This is a $694,695.26 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU). The grant supports two tasks: 1) investigating the origin of nucleosynthetic isotope anomalies in palladium (Pd), osmium (Os), and other siderophile (iron-loving) elements in meteorites, and 2) refining the hafnium-tungsten (Hf-W) chronometer to better determine the timing of chemical differentiation in the early solar system. The research leverages mass...
This is a $298,433.31 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct a study on nanoprecipitates within meteoritic metals as tracers of early solar system processes. The proposed research aims to use transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and micro-particle-induced X-ray emission (micro-PIXE) techniques to characterize the nanoscale phase petrology of metal systems in iron meteorites and metal-rich breccias. This...
This is a $556,040.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government-funded institution of higher learning. The grant supports research focused on interpreting the primary geologic processes and history that formed the Martian geologic record, with an emphasis on the role of water. The University's expertise in characterizing multiple episodes of water-rock reactions recorded in seafloor and ophiolitic...
This is a $1,953,008 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on the early history of the solar system. The objective is to better understand processes in the solar nebula and on planetesimals through investigations of radiogenic isotope systematics, stable isotope systematics, and trace element geochemistry of primitive and differentiated meteorites. The research addresses NASA's Emerging Worlds program goals...
This is a $415,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct experimental and petrological investigations into the chemical differentiation processes that occurred on the Ureilite parent body, one of the most ancient achondrite meteorites. The goal is to better understand the earliest planetary differentiation processes in the solar system by studying the metal-mineral melt processes (smelting)...
This is a $78,096 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant's objective is to determine the effects of mineral particle clustering on Mars spacecraft spectral signatures and to refine the production of refractive indices corresponding to Mars dust laboratory analog spectra. The work aims to improve the understanding of Mars surface...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $122,554.49 training grant to Arizona State University (ASU) to investigate the behavior of iron (Fe) and silicon (Si) isotopes during planetary accretion and differentiation. The study aims to determine if variable redox conditions during these processes are responsible for the mass-dependent Fe and Si isotope fractionation observed in planetary materials. The work will utilize analytical techniques including electron microprobe...
This is a $565,000 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The grant supports a study on the isotopic composition of refractory lithophile elements in the earliest solar system materials, including refractory inclusions and chondrites. The goal is to better understand the nebular processes that controlled the chemical fractionation and mixing of elements during the formation of the solar system and the subsequent...
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 is a $218,133.46 grant awarded by NASA to the Regents of the University of Colorado (doing business as the University of Colorado) to conduct research on geochemical alteration processes on Mars. The research aims to determine which alteration processes and conditions are most compatible with the observed geochemical trends in sulfur-enriched rocks at the Meridiani and Gusev landing sites, and to incorporate this information into interpretations of the geologic history of those sites. The...
