- This is a $104,931.80 training grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado to conduct research on the behavior of perchlorate salts and their impact on the formation of liquid water under Martian environmental conditions. The study aims to better understand the phase transition of perchlorate solutions from aqueous to ice states, which has implications for astrobiology, future space exploration, and geological features on Mars. The research involves using a Raman microscope to observe...
- This federal contract award, valued at $326,498.26, was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The award is a grant for research to study the dark fan-shaped deposits in the polar regions of Mars that change appearance and orientation during the Martian spring. This research aims to further understand the...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado received a $276,271 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, effective January 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2024. This grant supports planetary science research examining geologic evidence of ancient water flow on Mars and the climate conditions surrounding the formation of these features—a significant unsolved problem in planetary science. The work will be performed at the University of Colorado's...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded a $269,754.00 grant (Federal Contract Award ID: 80NSSC18K0951) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop an ensemble of the terrestrial water balance from remote sensing products, evaluate NASA's Land Information System data assimilation performance, and create probabilistic expressions of water cycle fluctuations. This research...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) received a $301,475 research grant from a civilian federal agency effective July 24, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of July 23, 2026. The research investigates the North Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD) of Mars, which consist of mixtures of water ice and dust and are believed to contain a climate record spanning approximately 5 million years. The project will focus on determining the relative ages of layers and accumulation rates of ice...
- This is a $789,050.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado. The award is for research into the storage of water within the magnesium-iron silicate crusts of rocky bodies in our solar system, such as Earth, Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. The contract has an ultimate completion date of January 14, 2026 and was awarded on January 15, 2021. The contract does...
- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is for a research grant to optimize the preparation of macroscopic samples of carbon dioxide (CO2) ice. The goal is to enable measurements of the mechanical properties of CO2 ice, which will improve understanding of its role in driving geological activity on Mars and other solar system bodies. The $21,390.23 grant, awarded by the National...
- This federal contract award from NASA to the University of Colorado Boulder supports research into the early climate of Mars and how water clouds may have contributed to maintaining temperatures near the freezing point. The $363,203.85 grant will fund simulations of past and present Martian climate, with a focus on phenomena like high-altitude clouds and surface frost interactions that could potentially lead to liquid water formation. The work aims to resolve long-standing debates about the...
- This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is for research to improve in-situ snowpack sampling strategies for constraining modeled snow density and snow water equivalent. The $580,528.42 grant has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2023. The research aims to integrate remote sensing, models, and field data to quantify uncertainty in snow models and guide more targeted...
- The University of Colorado has been awarded a $100,000 grant (Contract No. 23-PLANET23-0092) to conduct research on the influence of seasonal frost on the Mars South Polar Residual Cap through a spatial, temporal, and compositional survey. This research grant, awarded January 1, 2025 with a completion deadline of December 31, 2026, will be performed at the university's Boulder, Colorado campus. The award does not include a set-aside designation and represents funding from a civilian federal...
