About this award
The University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee division, was awarded a $755,173 research grant on January 25, 2022, to conduct a source-to-sink study of mineralogy and geochemistry in a catchment on the margins of a lake in the East African Rift Valley. This research serves as an analog for understanding early Mars aqueous processes, combining field-based geological and geochemical analysis with comparative planetary science methodologies. The work is performed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with an ultimate completion date of January 24, 2027. The grant was issued with no set-aside designation through a civilian federal agency and represents the university's significant research capabilities in environmental science and geological analysis.
This award demonstrates UW-Milwaukee's established role as a premier research institution supporting federal agencies in complex scientific investigations. The project aligns with broader federal interests in planetary science and terrestrial analog studies that inform Mars exploration objectives. As part of the University of Wisconsin System, which maintains extensive federal research partnerships across the National Science Foundation, NASA, Department of Energy, and other agencies, this grant contributes to the system's multidisciplinary research portfolio spanning from fundamental science to applied research initiatives that advance understanding of planetary geology and ancient aqueous environments.
