The National Science Foundation has awarded a three-year $250,000 grant to William Paterson University environmental science professors Michael Griffiths and Martin Becker.
They are leaders in a multi-university collaborative research project on the Biogeochemical Fingerprinting of the Megatoothed (“Megalodon”) Shark: A Dual Study in Thermophysiological Evolution and Seawater Chemistry.
Griffiths and Becker will use the chemistry of ancient shark teeth to reconstruct shark body temperature and dietary behavior, as well as seawater chemistry, dating back 15 million years. The project will examine the relationship between environmental temperature, ocean chemistry, internal body temperature, evolution, and the habitat of various marine vertebrates in different time periods.
WP researchers are collaborating with colleagues from Rutgers University, UCLA, University of California Merced, and DePaul University.
