Yale University was awarded a $298,718 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The two-year award beginning June 1, 2023 will support research investigating the loss of volatiles from the early Earth's atmosphere and the resulting redox evolution. Specifically, the university will conduct fluid dynamical simulations modeling Earth's post-impact atmosphere incorporating interior heat and solar irradiation. The simulations aim to quantify the extreme period after high-energy impacts and assess evolutionary pathways against geological data and theories. The funding will contribute to mentoring local high school science fair students and support a postdoctoral researcher. The Geosciences program seeks to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
