This grant, offered by the Life and Environments Through Time (LET) Program, is for the purpose of supporting research that significantly advances understanding of Earth’s climate, environments, life, and sedimentary record across geological timescales. From the Archean Eon to the Holocene epoch, supported research investigates patterns and processes at molecular, local, regional, and global scales. Such studies contribute crucial knowledge regarding the origin and evolution of our planet’s systems. Ultimately, research funded by this grant aims to aid in predicting and planning for future global change, thereby contributing to the maintenance and security of vital ecosystem services and human societies.
