The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) has been awarded a $663,488.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the evolution of the north and south polar caps on Mars using daily maps from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) and Mars Color Imager (MARCI) instruments. The research period runs from Mars Year 24 to Mars Year 36, with a final completion date of August 31, 2027. This award is part of NASA's broader Mars Exploration Program, which supports...
The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) was awarded a $153,354 grant contract (80NSSC25K7157) from a U.S. Civilian federal agency to execute a balanced science program based on discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. As a key partner in the agency's exploration initiative, UNR will focus on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond, as well as advance discovery in emerging fields through...
This federal contract award was granted to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $453,879.00 grant is for a research project titled "CONSTRAINING PARENTAL MELT COMPOSITIONS AND MINERAL FORMATION IN MARTIAN NAKHLITE AND CHASSIGNITE METEORITES". The award has an ultimate completion date of October 26, 2025. No set-aside designation...
This federal contract award is for a grant to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), to study the formation and alteration of whitlockite and merrillite phosphate minerals in Martian meteorites. The research aims to understand the effects of shock on these minerals and how they can provide insights into past Martian atmospheric and hydrosphere conditions. The grant, worth $157,067.65, is funded by the Solar...
This federal contract award, valued at $416,916.23, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) to develop and apply advanced signal processing and image filtering techniques to generate highly accurate, detailed, and temporally resolved maps of vertical land motion across the Earth's continents using GPS data. The goal is to improve the understanding of deep Earth processes, anthropogenic lithospheric processes, and dynamic...
The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), operating through its Sponsored Projects Division, was awarded a $104,182.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to evaluate a methodology for archiving forest stands in three dimensions. The goal is to provide rapidly-collected baseline information to examine changes in vegetation. This grant-funded research contract does not have a set-aside designation and is intended to be completed by August 31, 2025. UNR, as the prime...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC20M0130, is a $99,881.00 Cooperative Agreement between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) Board of Regents. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is a renewal of a previous grant entitled "ROCK, H2O and H2: Energy from Water-Rock Interactions on Mars." The purpose of this contract is to support research and development related to extended human...
The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), operating through its Sponsored Projects Division, has been awarded a $477,583.00 grant for research by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The grant is for the development of a sophisticated 3-dimensional signal processing and image filtering technique called GPS Imaging, which generates robust images of vertical land motion. This research builds upon previous work by the university on median-based estimators for GPS data. The award...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $92,616 grant for research to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The research will investigate igneous rock compositions and processes on Mars by studying sedimentary and hydrothermally altered rocks found on the Martian surface. These altered rocks provide insight into the igneous protoliths underlying them. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas will perform this work under the oversight of the State of Nevada...
The Board of Regents of Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), has been awarded a $570,789 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct a comprehensive petrological and geochemical study of understudied Martian poikilitic shergottite meteorites. The research aims to further understand the formation processes and evolution of the Martian interior through analysis of these meteorite...
