About this award
The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York was awarded a $422,052.94 research grant by the Shared Services Center on October 26, 2020, with a completion date of October 25, 2024. The research initiative, titled "3-D Modeling of a Secondary Ancient Lunar Atmosphere: The Effect on Volatile Distribution," aims to advance understanding of tenuous atmospheres on small celestial bodies. This non-set-aside grant supports fundamental scientific research conducted at Columbia University's New York campus and represents collaborative work between the university's Sponsored Projects Administration Division and the federal government to explore planetary science questions relevant to lunar science and comparative planetology.
The project contributes to broader scientific objectives in space exploration and geosciences by investigating how volatile compounds were distributed in the Moon's ancient atmosphere and how atmospheric conditions may have influenced their deposition and preservation. This research has implications for understanding similar atmospheric processes on other small bodies throughout the solar system. Columbia University's extensive track record in federal research funding across multiple scientific disciplines, including support from agencies such as NASA and the National Science Foundation, positions the institution well to execute this specialized lunar science research initiative.
