- This $232,433.44 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on the early evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis in cyanobacteria. The goal is to gain insights into the pre-phototrophic progenitors of modern cyanobacteria by studying dark cyanobacterial lineages found in termite hindgut microbial communities. The research will involve comparative metagenomics, transcriptomics, 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 $596,148 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant is for a research project to develop theoretical and experimental bases for understanding the varying chemical and mineralogical conditions of water-silicate reactions on planetary bodies. The grant has an ultimate completion date of October 29, 2025. Caltech is a major recipient of NASA and Department of...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, for a research project titled "Biosynthesis of 3-Methylhopanoids by Purple Non-Sulfur Anoxygenic Phototrophs." The project aims to investigate the cellular function of certain lipid biomarkers in purple non-sulfur bacteria and their potential implications for interpreting the geological record. The grant has a total ceiling value of...
- 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 $743,299.00 grant award to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on aromatic compounds in the atmosphere. Aromatic compounds are known carcinogens and precursors to secondary pollutants like ozone and particulate matter. The research aims to improve understanding of the global sources and impacts of these atmospheric trace species. As a leading research university focused on science and engineering,...
- This is a $277,449.73 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to deliver the annual global methane budget and its uncertainties from January 2018 through December 2021. The grant will utilize data, tools, and expertise built from previous NASA-funded research to provide a detailed accounting of methane sources and sinks, including partitioning by source type (e.g., fossil fuels, wetlands, agriculture) and the...
- This is a $398,382.37 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research related to identifying and quantifying phyllosilicate (clay) minerals on planetary bodies throughout the solar system. The research aims to improve the ability to remotely detect and characterize these minerals, which are crucial indicators of past water-rock interactions. Key tasks include synthesizing and characterizing smectite...
