- This is a $218,133.46 grant awarded by NASA to the Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) to conduct research on geochemical alteration processes on Mars. The research aims to determine which alteration processes and conditions are most compatible with the observed geochemical trends in sulfur-enriched rocks at the Meridiani and Gusev landing sites, and to incorporate this information into interpretations of the geologic history of those sites. The...
- This federal award is a $207,308 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant is for a research project to analyze and interpret sedimentary and hydrated deposits in the Ladon Basin region of Mars, with implications for the aqueous history of the Margaritifer Terra region. The project will utilize multiple datasets and analyses, including HiRISE and CTX imagery, CRISM...
- This is a grant award from a civilian federal agency to the Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for research related to the interpretation of the primary geologic processes and history that formed the Martian geologic record, with a focus on the role of water. The award, valued at $553,420.67, will run until September 30, 2024. The research is directly relevant to the objectives of the Mars Returned Sample Science Participating Scientist Program and will leverage the geochemical and...
- This is a $82,827.46 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado. The grant will fund a continuation of spectroscopic investigations by Dr. Osterloo, a research scientist at SSI, to further understand the composition and formation of chloride salt deposits on the surface of Mars. The work will build on previous efforts, utilizing the same spectral library and methods to...
- This is a $34,332.84 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to Arizona State University's Orspa division. The grant is for a research project titled "PHOTOGEOLOGIC STUDY OF NOACHIS TERRA - CRUSTAL EVOLUTION AND THE EFFECTS OF BASIN-FORMING EVENTS ON EARLY MARS" with a period of performance through August 5, 2024. There is no set-aside designation for this award. Arizona State University has a history of receiving prime and subcontract research awards...
- This is a $961,627.48 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to conduct research on the linkages between thermophysical properties of Earth and Mars. The research aims to characterize the variability in thermophysical properties of analog terrains to Mars' recurring slope lineae, and assess the measurements necessary to constrain soil moisture content based on remotely sensed thermophysical data. The grant has no set-aside designation, indicating...
- This $384,771.95 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on July 1, 2019 to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution located in Tucson, Arizona. The grant supports an objective to reconstruct the geologic history and evolution of the early Amazonian Hebrus Valles and Hephaestus Fossae channel systems in the southern Utopia Planitia region of Mars. The...
- This is a $344,226 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Desert Research Institute, a division of the Nevada System of Higher Education. The grant is for research to understand the history of water on Mars, which is critical to the search for evidence of life on the planet. The research will utilize physics-based wave modeling and geomorphic analysis to constrain the durations over which lakes existed on Mars by comparing to...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $276,271 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, effective January 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2024. This grant supports planetary science research examining geologic evidence of ancient water flow on Mars and the climate conditions surrounding the formation of these features—a significant unsolved problem in planetary science. The work will be performed at the University of Colorado's...
- This federal grant award to the University of Colorado, Boulder, aims to help assess the climate conditions on Mars during the late Noachian period by comparing the geomorphic properties of valley networks to those produced from landscape evolution models. The $500,667.69 award will fund research to characterize Martian valley networks, run numerical models for both warm-wet and cold-icy climate hypotheses, and compare the observed and modeled valley network morphologies. This effort directly...
