About this award
Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $150,000 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to conduct numerical modeling of wind-driven waves on Titan's hydrocarbon lakes and seas. The research, identified as contract 23-PLANET23-0137, aims to elucidate coastal geomorphology and investigate the enigmatic "magic islands" phenomenon observed on Saturn's moon. The grant, awarded on August 21, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of August 20, 2027, will be performed in Ithaca, New York, and carries no set-aside designation, reflecting Cornell's competitive standing in federal research contracting.
This award supports fundamental planetary science research conducted by Cornell University, a comprehensive research institution with substantial federal research capabilities spanning multiple scientific disciplines. The contract represents the type of basic science investigation typically supported through NASA or National Science Foundation funding mechanisms and leverages Cornell's established expertise in advanced computational modeling and space science research. The multi-year performance period through 2027 allows for comprehensive investigation of the dynamic processes governing wave phenomena in Titan's unique liquid hydrocarbon environment, contributing to understanding of planetary surface processes and astrogeophysical phenomena relevant to future exploration missions.
