- This federal contract award, valued at $118,999.98, was granted to New Mexico State University (NMSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the formation processes of the Martian Polar Layered Terrains (PLTs). The goal is to quantify the yearly accumulation rates of water ice and dust on Mars under current and past climatic conditions, in order to decipher the record of recent Martian climate history contained in the PLTs. This contract is not set aside for...
- 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 federal contract award from NASA to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization, is focused on improving the understanding of the hydrologic and climatic environment on Mars during the Noachian-Hesperian period. The work involves using global climate models to simulate the early Martian climate and driving groundwater models to predict locations of hydrological activity and sediment deposition, with a focus on the Meridiani Planum and Gale Crater regions. This...
- This is a $456,332.56 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to study the environmental consequences of asteroid bombardment on early Mars. The grant is focused on developing comprehensive models of Mars' early bombardment history and the associated environmental effects, with a focus on factors relevant to habitability such as surface temperature and volatile inventory. The work is divided into three major tasks: 1)...
- This federal contract award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Aeolis Research Inc., a for-profit research organization. The goal of the grant is to develop a better understanding of how surface water sources and sinks at the Martian poles interact with the global climate system. The research will primarily utilize data from instruments on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft, including CRISM, MCS, and MARCI. The grant seeks to address key...
- This is a $155,548 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Blue Marble Space, a non-profit organization doing business as Blue Marble Space Institute of Science. The grant supports research into the climate history of Mars, with the goal of better understanding the planet's past habitability. The research will use an ensemble modeling approach to examine the confluence of factors like stellar flux, volcanic outgassing, and atmospheric...
- This is a $439,666.85 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) for a research project titled "The Role of Dust in the Life Cycle of Snow: Coupling Remote Sensing with Models to Link Dust, Snow, Land-Use, Climate Change, and Water Resources." The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of August 20, 2024, is focused on studying the impact of dust on the life cycle of snow and its implications for water...
- This federal grant award to the University of Colorado, Boulder, aims to help assess the climate conditions on Mars during the late Noachian period by comparing the geomorphic properties of valley networks to those produced from landscape evolution models. The $500,667.69 award will fund research to characterize Martian valley networks, run numerical models for both warm-wet and cold-icy climate hypotheses, and compare the observed and modeled valley network morphologies. This effort directly...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a nonprofit research institute, to investigate the effects of a cold early climate on the evolution of the Martian hydrosphere. The grant, valued at $361,691.37, will fund the development of a climate model, Mars topography model, a model of the thermal evolution of the Martian crust, and an advanced model of regional and global subpermafrost groundwater flow....
- This is a $335,067 grant awarded by NASA to Northern Illinois University (NIU) to conduct research on the early climate conditions of Mars. The goal is to use spatial statistics to analyze the global distribution of valley networks and other geologic features on Mars to determine whether the early climate was continuously warm and wet, or episodically warm and wet due to factors like volcanic activity or impact events. The research aims to provide new insights to climate modelers and...
