- This is a $406,070.68 grant awarded by NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research on the formation and interpretation of topographically inverted river deposits on Earth and Mars. The goal is to develop a mechanistic understanding of how inverted river channels form and how their features can be used to reconstruct paleo-environmental conditions on Mars. The research involves field studies of terrestrial analogs, developing paleo-hydraulic reconstruction techniques,...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant is for research to provide extensive geological and mineralogical evidence on the presence of liquid water on the surface of ancient Mars. Caltech has received over $500 million in prime federal contract awards from NASA and the Department of Defense over the past 5 years for a range of...
- This is a $115,725.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university focused on science and engineering. The grant supports research to understand the history of water on the surface of Mars by studying minerals formed from water-rock interactions, specifically phyllosilicates and partially chloritized smectites. The research objectives are to synthesize and characterize partially...
- This is a $410,288.64 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on the surface and subsurface of Mars. The overarching goal is to enhance the understanding of how the surface and subsurface of Mars may be in communication to bring waters of distinctive geochemistries to the surface. The research objectives are to map the distributions of secondary (water-related) minerals in the Terra...
- This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university focused on science and engineering. The $134,999.41 training grant will support research to understand the geological processes that shaped Mars' surface during the Noachian period, which may have created habitable environments and potential biosignatures. The research objectives include...
- This is a $88,081.91 Training Grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research related to understanding the geology and climate history of Mars. The research aims to link observations from the Mars Science Laboratory rover with remote sensing data of the Gale Crater region to gain insights into the past habitability and evolution of Mars. This work aligns with key objectives of NASA's Mars...
- This federal contract award, valued at $352,952.13, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university in Pasadena, California. The contract is a grant for research to conduct global high-resolution mapping of glacial units on Mars and calculate constraints on the long-term evolution of the Martian climate. This work aims to further understand how the Amazonian climate of Mars has changed...
- This federal grant award to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is for the project "RECONSTRUCTING THE HISTORY OF JEZERO CRATER LAKE FROM REMOTE 3D DIGITAL TOPOGRAPHY: A FRAMEWORK FOR 2020 ROVER EXPLORATION". The primary goal of this $150,000.00 grant is to collect and analyze data to support the Perseverance rover mission's sample collection efforts, as one of the mission's key objectives is to identify rock samples most likely to preserve signs of past life on Mars....
- This is a $398,382.37 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research related to identifying and quantifying phyllosilicate (clay) minerals on planetary bodies throughout the solar system. The research aims to improve the ability to remotely detect and characterize these minerals, which are crucial indicators of past water-rock interactions. Key tasks include synthesizing and characterizing smectite...
- This federal contract award, valued at $755,384.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to leverage Caltech's new Climate Machine initiative and novel remote sensing techniques focused on water stress.
