Description

THE SPACE BEYOND THE ORBIT OF NEPTUNE IS INHABITED BY PLANETESIMALS LEFT OVER FROM OUR SOLAR SYSTEM S FORMATION 4.5 BILLION YEARS AGO. THESE TRANS-NEPTUNIAN OBJECTS (TNOS) PRESERVE MANY CLUES ABOUT THE EVOLUTION OF OUR PLANETARY SYSTEM. OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE SMALLEST (AND MOST NUMEROUS) TNOS IS GENERALLY DRIVEN BY THEORETICAL MODELS, INDIRECT EVIDENCE, AND ANALYSIS OF THE SPARSE EXISTING DATA. OUR TEAM HAS BEEN ALLOCATED 46.5 NIGHTS ON THE NOAO/CTIO 4-METER BLANCO TELESCOPE WITH DECAM TO CARRY OUT THE DEEP ECLIPTIC EXPLORATION PROJECT (DEEP). THIS NOAO SURVEY PROGRAM WILL BE EXECUTED ACROSS SIX SEMESTERS (2019A-2021B). THE GOALS OF THIS PROJECT ARE (1) TO MEASURE THE SIZE DISTRIBUTION AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF 5000 TNOS DOWN TO VR27 THROUGH SHIFTAND- STACK TECHNIQUES (2) TO MEASURE THE SIZE DISTRIBUTION, COLORS, AND SHAPE DISTRIBUTION OF TNOS AS A FUNCTION OF DYNAMICAL CLASS (3) TO MEASURE THE COLORS, SIZE DISTRIBUTION, AND SHAPE DISTRIBUTION OF SOME 15,000 MAIN BELT ASTEROIDS AND (4) TO ENABLE A RICH ARRAY OF OTHER SCIENCE INVESTIGATIONS. OUR RESULTS WILL HELP ELUCIDATE THE COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE OF THE OUTER SOLAR SYSTEM AND THE ORIGIN OF OUR PLANETARY SYSTEM. OUR TEAM HAS WORLD-CLASS EXPERTISE IN ALL THE TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC AREAS OF THIS PROJECT, AND IN THIS PROPOSAL WE DEMONSTRATE PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM OUR APRIL, 2019, OBSERVING RUN. OUR OBSERVING PLANNING, DATA PROCESSING, AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TASKS ARE ALL WELL-DEFINED AND WELL-HONED, AND THIS PROJECT WILL PRODUCE AT LEAST EIGHT PRIMARY SCIENCE PAPERS. THIS PROGRAM IS RELEVANT TO THE SSO PROGRAM, WHICH HAS AS ITS PRIMARY MISSION "GROUND-BASED ... ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS OF BODIES IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. PROPOSALS ARE SOLICITED FOR OBSERVATIONS ... THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE AND EVOLUTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND ITS INDIVIDUAL CONSTITUENTS." THE WORK THAT WE WILL CARRY OUT IN THIS NOAO SURVEY PROGRAM WILL ELUCIDATE THE NATURE AND EVOLUTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND OF TNOS, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

