- This is a $565,402.98 federal grant award to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "Towards a New Interpretation of Sedimentary Hopanes Using Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens as Model System". The project aims to investigate the functions of hopanoids, molecular fossils of bacterial lipids, and understand their role in conferring stress resistance to bacteria, which could help...
- This is a $187,826.07 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research on the response of terrestrial carbon uptake to seasonal warming, soil thaw, and water availability across North America. The research aims to understand how changes in seasonal phenology, carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, and atmospheric CO2 concentrations have evolved over the past decade, particularly in climate-sensitive semi-arid and...
- This is a $115,725.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university focused on science and engineering. The grant supports research to understand the history of water on the surface of Mars by studying minerals formed from water-rock interactions, specifically phyllosilicates and partially chloritized smectites. The research objectives are to synthesize and characterize partially...
- This is a $406,483.94 grant award from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on manganese-oxidizing lithotrophs. The research aims to determine if manganese(II) oxidation is coupled to carbon dioxide fixation by the microbial consortium, evaluate the consortium's genomes for determinants of manganese(II) oxidation, analyze the transcriptomes of the consortium species, and...
- This is a $1,082,792.78 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to evaluate crop productivity using solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) measured from ground and space. The goal is to provide a framework for using SIF to estimate gross and net carbon fluxes in agricultural systems. The grant leverages recent developments in measuring chlorophyll fluorescence and carbon exchange at the leaf, canopy,...
