- This $100,000.00 grant award to Brown University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for research on the microstructures, visible and near-infrared (VNIR) spectra, and attenuation of laboratory-derived ice Ih and ice/salt-hydrate eutectic aggregates. These materials are relevant to the study of Jupiter's moon Europa and other icy moons. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and has a period of performance ending on September 16, 2026. As a leading...
- This is a $475,850 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Purdue University to study the formation and termination of double ridges on the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa. The research aims to develop a model for how tidal flexing causes water to flow through subsurface ice fissures, leading to the buildup of ice wedges that force the overlying ice into the observed ridge structures. The findings could help understand the icy lithosphere of...
- This federal grant award to the University of Texas at Austin is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the internal activity and tectonic processes of several icy satellites in the solar system, including Enceladus and Europa. The primary objective is to use modeling software to investigate how processes within the ice shells of these moons are linked to their surface features. The research will be conducted under a $147,105.00 grant with a...
- This $88,161.27 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on tidal-tectonic processes on Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. The research aims to improve understanding of Europa's interior structure and rotational history by incorporating rheology-dependent tidal stress equations into existing models and testing the predictions against observed geologic features. The work will assess the role of non-synchronous...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $161,315.00 grant to the Planetary Science Institute, a non-profit research organization, to conduct research on the geological and geophysical processes that drive material transport between the subsurface oceans and surfaces of icy moons such as Europa and Enceladus. The research aims to understand the habitability of these oceans and the potential for detecting biosignatures on the surface, which is...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $123,864.88 grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) to conduct research on the fractures and failure of the icy shells of Europa and other icy satellites in the solar system. The research aims to improve understanding of the depth, stress, and energy required for the propagation of fractures and formation of chaotic terrain on these icy bodies. The study will combine fracture mechanics, granular physics, and...
- This is a $398,826 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, doing business as the Clinical Practices of the University of Pennsylvania, a private university and academic medical center. The grant is for a research project to conduct state-of-the-art experiments investigating the role of particulates on the rheology (flow behavior) of water ice. The goals include rigorously testing the field-boundary...
- This is a $313,431.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, for a study on tidal heating, a fundamental planetary process that provides heat sources for many satellites in the outer solar system. The grant, with an ultimate completion date of October 25, 2023, will fund research into the tidal heating of moons like Io, Enceladus, and Europa. WHOI is a...
- This federal grant award to Brown University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will fund research to address key knowledge gaps related to surface water runoff on the Greenland Ice Sheet. The $677,839 project aims to 1) map surface runoff drainage patterns using satellite imagery, 2) obtain in-situ measurements of proglacial river discharge for climate model validation, 3) refine climate/surface mass balance model runoff products, and 4) assess the influence of...
- This is a $475,387.12 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Brown University, a private Ivy League research university. The grant is part of NASA's Rhode Island Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCOR) Research Infrastructure Development (RID) program for fiscal year 2015. The grant has two main components: 1) Funding research at the University of Rhode Island on "Remote Sensing of Sub-Surface Structure of Extraterrestrial...