THE PREVALENCE OF TERRESTRIAL PLANETS EXTRAPOLATED FROM THE KEPLER (AND SOON FROM TESS) RESULTS SUGGESTS THAT MANY YOUNG PLANETARY SYSTEMS MUST BE BUILDING SUCH PLANETS. ALTHOUGH THE POTENTIAL TO STUDY EARTH-LIKE PLANETS IN HABITABLE ZONES HAS ELECTRIFIED THE ASTRONOMICAL COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC, NEARLY ALL OUR EFFORTS TOWARD THIS GOAL ADDRESS MATURE PLANETS. THESE EFFORTS WILL NOT REVEAL THE STEPS BY WHICH THESE PLANETS GROW FROM EMBRYOS TO THEIR CURRENT SIZES THROUGH COLLISIONS OF OBJECTS RANGING IN SIZE FROM ASTEROIDS TO PROTOPLANETS, A PROCESS THAT LASTS FOR THE FIRST 200 MYR OF THEIR EXISTENCE. OBSERVATIONAL PROBES OF THIS PROCESS HAVE BEEN VERY LIMITED. HOWEVER, UP TO 10% OF STARS IN

Description

OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS THE ADVENT OF ATOMIC LAYER DEPOSITION (ALD) TECHNOLOGY HAS OPENED NEW CAPABILITIES TO THE FIELD OF COATINGS DEPOSITION FOR USE IN OPTICAL ELEMENTS. AT THE SAME TIME, THERE HAVE BEEN MAJOR ADVANCES IN BOTH OPTICAL DESIGNS AND DETECTOR TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN PROVIDE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE IMPROVEMENT IN THROUGHPUT IN THE FAR ULTRAVIOLET (FUV) AND NEAR ULTRAVIOLET (NUV) PASSBANDS. RECENT REVIEW WORK HAS SHOWN THAT A VERITABLE REVOLUTION IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN ASTRONOMICAL DIAGNOSTIC WORK FOR TARGETS RANGING FROM PROTOSTELLAR AND PROTOPLANETARY SYSTEMS, TO THE INTERGALACTIC MEDIUM THAT FEEDS GAS SUPPLIES FOR GALACTIC STAR FORMATION, TO THE MOST DISTANT OF OBJECTS IN THE EARLY UNIVERSE. THESE DIAGNOSTICS ARE ROOTED IN ACCESS TO A FOREST OF EMISSION AND ABSORPTION LINES IN THE ULTRAVIOLET (UV)], AND ALL THAT PREVENTS THIS ADVANCE IS THE LACK OF THROUGHPUT IN SUCH SYSTEMS, EVEN IN SPACE-BASED CONDITIONS. WE PROPOSE TO USE A RANGE OF MATERIALS TO IMPLEMENT STABLE OPTICAL LAYERS SUITABLE FOR PROTECTIVE OVERCOATS WITH HIGH UV REFLECTIVITY AND UNPRECEDENTED UNIFORMITY, AND USE THAT CAPABILITY TO LEVERAGE INNOVATIVE ULTRAVIOLET/OPTICAL FILTER CONSTRUCTION TO ENABLE THE TYPE OF SCIENCE DESCRIBED ABOVE. THE MATERIALS WE WILL USE INCLUDE ALUMINUM OXIDE AND HAFNIUM OXIDE (AS AN INTERMEDIARY STEP FOR DEVELOPMENT ONLY) AND PROGRESSING TO A RANGE OF FLUORIDE-BASED COMPOUNDS (FOR PRODUCTION). THESE MATERIALS WILL BE DEPOSITED IN A MULTILAYER FORMAT OVER A METAL BASE TO PRODUCE A STABLE CONSTRUCT. SPECIFICALLY, WE WILL EMPLOY THE USE OF PEALD (PLASMA-ENHANCED ATOMIC LAYER DEPOSITION) METHODS FOR THE DEPOSITION AND CONSTRUCTION OF REFLECTIVE LAYERS THAT CAN BE USED TO CONSTRUCT UNPRECEDENTED FILTER DESIGNS FOR USE IN THE ULTRAVIOLET. OUR DESIGNS INDICATE THAT BY USING PEALD, WE CAN FURTHER REDUCE ADSORPTION AND SCATTERING IN THE OPTICAL FILMS AS A RESULT OF THE LOWER CONCENTRATION OF IMPURITIES AND INCREASED CONTROL OVER THE STOICHIOMETRY TO PRODUCE VASTLY SUPERIOR QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OVER COMPARABLE TRADITIONAL THERMAL ALD TECHNIQUES CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED BY OTHER NASAFUNDED GROUPS.

