This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This study will quantitatively reconstruct deep ocean carbonate chemistry changes across the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum to determine the degree of ocean acidification during a past period of high CO2 and extreme warming. The PIs will generate records from multiple sites in different water depths and different oceans using palaeontological, geochemical, and modeling techniques. There will be particular focus on the application of two Boron-based proxies for ocean pH. Ocean acidification is a topic of great societal concern because of its impact on marine organisms and on the rate at which the ocean can absorb additional CO2 from the atmosphere. The research will involve graduate and undergraduate students at the four participating institutions.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。这项研究将定量重建整个古新世-始新世热最大的深海碳酸盐化学变化，以确定在过去的高二氧化碳和极端变暖时期海洋酸化的程度。PI将使用古生物学、地球化学和建模技术，从不同水深和不同海洋的多个地点生成记录。将特别关注两个基于硼的海洋pH值代理的应用。海洋酸化是一个社会关注的话题，因为它对海洋生物的影响和海洋从大气中吸收额外二氧化碳的速度。这项研究将涉及四个参与机构的研究生和本科生。
