- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Tennessee, doing business as the University of Tennessee System Office. The $212,687.00 grant supports research to construct a geologic map of the western portion of the Aeolis Mons, the central mound in Gale Crater, at a 1:60,000 scale. The overarching goal is to better understand the origin(s) of mound-forming and mound-draping layers on Mars,...
- This is a $694,642.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville for scientific research. The study will focus on three main objectives: (1) analyzing the mineralogy, geochemistry, and textural characteristics of paleosols to better understand microbial processing, (2) examining fluvial transport processes and developing 3D digital outcrop models, and (3) searching for macroscopic evidence of...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AL98G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Tennessee. The $130,000.00 grant supports the university's research focused on quantifying the timing and nature of igneous processes that occurred during the formation of the Moon and Mars. Key areas of study include investigating the origin of enriched Martian meteorites (shergottites), analyzing the nature of volatiles in lunar minerals and rocks, and dating...
- This federal contract award, valued at $261,128.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Tennessee, operating as the Univ Tennessee System Office. The contract supports research objectives of NASA's Solar System Workings program, which focuses on studying geophysical and geochemical processes on planetary bodies. As a major public land-grant research university, the University of Tennessee has extensive experience conducting scientific...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the University of Tennessee to investigate the co-occurrences of calcium sulfate veins and magnesium sulfate cements in dry climates, searching for sulfate origins in Gale Crater on Mars. The $485,046.00 grant-funded research project has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2027. The University of Tennessee, a prominent public land-grant research institution, will serve as the prime...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $308,947 grant to the University of Tennessee (UT) for the "EO14042 GEEMAP: INTERACTIVE MAPPING AND INTELLIGENT ANALYSIS OF GEOSPATIAL BIG DATA WITH GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE" project. This research contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run through July 31, 2025. As a public land-grant university, UT has extensive experience conducting federal research across scientific and technical domains, including...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a grant for research to the University of Tennessee, doing business as the University of Tennessee System Office, in the amount of $208,907.00. The proposed research is directly relevant to NASA's Solar System Workings Program, which includes studies of analog field settings for geologic and geochemical processes on planetary bodies like Mars. The research aims to improve the understanding of in-situ measurements made by orbital and robotic missions on Mars, and is relevant to the major goals of the Mars Exploration Program focused on life, climate, and geology. This grant supports the university's research initiatives to provide a stronger framework for interpreting data from recent and upcoming Mars exploration missions. No set-aside designation was indicated for this award.