RESEARCH PRODUCTS. RESEARCH PRODUCTS OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDE STUDIES OF GENES THAT MAY BE EPIGENETICALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO SPACE IONIZING RADIATION (IR) AND MICROGRAVITY AND HOW THESE CHANGES AFFECT ENDOCRINE REGULATION OF GENES INVOLVED IN DNA DAMAGE RESPONSE (DDR) AND CELL CYCLE CONTROL. THE TERM EPIGENETICS REFERS TO CHANGES IN GENE EXPRESSION IN THE ABSENCE OF DNA SEQUENCE MODIFICATIONS AND INCLUDES CPG METHYLATION, HISTONE MODIFICATIONS (E.G. HISTONE ACETYLATION, METHYLATION), AND EXPRESSION OF NON-CODING RNAS (E.G. MICRORNAS). TYPE OF INVESTIGATION. THIS IS A GROUND-BASED NEW SPACE BIOLOGY (NSB) PROPOSAL THAT INVESTIGATES ONE OF THE MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE 2011 DECADAL SURVEY RELATED TO THE INFLUENCE OF THE SPACE ENVIRONMENT ON ANIMAL CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. THIS WORK IS RESPONSIVE TO THE SPACE CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 2018 NASA OMNIBUS RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT SOLICITING RESEARCH ANSWERS AS TO HOW THE SPACE ENVIRONMENT CAUSES EPIGENETIC CHANGES. KEY ELEMENTS OF THE SPACE ENVIRONMENT INCLUDE IR AND GRAVITY (I.E. MICROGRAVITY, HYPERGRAVITY) WHICH HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED TO ALTER A VARIETY OF BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES INCLUDING ENDOCRINE SYSTEMS (SUB-TOPIC AB1-B). THE CENTRAL HYPOTHESIS OF THIS PROPOSAL IS THAT IR AND MICROGRAVITY ALTER EPIGENETICALLY ENDOCRINE REGULATION OF DDR AND CELL CYCLE CONTROL IN MAMMARY EPITHELIAL CELLS. THE RATIONALE FOR THIS HYPOTHESIS STEMS FROM OUR OWN AND PUBLISHED EVIDENCE THAT 1) THE ESTROGEN RECEPTOR-ALPHA (ERALPHA) ACTIVATES EPIGENETICALLY THE BRCA1 GENE, WHICH PARTICIPATES WITH OTHER DDR FACTORS (EG. ATAXIA TELANGIECTASIA MUTATED, ATM ATAXIA TELANGIECTASIA AND RAD-3 RELATED, ATR) IN REGULATION OF DNA REPAIR DURING THE S AND G2 PHASES OF THE CELL CYCLE AND 2) CONVERSELY, ACTIVATION OF THE ARYL HYDROCARBON RECEPTOR (AHR) PREVENTS ERALPHA-DEPENDENT ACTIVATION OF BRCA1. BECAUSE IR AND MICROGRAVITY REGULATE AHR ACTIVITY, WE WILL