This is a $299,294.67 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a research project focused on mapping and modeling Martian alluvial fans to better understand past climate conditions and potential habitable environments on the planet. The work will involve analyzing high-resolution imagery, topographic data, and spectral information to differentiate sediment flow deposits and reconstruct the evolutionary sequence of the fans. Hydraulic modeling will also be conducted to infer water volume and duration associated with fan formation. This interdisciplinary investigation aligns with NASA's Mars Data Analysis Program objectives and multiple goals of the Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group, including characterizing past geologic environments and climate on Mars. The grant does not utilize any set-aside designations, indicating PSI's technical competitiveness in this research area.
