This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a private research university. The grant, valued at $134,729.03, is for a research project investigating the long-term changes in terrestrial drainage systems and landscape evolution driven by tectonic and climatic forces. The project aims to bridge the gap between the detailed understanding of modern river dynamics and the evidence for large-scale drainage changes observed in the geologic record. The research approach combines observational studies of modern landscapes and analysis of the geologic record, as well as the development of a continental-scale landscape evolution model. This research directly supports NASA's objectives to advance knowledge of the Earth system and the causes of Earth system changes. The grant does not have a set-aside designation.
