About this award
This $135,000.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) supports research into the formation of sinuous channels on Mars. The grant aims to further the understanding of how meandering river systems develop, even in the absence of vegetation, by examining active channels on Earth. NAU, a public research university in Flagstaff, Arizona, will leverage its expertise in planetary science, environmental monitoring, and STEM education to conduct this study. The grant does not carry a set-aside designation, reflecting NAU's competitiveness as a research institution. In addition to this NASA award, NAU has a diverse portfolio of federal contracts and grants, providing services to agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey, Indian Health Service, Department of Defense, and National Park Service across domains like climate change, tribal environmental health, and cultural resource management.
Description
For decades, meandering rivers were thought to only exist in the presence of vegetation. However, the discovery of sinuous ridges on mars containing fluvial-meander-like channel deposits inspired closer examination of active earth channels.
