- This is a $229,069 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago on September 1, 2016 for the project "Quantifying the Effect of Mars Obliquity on the Intermittency of Post-Noachian Surface Liquid Water". The grant supports research to investigate how variations in Mars' obliquity, or tilt, impacted the presence of intermittent surface liquid water on the planet after the Noachian period. The research will involve modeling...
- The University of Chicago was awarded a $256,831 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct scientific research on modeling the drying out of Mars. The specific focus of this research involves improving fundamental knowledge of how partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) affects the elevation and latitude distribution of surface liquid water potential, with the intent to apply these findings to understanding Martian atmospheric and hydrological processes. The grant is classified as...
- This federal contract award, Grant ID NNX16AJ38G, was granted to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Mars Data Analysis Program. The $250,459.54 grant is funding research to quantify the role of fluvial erosion versus other processes in modifying Noachian craters on Mars. The research aims to better constrain the rates and processes of Noachian landscape evolution, which can inform climate models for early Mars. This grant does not have...
- This is a $550,080.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on the potential formation of near-surface liquid water on Mars. The research will involve a combination of field work in the Antarctic Dry Valleys, a Mars analog environment, and theoretical modeling of brine and vapor transport in permafrost soils. The goal is to better understand the chemical, mineralogical, and isotopic composition of...
- This is a $355,594 grant award from the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the University of Chicago for a research project titled "Linking Rover Observations with Models of Timing and Flow of Surface and Subsurface Waters at Gale Crater." The award, which has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2028, is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, will be conducting this...
- This $318,348 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago for a research project titled "E014042-MARS SEDIMENTATION IN SPACE AND TIME". The contract, which has no set-aside designation, is focused on conducting research related to sediment formation and deposition on Mars. As a renowned private research university, the University of Chicago has a long history of receiving substantial federal funding through...
- This is a $268,102.03 grant awarded to the University of Chicago by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the origin of the volatile envelopes of small-radius exoplanets. The purpose is to improve understanding of the chemical and physical processes that govern exoplanet surfaces, interiors, and atmospheres, as well as the origins of their volatiles. The research will combine models of planet thermal evolution and outgassing to explore two scenarios for how water...
- This is a federal grant award to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $557,150 grant is for the university to execute a balanced science program based on guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, as well as NASA's priorities and direction from Congress. The university will participate as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, focusing on...
- This federal contract award from NASA's Shared Services Center was granted to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, to conduct research on the habitability of water world exoplanets. The $537,298.31 grant funds the development of self-consistently coupled models of exoplanet interior structure, atmospheric radiative transfer, liquid-vapor thermochemical equilibria, and photochemistry. This research aims to delineate the solubility-mediated habitable zone for water...
