About this award
The University of Texas at Austin received a $577.9K research grant awarded by a Civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on July 1, 2024, for a project titled "Building and Maintaining Topography on Icy Ocean Worlds: Linking Internal Processes to the Observable Ice Shell Geometry." The award is not designated as a set-aside contract and carries an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. The work will be performed at UT Austin's Austin, Texas campus.
This research initiative focuses on planetary science and ice shell dynamics, investigating how internal processes of ocean worlds influence observable surface topography. The project represents UT Austin's continued participation in advanced scientific research programs, leveraging the university's substantial capabilities in computational modeling, specialized scientific research, and interdisciplinary analysis. As a leading research institution with extensive experience executing federal grants across multiple agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy, UT Austin is well-positioned to conduct sophisticated scientific investigations in areas such as planetary geophysics and astrobiological research relevant to understanding extraterrestrial ocean worlds.
