- This is a $187,826.07 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research on the response of terrestrial carbon uptake to seasonal warming, soil thaw, and water availability across North America. The research aims to understand how changes in seasonal phenology, carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, and atmospheric CO2 concentrations have evolved over the past decade, particularly in climate-sensitive semi-arid and...
- This is a $596,148 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant is for a research project to develop theoretical and experimental bases for understanding the varying chemical and mineralogical conditions of water-silicate reactions on planetary bodies. The grant has an ultimate completion date of October 29, 2025. Caltech is a major recipient of NASA and Department of...
- The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) received a $53,990 research grant from a civilian federal agency to conduct a study titled "Mass Loss History of Two Candidate Water Worlds Straddling the Radius Valley." The grant was awarded on October 1, 2024, with a completion date of September 30, 2026. This non-set-aside award supports research activities to be performed at Caltech's Pasadena, California campus and represents the institution's continued engagement in planetary...
- This $399,508.01 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) will fund research to directly characterize the atmospheres of exoplanets using high-resolution infrared spectroscopy. The research aims to measure molecular species like water, carbon monoxide, and methane in the atmospheres of nearby Jupiter- and Neptune-sized exoplanets, in order to understand their atmospheric composition, temperature...
- This $444,408 grant from NASA's Solar System Workings program was awarded to Arizona State University (ASU) to better understand the origin of variability in deuterium-to-hydrogen (D/H) ratios and redox conditions within Martian meteorites. The research aims to evaluate the effects of hydrogen loss from hydrous Martian magmas and fractional crystallization. For the first phase, ASU will measure D/H ratios, water abundances, Fe3+/Fe, and trace/minor element abundances in terrestrial analog...
- 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 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 $277,449.73 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to deliver the annual global methane budget and its uncertainties from January 2018 through December 2021. The grant will utilize data, tools, and expertise built from previous NASA-funded research to provide a detailed accounting of methane sources and sinks, including partitioning by source type (e.g., fossil fuels, wetlands, agriculture) and the...
- 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 is a training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university, with a potential value of $134,999.18. The grant supports research to develop a quantitative method for reconstructing the paleohydrology of ancient Martian river networks from orbital observations of inverted channels on Mars. The goal is to fill a knowledge gap by using in-situ investigations of...
