The National Science Foundation's Frontier Research in Earth Sciences program gave more than $1.28 million to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, the largest in the museum's history.
DENVER — The Denver Museum of Nature & Science was awarded the largest research grant in its history.
A team of 12 different kinds of scientists from seven institutions across the country are working together to better understand the ecological and environmental changes that occurred on land after dinosaurs and other living organisms went extinct during the Cretaceous era. "Over the next five years, we are looking forward to building some amazing datasets to expand our knowledge of how and when life on land rebounded after Earth’s last mass extinction event 66 million years ago. And we can’t wait to share our amazing fossil discoveries with the world," said Dr. Tyler Lyson, the museum's curator of vertebrate paleontology.
It completely changed the course of life as we know it today, the museum wrote in its news release Thursday.