TEST IF IR, MICROGRAVITY, AND THEIR COMBINATION ALTER EPIGENETICALLY THE DDR AND CELL CYCLE REGULATION. SPECIFIC AIMS. SPECIFIC AIMS OF THIS NSB PROJECT ARE TO INVESTIGATE IN HUMAN MAMMARY EPITHELIAL CELLS UNDER ENDOCRINE STIMULATION THE EPIGENETIC EFFECTS OF IR (AIM 1) AND MICROGRAVITY ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH IR (AIM 2) ON EXPRESSION OF GENES INVOLVED IN DDR AND CELL CYCLE REGULATION. OUTLINE OF THE PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH THE SPECIFIC AIMS. AIM 1. HUMAN MAMMARY EPITHELIAL CELLS (HMEC, MCF10A) WILL BE CULTURED IN 2D TISSUE CULTURE DISHES IN THE PRESENCE OF ESTROGEN TO SIMULATE THE PHYSIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE UNDER NORMAL GRAVITY OF MAMMARY EPITHELIAL CELLS TO OVARIAN ESTROGENS. CELLS WILL BE EXPOSED FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME (I.E. SHORT-, 1, 2, AND 3 DAYS MEDIUM-, 6, 12, 18 DAYS AND LONG-TERM, 24, 36, AND 48 DAYS) TO 3 DOSES (0.5, 1.0, AND 2.0 MSV/DAY) OF IR. AIM 2. MAMMARY EPITHELIAL CELLS (HMEC, MCF10A) WILL BE CULTURED IN 2D, OR TO SIMULATE MICROGRAVITY, IN ROTATING WALL VESSEL (RWV) BIOREACTOR 3D CULTURES IN THE PRESENCE OF ESTROGEN WITHOUT OR WITH IR (0.5, 1.0, AND 2.0 MSV/DAY) FOR VARIOUS PERIODS OF TIME (I.E. SHORT-, MEDIUM, AND LONG-TERM). DETERMINATIONS WILL INCLUDE CHANGES IN: (I) MRNA AND PROTEIN EXPRESSION OF BRCA1, ATM, ATR, ERALPHA, AHR, AND AHR NUCLEAR TRANSLOCATOR (ARNT) RESPECTIVELY BY RT-PCR AND WESTERN BLOTTING (II) CPG METHYLATION AT BRCA1, ATM, AND ATR GENES BY METHYLATION-SPECIFIC RT-PCR (III) LEVELS OF ACETYLATED HISTONE 3 (ACH3) AND TRIMETHYLATED LYSINE 27 AT HISTONE-3 AT THE BRCA1, ATM, AND ATR GENES BY CHROMATIN IMMUNOPRECIPITATION (CHIP) ASSAY (IV) RECRUITMENT OF DNA METHYLTRANSFERASE-1 (DNMT1) AND DNMT3A, LYSINE-SPECIFIC DEMETHYLASE-1 (LSD1), HISTONE DEACETYLASE-1 (HDAC1), AND PCG ENHANCER OF ZESTE HOMOLOGUE 2 (EZH2) AT THE BRCA1, ATM, AND ATR GENES BY CHIP ASSAY (V) GENOME-WIDE PROFILE OF GENES TARGETED BY THE ERALPHA AND AHR BY CHIPSEQUENCING (VI) DNA DOUBLE STRAND BREAKS BY IMMUNO-DETECTION OF GAMMA-H2AX FOCI AND (VII) CELL CYCLE DISTRIBUTION BY FLOW CYTOMETRY.

