This grant, offered by the US Geological Survey, is for supporting research within the Californian CESU focusing on the response of foraminifera to two significant past periods of global warmth: the mid-Pliocene and the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). The mid-Pliocene provides insights into sustained warmth comparable to near-future projections, while the PETM serves as a natural analogue for rapid temperature increases. The primary purpose is to leverage these periods as natural laboratories to enhance understanding of ecosystem responses to elevated or rapidly rising temperatures. The research will specifically investigate biotic patterns of foraminifera during these epochs by characterizing species assemblage changes through rigorous statistical analyses. This initiative aims to provide crucial data on how marine ecosystems adapt to climate change.

| Description: | The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity to members of the Californian CESU to support research into the response of foraminifera to two past periods of global warmth: the mid-Pliocene and the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). While the mid-Pliocene (~3 Ma) is the most recent sustained period of global warmth similar in global average temperature to what is projected for the near future, the PETM (~56 Ma) is the closest natural analog to the modern rate of temperature rise. Both offer natural laboratories to better understand the response of ecosystems to elevated or rapidly increasing temperatures. The overarching objective of this agreement is to investigate biotic patterns of foraminifera during the mid-Pliocene and the Paleocene-Eocene by characterizing species assemblage changes through statistical analyses. |
