the removal of carbon and other nutrients from land, sedimentary storage of organic and inorganic carbon as affected by seawater chemistry and surface water acidification, biological production on land and in the coastal zone, the CO2 and temperature role in mineral weathering, and the CO2 air-sea exchange of the coastal ocean. \n\nThe broader impacts of this proposal are its relevance to the societal issues and policy decisions involved in the understanding of the biogeochemical fundamentals of global change and, particularly, of the role of the heavily human-impacted coastal ocean in the global carbon cycle in the past and on into the future. Additional impacts involve undergraduate and graduate education, and dissemination of information by means of a web site allowing the community access to the models and results, and presentations at professional meetings. Finally, the behavior of the coastal ocean domain in the past and future is critical to any analysis of the Earth system undergoing both natural and human-induced environmental change.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5289", "attributes": { "award_id": "0750523", "title": "Chemical Synthesis of Water-Soluble Nanoscale Structures", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "BIMOLECULAR PROCESSES" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2008-05-15", "end_date": "2012-04-30", "award_amount": 383000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18623, "first_name": "James", "last_name": "Nowick", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 177, "ror": "", "name": "University of California-Irvine", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 177, "ror": "", "name": "University of California-Irvine", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "With support from the Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry Program at the National Science Foundation for this new award, Professor James Nowick, of the Department of Chemistry at University of California- Irvine, will provide a facile bottom-up approach to the creation of water-soluble nanometer scale three-dimensional structures that are based on peptides. Targets include a \"sphere\", 1.9 nm in diameter, a \"tetrahedron\", 2.0 nm on edge, and a \"cube\", 2.3 nm on edge. The structures are based on a family of nanometer-scale amino acids, Abc2K, developed by the principal investigator. These amino acids have already been used to create water-soluble molecular rods up to 10 nanometers in length and water-soluble rings, triangles, and parallelograms up to 3 nanometers in size. These amino acids will be combined with triphenylmethane bridgehead groups to generate bi-, tetra- and hexacyclic three-dimensional structures with well-defined architectures. The principal investigator will also develop a novel kinetic resolution strategy to solve stereochemical problems associated with the syntheses of these structures. NMR spectroscopy in conjunction with molecular modeling and possibly X-ray crystallography will be used to elucidate structural features of these nanometer-scale three-dimensional molecules.\n\n\nWith this award, Professor Nowick will demonstrate that peptides are exceptionally easy to synthesize and handle, making them accessible to a wide range of researchers with only access to some simple synthesis equipment, an HPLC, and perhaps an ESI mass spectrometer. Water-soluble structures are especially well suited to biological applications, which certainly represents an important future direction of nanotechnology. The development of these structures will fill an area that is largely missing among nanoscale structures with well-defined geometries, for example, water-soluble peptide structures on a nanometer scale in all three dimensions. Undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students working on this project will be trained to perform cutting-edge research in the laboratory and will also learn to effectively communicate their results to others by presenting their work in seminars, at meetings, and through publication. Students trained on the project will go on to careers in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry, or academia, and will thus contribute to the US scientific endeavor and the economy. The nanometer-scale structures that are developed will likely be of widespread interest among scientists and engineers involved in nanotechnology. Information will be disseminated on these structures through publication and seminars and materials will be shared with other researchers where appropriate. Professor Nowick will continue to run the UCI Chemistry Outreach Program, which he created in 1992 to bring the excitement of science to K-12 students and to help reach students in underrepresented groups. The program sends undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students to K-12 schools to make presentations that include lively demonstrations and engaging discussion. Descriptions of the nanometer-scale scale structures, and the associated role of chemistry in nanotechnology, will be incorporated into the discussion.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5271", "attributes": { "award_id": "0751761", "title": "The LDEO Deep-Sea Sample Repository and the Curating and Maintenance of the Sediment Library and Dredge Collection", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Geosciences (GEO)", "Marine Geology and Geophysics" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 18576, "first_name": "Barbara", "last_name": "Ransom", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2008-04-01", "end_date": "2011-03-31", "award_amount": 515019, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18581, "first_name": "G.

The collection provides a service to national and international researchers who study ocean floor sediments. Total size of the collection is ~19,000 cores and 3,750 dredges and grab samples. During the past three-years over 20,000 samples from the collection were distributed to 75 scientists and 85 teachers. During the last five years there have been 109 publications based upon samples from this repository that cover topics related to our present and past climate, other environmental studies, and studies of cosmic impacts. It is anticipated that during the period of this award, the repository will distribute some 7000 samples to the global research community, describe and archive 500 dredge/grab samples, and describe and store, in refrigerated containers, over 100 piston cores. Continuing goals are to upgrade digital accessibility to the collection for long-term reliable service, administration, a public interface to carry out searching and browsing of the sample catalog and assured interoperability with external systems such as NOAA-NGDC and to enhance data mining by parsing core and dredge descriptions into the database and subsequently visualizing the information using tools developed at LDEO. A one year pilot project will conduct calcium carbonate measurements on un-sampled and sparsely-sampled cores to promote their near-term use for investigations of past and rapid climate change. The LDEO core repository is a resource for research and teaching in every field of marine science.