AT THE GLOBAL SCALE, THE GREATEST UNCERTAINTY IN FOREST BIOMASS ESTIMATES (IN UNITS OF CARBON MASS PER LAND AREA) IS IN THE HIGHEST BIOMASS SYSTEMS. BECAUSE OF THE STRONG RELATIONSHIP OF TREE HEIGHT TO BIOMASS, THESE HIGH BIOMASS SYSTEMS COINCIDE WITH TALL FOREST CANOPIES. TROPICAL FOREST BIOMASS ESTIMATES REPRESENT THE LARGEST UNCERTAINTY IN THE BIOTIC CARBON CYCLE, WHICH IS MAKING FUTURE CLIMATE PREDICTION DIFFICULT. THE BIGGEST ERROR IN AMAZONIAN BIOMASS ESTIMATES IS IN TREE HEIGHT AND WOOD DENSITY. NEW TECHNOLOGIES ARE ENABLING THE DETECTION OF CANOPIES OF EXCEPTIONAL HEIGHT IN AMAZONIA AND IN MALAYSIA, BUT THE RELATION OF THESE TALL FORESTS TO BIOMASS IS STILL UNCERTAIN. IN THE TEMPERATE ZONE, TALL FORESTS ARE FOUND IN COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXTREME, RAINFALL PLENTIFUL, AND SOILS RELATIVELY FERTILE. PRIME EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE CONIFEROUS FORESTS OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA. WE PROPOSE TO EVALUATE GEDI BIOMASS ESTIMATES IN EXCEPTIONALLY TALL FORESTS WHERE WE HAVE WORKED EXTENSIVELY AND HAVE DATA THAT CAN BE USED TO IMPROVE THESE ESTIMATES. ROBUST ALLOMETRIC EQUATIONS FOR SEQUOIA SEMPERVIRENS FORESTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FOR ALL VASCULAR PLANT SPECIES IN THESE ECOSYSTEMS BASED ON INTENSIVE MEASUREMENTS OF STANDING TREES AND LIMITED DESTRUCTIVE SAMPLING IN BOTH TALL OLDGROWTH AND SHORTER REGENERATING FORESTS. A NETWORK OF FIXED AREA PLOTS HAS ESTABLISHED PLOTS THAT INCLUDES 5-YR RE-MEASUREMENTS OF ALL VEGETATION AND ANNUAL MORTALITY CHECKS TO QUANTIFY ABOVEGROUND BIOMASS, LEAF AREA, AND GROWTH INCREMENTS. HERE WE WILL LEVERAGE DETAILED GROUND-BASED STUDIES TO EVALUATE GEDI BIOMASS ESTIMATES AND IDENTIFY SOURCES OF ERROR. IN TROPICAL FORESTS, WE HAVE DETAILED ESTIMATES OF TREE HEIGHT, BIOMASS, WOOD DENSITY FROM 180, 1 HA PLOTS (35 WITH TRAITS AND SPECTRAL PROPERTIES) ACROSS THE KEY TROPICAL BIOMES OF AMAZONIA, THE CONGO BASIN AND BORNEO. WE WILL USE GEDI, OUR GROUND-BASED DATA TO IMPROVE ALLOMETRIC EQUATIONS AND BIOMASS PREDICTIONS AT THESE SITES. FURTHER, WE WILL USE DESIS HYPERSPECTRAL DATA TO CREATE AN ALGORITHM PREDICTING WOOD DENSITY AT THESE SITES. IN PREVIOUS WORK, WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY OF HYPERSPECTRAL LEAF LEVEL REMOTE SENSING TO ACCURATELY PREDICT WOOD DENSITY IN BORNEO AND PERU. OVERALL, OUR WORK WILL GREATLY IMPROVE GEDI PLOT-LEVEL BIOMASS PREDICTIONS IN THE REGIONS OF THE GREATEST UNCERTAINTY. WE WILL FURTHER EXPLORE AN EXCITING NOVEL HYPOTHESIS THAT CANOPY HEIGHT MAY HAVE CHANGED IN DIFFERENT FORESTED REGIONS IN RECENT DECADES BECAUSE OF THE BALANCE OF INFLUENCES BY RISING CO2 AND VPD. WITH RISING CO2, WATER USE EFFICIENCY (WUE, CO2 ASSIMILATION PER UNIT WATER LOSS) HAS INCREASED OVER THE PAST 20 YEARS MAINLY THROUGH REDUCTIONS IN ET BY ~80 G H2O M2 HA2. IN THEORY, INCREASED WUE MAY ALLOW THE TALLEST TREES TO GROW TALLER. IN REGIONS WHERE VAPOR PRESSURE DEFICIT (VPD) HAS INCREASED STRONGLY IN RECENT DECADES, WATER STRESS MAY HAVE INCREASED IN TREETOPS AND CAUSED A REDUCTION OF CANOPY HEIGHT. WE PROPOSE TO IDENTIFY FORESTED REGIONS WHERE INCREASED WUE AND VPD SHOULD HAVE DRIVEN INCREASES OR DECREASES IN TREE HEIGHT BASED ON THEORETICAL CONSIDERATIONS, AND THEN WE WILL COMPARE OUR ESTIMATES TO OBSERVATIONS OF CHANGE IN CANOPY STRUCTURE USING GLAS AND GEDI DATA. WE RECOGNIZE THAT BOTH GEDI AND GLAS HAVE LARGE VERTICAL UNCERTAINTIES IN TREE HEIGHT. HOWEVER, WITH MILLIONS OF CANOPY HEIGHTS AVAILABLE, A POWER ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE A STATISTICAL DIFFERENCE GIVEN MODERATE HEIGHT GROWTH (~20CM ACCORDING TO THE POWER ANALYSIS), AND THUS TEST WHETHER THE GROWTH MATCHES OUR THEORETICAL EXPECTATIONS. ALTHOUGH HEIGHT CHANGE ALONE IS INSUFFICIENT TO INFER SHORT-TERM BIOMASS CHANGE, THIS ELEMENT OF OUR PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL ESTABLISH A FOUNDATION FOR LINKING REMOTELY SENSED CANOPY HEIGHT TO ENVIRONMENTAL DRIVERS OF FOREST STRUCTURE THAT ARE EXPECTED TO ALTER FOREST BIOMASS IN THE FUTURE.

