- 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 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...
- This is a $333,295.00 grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the upper atmosphere of Mars. The award supports analysis of data from two Mars spacecraft, the Mars Express mission's SPICAM instrument and the MAVEN mission's IUVS instrument, using Mars general circulation models to characterize the dynamics of the Martian middle and upper atmosphere. This...
- 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...
- The University of Colorado was awarded a $276,806 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on biological sulfate reduction and its potential importance for understanding the habitability of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. The research aims to address uncertainties around the reactivity of sulfate during water-rock reactions and the potential for biological sulfate reduction under different fluid chemistries. The results will help improve the...
