The University of Alabama received a $240,553 research grant awarded June 1, 2019, with completion targeted for August 31, 2024, from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center. The grant supports high-precision chronological and cosmochemical studies of achondrite melt clasts to constrain the impact flux in the inner solar system. The research employs petrographic and isotopic characterization techniques to investigate the impact chronology of melt and lithic clasts within achondrite meteorites, with particular comparison to melt clasts and glasses from lunar samples that display a notable age cluster at approximately 3.9 billion years ago. This lunar age clustering is believed to reflect either the conclusion of a period of heavy bombardment or a sudden lunar cataclysm. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating open competition based on technical merit. The research aims to provide valuable information about the extent and prevalence of lunar impact scenarios by identifying similar melt characteristics and ages within other meteoritic material from the asteroid belt and inner planets. The University of Alabama's Office for Sponsored Programs executed this award, leveraging the institution's comprehensive research capabilities in materials science, cosmochemistry, and planetary science to advance understanding of solar system formation and early planetary bombardment history. This work contributes to the broader scientific knowledge base regarding terrestrial planet impact histories and conditions during the early solar system's development.
