- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to investigate the behavior of moderately volatile elements during silicate evaporation, such as in tektites and volcanic glass from the moon. The $376,781 award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has an expected completion date of December 31, 2027. The research aims to create a volatility scale ranking how easily different trace elements evaporate, and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $100,000.00 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct collaborative research on the oxidation of planetary mantles and its relation to planetary habitability. The key objectives are to study how iron redox reactions in magma oceans during the early formation of rocky planets, like Earth, can lead to...
- This three-year, $308,318 National Science Foundation project grant funds research at the University of Maryland, College Park to constrain the origin of tungsten in komatiite-basalt systems. The university will obtain high-precision abundance data for trace elements including tungsten in 150 whole-rock samples and major and trace mineral phases from 15 komatiite-basalt systems globally. Researchers will establish bulk and mineral-scale trace element partitioning during magmatic differentiation....
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota, through its Office of Sponsored Projects Administration, received a $286,561 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050).
