- This is a $422,833 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to improve the physical understanding of the dynamics of the plumes observed on Saturn's moon Enceladus. The research aims to determine how the observed grains, atoms, molecules, and photons relate to the flow field and driving source properties of the plumes. The project will use detailed physical modeling and Bayesian analysis techniques to optimize...
- This $88,161.27 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on tidal-tectonic processes on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The research aims to improve understanding of Europa's interior structure and rotational history by incorporating rheology-dependent tidal stress equations into existing models and testing the predictions against observed geologic features. The work will assess the role of non-synchronous...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $161,315.00 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization, to conduct research on the geological and geophysical processes that drive material transport between the subsurface oceans and surfaces of icy moons such as Europa and Enceladus. The research aims to understand the habitability of these oceans and the potential for detecting biosignatures on the surface, which is...
- The University of Texas at Austin received a $577.9K research grant awarded by a Civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on July 1, 2024, for a project titled "Building and Maintaining Topography on Icy Ocean Worlds: Linking Internal Processes to the Observable Ice Shell Geometry." The award is not designated as a set-aside contract and carries an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027. The work will be performed at UT Austin's Austin, Texas campus. This research initiative...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University to study the geological features and processes on the surface of Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons. The goal is to understand how cryovolcanism, tectonism, seismicity, mass wasting, impacts, and thermophysical processes have shaped the small-scale surface features on Enceladus, using high-resolution imagery from the Cassini spacecraft. The work also aims to demonstrate the use of...
- This federal grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to Texas Tech University System to develop a heat flow probe that can be robotically deployed from a lander on the surface of Europa and other icy moons. The goal is to measure the heat transport through the ice shell to better understand the thermal evolution and potential subsurface ecosystems of these planetary bodies. The $955,776.63 grant will fund a 3-year research effort, starting at Technology...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, in the amount of $432,130.05. The grant supports research to develop theoretical formalisms for understanding the role of tidal energy dissipation in the long-term evolution of subsurface oceans on icy satellites in the solar system. The research aims to account for the effects of a solid lid on ocean dynamics and the impact of inertial...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $123,864.88 grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) to conduct research on the fractures and failure of the icy shells of Europa and other icy satellites in the solar system. The research aims to improve understanding of the depth, stress, and energy required for the propagation of fractures and formation of chaotic terrain on these icy bodies. The study will combine fracture mechanics, granular physics, and...
- This federal contract award is a $204,207.56 grant to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant supports continued development of coupling efforts between ice sheet models and NASA's GEOS-5 and GISS ModelE climate models. The goal is to gain insights into the effects of dynamic ice sheets and associated feedbacks on the global climate system. Specifically, the research will focus on improving...
- This federal contract award, valued at $575,037.88, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The award is for a research grant to study Europa's thermal-orbital evolution and its effects on the moon's surface geology, fracture formation, and potential liquid water transport. The research aims to better characterize Europa's interior structure, tidal...
