- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The $134,550.28 contract is a training grant and will fund research into the phase stability and flow properties of Mars-relevant brines under low temperature and varying humidity conditions. The goal is to determine the potential for liquid...
- This is a $447,842.50 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wyoming for research on the photoelectrochemical production of perchlorate on the surface of Mars. The research aims to understand the processes by which semiconducting minerals on Mars can produce perchlorate through reactions driven by ultraviolet radiation, as an alternative to the previously proposed atmospheric mechanism. The study will examine reaction pathways,...
- 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 grant award from a civilian federal agency to the Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for research related to the interpretation of the primary geologic processes and history that formed the Martian geologic record, with a focus on the role of water. The award, valued at $553,420.67, will run until September 30, 2024. The research is directly relevant to the objectives of the Mars Returned Sample Science Participating Scientist Program and will leverage the geochemical and...
- 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 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning. The $224,725.54 grant funds a research project to study the aqueous stratigraphy and alteration history of the Noachis Terra region on Mars. The research aims to characterize the composition, thermophysical properties, and geomorphology of aqueous materials and adjacent terrain in this area,...
- This federal contract award from NASA to the University of Colorado Boulder supports research into the early climate of Mars and how water clouds may have contributed to maintaining temperatures near the freezing point. The $363,203.85 grant will fund simulations of past and present Martian climate, with a focus on phenomena like high-altitude clouds and surface frost interactions that could potentially lead to liquid water formation. The work aims to resolve long-standing debates about the...
- This is a $218,133.46 grant awarded by NASA to the Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) to conduct research on geochemical alteration processes on Mars. The research aims to determine which alteration processes and conditions are most compatible with the observed geochemical trends in sulfur-enriched rocks at the Meridiani and Gusev landing sites, and to incorporate this information into interpretations of the geologic history of those sites. The...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $639,698 research grant from a civilian federal agency to investigate jarosite and alunite minerals in Jurassic sandstones of the Colorado Plateau as terrestrial analogs for sulfate-bearing deposits identified on Mars. The research addresses a significant gap in scientific understanding by examining diagenetic precipitation processes of these minerals in sedimentary settings, which has received minimal study despite the prevalence of...
- This is a $789,050.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado. The award is for research into the storage of water within the magnesium-iron silicate crusts of rocky bodies in our solar system, such as Earth, Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. The contract has an ultimate completion date of January 14, 2026 and was awarded on January 15, 2021. The contract does...
