PSI will leverage its expertise in planetary remote sensing, data analysis, and mission...
This is a $193,616.44 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is part of NASA's Exobiology Program and is focused on improving the understanding of large asteroid and comet impacts and their effects on the environment and climate, particularly in relation to mass extinction events like the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) determine the amount and properties of materials ejected during large impacts, 2) quantify the release of climate-active gases, 3) model the global distribution of ejecta, and 4) derive scaling laws for estimating the environmental impacts of different sized impactors and target materials. The research will utilize advanced hydrocode models and leverage geological and spacecraft data to validate the models. The results will be made available to the broader scientific community for climate modeling and predicting the consequences of large impacts. This grant award does not have a set-aside designation.
