This $560,337 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports collaborative research at the University of Arizona on the role of moist convection in the atmospheres and evolution of exoplanets and gas giant worlds. The project aims to develop new computational simulation tools to investigate how convective mixing impacts the structure and observational properties of giant planet atmospheres. This research will shed light on the long-term cooling and evolution of our own solar system as well as distant exoplanets. In addition, the project includes efforts to enhance STEM research experiences for undergraduate students from historically marginalized groups through a rapid Python training camp. The award period runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027.
