- This is a $386,056.25 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System, a state institution of higher learning located in Houston, Texas. The research aims to address fundamental uncertainties in the absolute duration of magmatic activity and the nature and timing of metamorphic processes on Asteroid 4 Vesta, the parent body of the Howardite, Eucrite, and Diogenite (HED) meteorites. The research consists of two tasks: 1)...
- This is a $702,316.92 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Houston System to conduct research on the origins and early evolution of the solar system. The research aims to gain a better understanding of the mixing processes in the solar nebula, the nature of solar and presolar components, and the origin and early differentiation of terrestrial bodies. The grant will fund high-precision isotopic measurements of bulk chondrites using neodymium, samarium, and osmium to investigate these...
- This is a $24,957.38 grant award from a civilian federal agency to the University of Houston System, a comprehensive public research university in Houston, Texas, to conduct an innovative laboratory study that will aid in understanding past climate and fluid chemistry on cold planetary bodies such as Mars. The study will involve triple oxygen and silicon isotopic analyses of cryogenic opal A and silica precipitated from low-temperature brines to determine paleo temperatures and fluid histories...
- 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 $335,794.40 grant award by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa for a study to assess the dispersal of explosive volcanic products (tephra) in the present and past Mars environment. The goal is to determine whether explosive eruptions on Mars were capable of distributing material on a regional to global scale, or if other origins must be sought for certain Martian surface deposits. The study will involve developing...
- The University of Houston System received a $189,600.63 research grant awarded April 1, 2021, by a civilian federal agency (Shared Services Center) to conduct high-precision isotope measurements investigating the dynamics, mixing, and heterogeneity of the early solar nebula. The research focuses on nucleosynthetic components in presolar materials and chondrite meteorites, specifically examining osmium, molybdenum, ruthenium, and palladium isotopes to understand nebular heterogeneity and the...
- The Board of Regents of Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), has been awarded a $570,789 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct a comprehensive petrological and geochemical study of understudied Martian poikilitic shergottite meteorites. The research aims to further understand the formation processes and evolution of the Martian interior through analysis of these meteorite...
- This is a $330,903 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Houston System, doing business as the University of Houston. The agreement is for the University to provide planetary sample analysis, cosmochemistry, lunar advanced science, and Mars fundamental research services to NASA's Johnson Space Center, which is designated as the agency's lead center for these areas. The agreement has a period of performance through March 31,...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) for a research project titled "EVOLUTION AND CHEMISTRY OF THE CRUST OF MARS: COMPARISON OF GRS, TES, AND THEMIS DATA". The $45,000.00 grant has an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2008 and was awarded on May 1, 2003. UH, doing business as the University of Hawaii at Manoa, is the prime recipient of this award. The university is a public institution of higher...
- This federal grant award to William Marsh Rice University, located in Houston, Texas, is focused on understanding the distribution and behavior of volatile elements like carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, and nitrogen during the formation and evolution of planetary bodies. The $475,000 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), involves experimental and modeling work to study how these volatiles partition between metallic cores, silicate mantles, and atmospheres during...
