- This is a $362,325 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for research related to the internal structure and evolution of Jupiter. The work aims to develop 3D models of Jupiter's interior, investigate the implications of atmospheric elemental abundances for the planet's formation, and constrain the properties of hydrogen and helium at the temperatures and pressures where Jupiter's magnetic field originates. The...
- This federal contract award, valued at $329,379.47, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct a comparative study of cratered terrains on the Moon, Mars, and Mercury. The study aims to disentangle the factors that contribute to the differences observed in these heavily cratered surfaces across the three planetary bodies, using quantitative topographic analysis and computer modeling. The research aligns...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $185,986.02 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) for research on early volatile retention or loss in small bodies in the outer solar system. The objective is to develop theoretical models of vapor outflow driven by high surface temperatures as a potential mass loss pathway, and compare the results to observational data. This grant will help test hypotheses about the formation of Kuiper Belt objects and the...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AG08G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to investigate large-scale dynamics and tracer transport in the middle atmosphere of the gas giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The $387,655.97 grant supports the use of comprehensive three-dimensional circulation models to improve understanding of these planetary atmospheres based on space-based and...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21M0135, was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) as the prime contractor. The contract, which is not set aside, supports numerical calculations to model the formation and evolution of Jupiter and other giant planets in the solar system, with the goal of resolving discrepancies between current models and observations from the Juno space mission. The contract has a ceiling value of...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) is a $354,454 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research related to the InSight mission to Mars. The research will use tidal observations to probe Mars's internal structure, complementing and expanding on the existing InSight mission objectives. The award is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. UCSC is the prime contractor, and...
- This is a $135,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) on September 1, 2018. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, will investigate the large-scale dynamics and tracer transport in Jupiter's troposphere to explain recent observations of ammonia, arsenic hydride, and germanium hydride from the Juno mission and ground-based telescopes. The goal is to develop a...
- This $668,062 federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct research on "Taking Water Worlds Seriously: Exploring the Phase Space of Water World Atmospheres, Structure, and Evolution". As a public research university, UCSC has extensive expertise in astrophysics, marine sciences, and other scientific disciplines relevant to this effort. The contract is structured as a grant and does...
- This $305,484.00 grant contract was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency that is part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) on August 1, 2021. The contract, which runs through July 31, 2025, supports research on the polarization of solar light scattered by lunar regolith, a key topic for understanding the Moon's surface characteristics. As a public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution,...
- NASA awarded a $86,000.00 grant to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct research on the hydrodynamics of planetary engulfment.
