About this award
Arizona State University (ASU), operating through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa), received a $623,374 research grant from a civilian federal agency to conduct scientific research titled "Seeking Clues to Martian Ignimbrites from Terrestrial Examples." The award, issued on July 13, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of July 12, 2026, represents a non-set-aside grant supporting fundamental research into volcanic geology with potential applications to Mars exploration. The work will be performed at ASU's Tempe, Arizona campus, where the university maintains significant research capabilities across space science and geological disciplines.
This grant award reflects ASU's established role as a premier research institution conducting space science investigations for federal agencies, particularly NASA and related civilian research programs. The three-year research initiative will contribute to understanding volcanic depositional processes on Mars by studying terrestrial ignimbrite formations, which are large-scale pyroclastic flow deposits. As a child contract under ASU's parent entity, this award leverages the university's comprehensive research infrastructure and expertise in planetary science and geological research to advance knowledge relevant to Mars science missions and exploration objectives.
