- This is a $660,000 scientific research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant is part of NASA's Emerging Worlds program and supports research to understand the chemical, structural, and isotopic characteristics of organic materials in chondritic meteorites. The goal is to study how various parent body processes, such as aqueous alteration and thermal processing, have affected...
- NASA awarded a $377,452 grant to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to investigate the early history of the solar system. The research will focus on analyzing primitive meteorites, conducting experiments to reproduce early solar system processes, and performing isotopic analyses of samples. The grant supports three primary tasks: 1) a petrologic study of refractory inclusions in low-grade carbonaceous chondrites and an investigation of the effects of metamorphism on chondrite parent bodies, 2)...
- The University of New Mexico, through its Office of Sponsored Projects Division, was awarded a $2.24 million grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct research on the formation and alteration of early solar system materials. The project, titled "Formation and Alteration of Early Solar System Materials: Insights from Coordinated Micro and Nanoscale Mineralogic, Spectroscopic, and Isotopic Studies," will be performed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with an ultimate completion date of...
- This federal contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Mexico (UNM), will use non-destructive techniques like electron and X-ray microbeam analysis to study the oxidation states of lunar rocks and minerals. The $77,438.12 contract supports research to better understand the redox conditions that existed during the formation of the Moon's igneous and impact melt rocks. This work is relevant to NASA's Solar System Workings program. UNM, a...
- The University of New Mexico (UNM) has been awarded a $118,078.35 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to perform analytical transmission electron microscopy on amorphous condensate grain samples produced by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This work will provide detailed chemical, structural, and morphological data on approximately 10 samples per year of these complex nanomaterials. UNM has expertise in this area and has collaborated with NASA in the past on...
- This is a $165,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to study images from the Curiosity, Opportunity, and Spirit Mars rovers. The study will identify and measure the diameters of small craters, and compare the crater distributions to model predictions. UNM is a Hispanic-Serving Institution and state-controlled university that conducts significant federally funded research across scientific and engineering...
- This federal contract award is a grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of New Mexico (UNM). The research focuses on studying transverse aeolian ridges (TARs), which are small surface features on Mars. The grant is intended to extract geologic and geomorphic information from high-resolution imagery that is not available from other sensors, in order to better understand the formative conditions and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,988,294.21, was granted to the University of New Mexico (UNM) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The award, with a performance period ending on May 1, 2024, will support UNM's examination and analysis of lunar soil samples from the Apollo 17 mission. Specifically, the team will study volatile reservoirs and cycles on the Moon, investigate the magmatic-thermal history, analyze a lunar avalanche deposit, and assess the...
- This is a $1,044,966.98 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university, to conduct research on refractory dust, which provides clues about the formation of our solar system. The research involves detailed microscopic and computational analyses of meteoritic components, such as calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions and circumstellar grains, to understand their thermodynamic origins and the pressure-temperature...
- This federal contract award is for a grant to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), to study the formation and alteration of whitlockite and merrillite phosphate minerals in Martian meteorites. The research aims to understand the effects of shock on these minerals and how they can provide insights into past Martian atmospheric and hydrosphere conditions. The grant, worth $157,067.65, is funded by the Solar...
