- The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) received a $301,475 research grant from a civilian federal agency effective July 24, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of July 23, 2026. The research investigates the North Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD) of Mars, which consist of mixtures of water ice and dust and are believed to contain a climate record spanning approximately 5 million years. The project will focus on determining the relative ages of layers and accumulation rates of ice...
- This is a $333,295.00 grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the upper atmosphere of Mars. The award supports analysis of data from two Mars spacecraft, the Mars Express mission's SPICAM instrument and the MAVEN mission's IUVS instrument, using Mars general circulation models to characterize the dynamics of the Martian middle and upper atmosphere. This...
- This is a $452,846.46 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to study plasma motion and electric fields in localized magnetic cusp regions on the night side of Mars. The grant is part of NASA's Solar System Workings program, which seeks to understand physical processes affecting planetary atmospheres, exospheres, and magnetospheres. The University of...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The $906,946.01 grant, awarded on September 12, 2017, is for investigating the effects of stochastic (diffusive) transport processes versus coherent interactions of energetic particles with large-scale magnetospheric disturbances. The research aims to expand scientific...
- This is a $395,773.83 grant awarded by NASA to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, a public research university. The purpose of the grant is to characterize changes in the neutral atmosphere during geomagnetic storms in order to improve the modeling of ion-neutral interactions in the topside ionosphere. This research supports NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program goals of developing the scientific...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $276,271 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, effective January 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2024. This grant supports planetary science research examining geologic evidence of ancient water flow on Mars and the climate conditions surrounding the formation of these features—a significant unsolved problem in planetary science. The work will be performed at the University of Colorado's...
- This is a $173,362.72 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for a research project titled "Stirring Coronal Spaghetti: Determining the Importance of Jet-like and Filamentary Density Fluctuations". The goal is to improve the understanding of the origin of coronal density fluctuations and their influence on coronal heating and solar wind acceleration. The research will involve theoretical modeling and data analysis, including investigating high-speed network jets in the...
- This is a $472,965.00 grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) by a Civilian government agency, the Shared Services Center, for research on "The Relative Importance of Day-to-Night Transport and Electron Precipitation in the Martian Nightside Ionosphere". The award is not designated as a set-aside contract. CU is a prominent public research university based in Boulder, Colorado, with extensive experience executing federal contracts and grants across scientific...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, received a $614,573.66 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the importance of including low-frequency hiss, exohiss, and plasmapause-organized hiss in predictive modeling of electron dynamics in the inner magnetosphere. The research aims to quantify the impact of these "missing" aspects of hiss physics...
- The University of Colorado, Boulder was awarded a $533,094 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the dynamics of the Martian thermosphere, the upper atmosphere layer extending from 90 km to the exobase at around 200 km. The project will focus on understanding the coupling between the lower/middle Martian atmosphere, as measured by the Mars Climate Database, and the thermosphere up to the exosphere, including the aerobraking region between...
