- The SETI Institute was awarded a $419,715 research grant by NASA to conduct a systematic experimental study of aeolian (wind-driven) grain transport modes across different planetary environments. The project, titled "Comparative Planetology of Aeolian Transport Modes," aims to characterize how aerodynamic versus ballistic forces govern particle movement under conditions simulating Venus, Titan, and Mars atmospheres. Research will be conducted at NASA Ames' Planetary Aeolian...
- This $502,955.13 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to investigate the role of solar wind fluctuations in the transfer of energy and momentum between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The research aims to address three key science goals: 1) determining if solar wind fluctuations enhance the transfer of energy from the solar wind to the Earth's geospace, 2) understanding how solar...
- This is a $160,962.24 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to conduct research on turbulence and intermittency in solar wind. The project aims to develop analytical theories on these phenomena and test them against simulations and solar wind observations. This research is relevant to the Heliophysics Decadal Survey objectives to understand fundamental processes within the heliosphere. The award does not have a...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a grant for research to the University of Tennessee, doing business as the University of Tennessee System Office, in the amount of $208,907.00. The proposed research is directly relevant to NASA's Solar System Workings Program, which includes studies of analog field settings for geologic and geochemical processes on planetary bodies like Mars. The research aims to improve the understanding of in-situ measurements made by orbital...
- This is a three-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University in the amount of $455,357.00. The purpose of the grant is to conduct a field and laboratory study of modern and ancient aeolian (wind-driven) environments at Padre Island, Texas and Entrada Sandstone, Utah. The primary objectives are to determine the modes of aeolian transport of microbial and associated elemental material, identify aeolian depocenters for this material, and...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University (OSU) to quantify the rates and nature of aeolian (wind-driven) transport in the Argentinean Puna region as an analog for understanding aeolian processes on Mars. The $314,651.01 grant, awarded on September 27, 2017, will support a research project that builds upon previous characterization and semi-quantitative work on gravel-capped bedforms in the Puna region. The goal is to more...
- This is a $758,788.02 grant award from NASA to Arizona State University (ASU) for the operation of the Planetary Aeolian Laboratory (PAL). The PAL consists of wind tunnels and associated facilities located at NASA's Ames Research Center in California and on ASU's Tempe campus. These facilities are used to conduct research and testing on aeolian (wind-driven) processes under different planetary atmospheric conditions, including Earth, Mars, and Titan. The PAL supports NASA's solar system...
- This is a $514,075 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Tennessee to conduct research on "CONSTRAINING THE COMPOSITION OF PRE- TO EARLY NOACHIAN CRUSTAL BLOCKS SURROUNDING ARGYRE, HELLAS, AND ISIDIS." The award has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. No set-aside designation was noted for this grant. The University of Tennessee is the prime recipient and will be performing the research work at its Knoxville,...
- This is a $694,642.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville for scientific research. The study will focus on three main objectives: (1) analyzing the mineralogy, geochemistry, and textural characteristics of paleosols to better understand microbial processing, (2) examining fluvial transport processes and developing 3D digital outcrop models, and (3) searching for macroscopic evidence of...
- Yale University was awarded a $259,573 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the occurrence of annular modes in the Martian atmosphere and their influence on the timing, growth, and frequency of transient atmospheric waves that trigger large dust events. The objective is to improve understanding of the Martian dust cycle to help ensure the safety of spacecraft operations, as regional dust events occur unpredictably. The grant does not have a set-aside...
