About this award

Arizona State University (ASU), operating through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa), received a $368,840 research grant award on October 15, 2021, from a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of October 14, 2026. The grant supports scientific research investigating cryovolcanism on icy moons throughout the solar system, including celestial bodies such as Charon, Enceladus, and Ariel. Cryovolcanism—the eruption of water, ice, and dissolved volatiles onto a planetary body's surface—appears to have played a significant role in the resurfacing of these moons, and this research aims to advance understanding of these geological processes and their implications for planetary science. The work will be performed at ASU's campus in Tempe, Arizona, and no small business set-aside designation was applied to this award.

This award represents part of ASU's substantial portfolio of federal research funding, with the university serving as a comprehensive research institution across multiple scientific and engineering domains. As a Hispanic-serving public research university, ASU regularly executes sophisticated research initiatives for civilian and defense agencies, including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health. This grant contributes to the university's broader mission of advancing space science research and addressing fundamental questions about planetary geology and the conditions that may support habitability on distant celestial bodies within our solar system.
