- 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 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...
- This federal contract award, valued at $804,744.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The award seeks to refine the understanding of fundamental processes involved in the accretion and differentiation of the Moon and asteroids. The research will address three key questions related to the earliest stages of planetesimal and planet formation, including the behavior 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 $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 federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) is for research on the thermodynamics and mechanics of large impact events on terrestrial planets. The primary objective is to build a robust set of tools that more accurately predict the outcomes of giant impacts, such as the Moon-forming impact, by obtaining improved equation of state data for key mantle minerals like olivine, bronzite, and bridgmanite....
- 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...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX17AE77G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct a series of investigations on the mineralogic components of chondritic meteorites. The goal is to develop improved chronological constraints on the formation and aqueous evolution of asteroids, which aligns with NASA's objective to understand the formation and early evolution of the solar system. The...
- 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 $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...
