- This is a $90,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) on September 1, 2020. The primary objective is to establish the genealogy and provenance of important groups of planetary materials, such as iron meteorites and pallasites, using nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies. This research aims to advance the understanding of how chemical and physical processes in the early solar...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AD34G, was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of NASA) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to support expanded investigations into planetary materials to shed new light on their petrogenetic relationships. The $618,000 grant will fund research to measure chromium and titanium isotopes in a wider range of samples, including iron meteorites and pallasites, in order to establish a comparative chronology anchored to uranium-lead dating. The...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,971.41 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research on asteroidal meteorites and their implications for exoplanet atmospheres and early planetary formation. Specifically, the grant will fund the establishment of cosmochemistry and scanning electron microscope laboratories at UCSC to conduct experiments constraining the timing of fluid activity in early planetesimals and the initial abundance of...
- The University of California, Davis was awarded a $544,663.74 research grant by a civilian federal agency to investigate the thermodynamic properties of rocky planets during collisional growth. This research effort, which commenced on January 1, 2021 and concludes on December 31, 2024, is fundamental to understanding planetary formation and evolution. The work will be performed at UC Davis's Davis, California campus. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, indicating open competition...
- This is a $32,863.49 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct research on "Constraining the Accretion and Outgassing of Martian Interior Volatiles through High-Precision Noble Gas Analyses." The award is not set aside for any specific designation. UC Davis is a prominent public research university with extensive expertise in areas such as agriculture, environmental sciences, biomedical...
- This is a $1,493,365.12 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct shock-induced melting and vaporization experiments on planetary materials. The objective is to study the thermodynamic response of planetary materials during high-velocity impact events, which can lead to melting, vaporization, and other observable features relevant to understanding impact processes throughout the solar system. This...
- This is a $503,870 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to study the patterns of moderately volatile element depletion in the silicate portions of planetary bodies. The research aims to investigate whether volatile loss from partially molten planetesimals can explain the observed elemental depletion patterns and whether conventional or "Grand Tack" accretion models are more consistent with the data....
- This is a $697,413.34 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to study the chemical and isotopic properties of ancient solar system materials, including primitive meteorites and interplanetary dust particles (IDPs), and compare their formation conditions and early evolution with samples from Comet Wild 2. The grant has two main objectives: 1) Translate recent quantitative titanium and vanadium K-edge oxygen barometers to L2;3 X-ray absorption near-edge...
- This is a $39,900 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) for a project titled "HIGH-CADENCE UV LIGHT CURVES OF EXTREMELY YOUNG SUPERNOVAE". The award is for research and does not have a small business set-aside designation. UC Davis, a major public land-grant research university, frequently receives federal awards to support scientific research across diverse fields. This grant will enable UC Davis...
- This is a $33,141.53 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct research on the "Incipient Weathering of Mars Analog Soils in Iceland". The work will develop a cross-scale understanding of rock-derived elemental cycling, which supports NASA's scientific research needs. UC Davis, a major public research university, frequently receives federal awards across a wide range of scientific disciplines, including...
This is a $91,150.99 grant award to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the origins and evolution of differentiated asteroids. The primary objective is to improve understanding of the asteroids that produced mafic achondrites, a type of stony meteorite, through coordinated petrologic, geochemical, and isotopic analyses. The research aims to develop criteria for evaluating the number of asteroids contributing mafic achondrites and gain a more comprehensive understanding of asteroid differentiation. This award is part of NASA's "Emerging Worlds" program, which seeks to answer questions about the formation and evolution of the solar system. There is no set-aside designation for this award, and it was made directly to UC Davis as the prime awardee. As a major research university, UC Davis frequently receives federal grants and contracts to support scientific research across fields like space science, environmental science, and engineering.
