Projects

Improved Climate Records and New Biodesign StrategiesThrough a Mechanistic Understanding of Sub-Micron Heterogeneity in Environmental Materials

Lead Institution

University of Washington

Principal Investigator

Alexander Gagnon

Project type

Special Science

From the pace of the ice ages to how the carbon cycle has changed through time, much of what we know about earth history and climate dynamics is based on proxies. Recorded as trace element anomalies…

Deciphering the Chemical Language of Organic-Mineral Interactions to Develop New Biodesign Strategies and Improve Climate Records

Lead Institution

University of Washington

Principal Investigator

Alexander Gagnon

Project type

Exploratory Research

The shape and pace of skeletal growth in shells and bones are controlled though a complex set of interactions between biologically produced organic compounds and the growing mineral. If we could…

Improving the accuracy and reliability of Earth system reconstructions by quantifying mechanisms that modulate sub-micron heterogeneity in marine calcifiers

Lead Institution

Oregon State University

Principal Investigator

Jennifer Fehrenbacher

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Reconstructions of Earth's biogeochemical history, the interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, and global environmental conditions, are commonly based on reconstructions generated using…
