About this award
The University of Chicago was awarded a $256,831 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct scientific research on modeling the drying out of Mars. The specific focus of this research involves improving fundamental knowledge of how partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) affects the elevation and latitude distribution of surface liquid water potential, with the intent to apply these findings to understanding Martian atmospheric and hydrological processes. The grant is classified as a non-set-aside competitive award with a completion date of February 28, 2025, and represents the type of basic science research that aligns with NASA's planetary science and astrobiology missions. The place of performance is located in Chicago, Illinois.
As a leading research institution with extensive federal partnerships, the University of Chicago brings substantial capabilities in climate science, computational modeling, and interdisciplinary research to this initiative. The university has a demonstrated track record of receiving significant research funding from agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy, with particular strength in atmospheric sciences and materials research relevant to planetary studies. This award enables the institution to contribute to fundamental scientific understanding of planetary processes that could inform future Mars exploration missions and climate science applications.
Description
There is a pressing need to improve our basic knowledge of the effect of PCO2 on the elevation+latitude distribution of surface liquid water potential, and to apply that improved understanding to the drying-out of mars.