Description

INVESTIGATION OF NANOPRECIPITATES WITHIN METEORITIC METALS AS TRACERS OF EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM PROCESSES GOALS: HERE IS PROPOSED A TEM- AND MICRO-PIXE-BASED STUDY OF NANOPRECIPITATE STRUCTURES, COMPOSITIONS, AND DISTRIBUTIONS WITHIN IRON METEORITES AND IRON-RICH METEORITES. THE PRELIMINARY STUDIES SHOW THAT NANOPRECIPITATES ARE THE HOSTS FOR MANY OF THE TRACE ELEMENTS IN THE METEORITES, AND REVEALING THEIR DISTRIBUTION IS IMPORTANT FOR UNDERSTANDING THE FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM MATERIALS. THIS STUDY WILL ALSO BE EXTENDED TO METALS IN BENCUBBINITES (CB CHONDRITES), WHICH ARE PRIMITIVE, METAL-RICH BRECCIAS CLOSELY RELATED TO CR AND CH CHONDRITES. THE DISPARATE ORIGINS AND THERMAL HISTORIES OF THE METAL FROM IRON METEORITES AND BENCUBBINITES WILL PROVIDE VALUABLE INFORMATION ON NANOPRECIPITATE FORMATION AND COMPOSITION. INTRODUCTION: TRACE ELEMENTS IN IRON METEORITES ARE USED TO MODEL CRYSTALLIZATION PROCESSES THAT OCCURED WITHIN ASTEROIDAL CORES AND TO HELP ELUCIDATE THE FORMATION AND THERMAL HISTORY OF METAL DURING NEBULAR AND PLANETARY DIFFERENTIATION PROCESSES. WHILE TRACE ELEMENTS ARE DETERMINED BY A NUMBER OF ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES SUCH AS SIMS AND LASER ABLATION ICPMS, THESE METHODS PROVIDE LITTLE DATA ON THE TRACE-ELEMENT HOSTS. STUDIES OF STEELS AND ALLOYS REVEAL THAT MINOR AND TRACE ELEMENTS OFTEN CONCENTRATE IN NANOPRECIPITATES, AND THERE HAS BEEN EXTENSIVE STUDY OF THEIR FORMATION. THEIR CHEMISTRY, MORPHOLOGY, AND DISTRIBUTION PROVIDES KEY INFORMATION ON A SAMPLES THERMAL HISTORY. FURTHER, THE ROLE OF TRACE ELEMENTS IN ALLOY FORMATION, SOLIDIFICATION, AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES IS WELL DOCUMENTED. IN CONTRAST, THERE ARE VIRTUALLY NO STUDIES OF NON-METAL AND PGE-RICH NANOPRECIPITATES IN IRON METEORITES. PRELIMINARY WORK: I INITIATED A PRELIMINARY TEM-EDS-EELS STUDY AND FOUND ABUNDANT NANOPRECIPITATES OF UNUSUAL COMPOSITIONS IN A RANGE OF IRONS AND A STONY-IRON METEORITE: ODESSA (IAB-MG), BUTLER (UNGROUPED), GIBEON (IVA), CANYON DIABLO (IAB-MG), DEEP SPRINGS (UNGROUPED), BRENHAM (PMG-AN), HENBURY (IIIAB), AND GRESSK (IIAB). NANOPRECIPITATES WERE EXTRACTED BY CUTTING A FRESH SURFACE FOLLOWED BY ETCHING WITH EITHER HNO3/METHANOL OR LIQUID BROMINE. THIS SURFACE WAS THEN COATED WITH A THIN LAYER OF C, WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY FLOATED OFF THE METEORITE BY PLACING THE SAMPLE BACK IN THE ETCHANT. THE ADHERING NANOPRECIPITATES WERE THEN STUDIED BY TEM-EDS-EELS. A WIDE RANGE OF NANOPARTICLES WAS DISCOVERED, E.G., PD-BEARING ALLOYS, PGE NUGGETS, GE- AND GA- RICH NI PHOSPHIDES, CR-MO NITRIDES, AND CR SULFIDES WITH PGES. COMPOSITE NANOPRECIPITATES WERE ALSO FOUND IN CANYON DIABLO AND ODESSA, INCLUDING CR-MO NITRIDES WITH ADHERING CAPS OF PD-SN OR FE-NI-P PARTICLES. THESE COMPOSITE NANOPRECIPITATES PROVIDE INFORMATION ON PRECIPITATION SEQUENCE. PROPOSED RESEARCH: NANOPARTICLES WILL BE EXTRACTED AND CHARACTERIZED BY TEM AND ELECTRON-BEAM TECHNIQUES. GIVEN THE CHALLENGES OF QUANTIFYING HEAVY ELEMENTS BY EDS AND EELS, I WILL ALSO USE THE MICRO-PIXE AT ASU FOR THEIR ELEMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE NANOSCALE PHASE PETROLOGY OF METAL SYSTEMS, WHICH HAS AN IMPORTANT BEARING ON TRACE ELEMENT BEHAVIOR AND IN SOME CASES, LARGER SCALE STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF METAL-RICH METEORITES. PROGRAMMATIC CONSIDERATIONS: THE PROPOSED STUDY IS DESIGNED TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT ADVANCES IN OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE SOLID-STATE HISTORIES OF METEORITES, THEIR FORMATION, AND ACCRETION. BY ADDRESSING PROBLEMS RELATED TO PROCESSES THAT OCCURRED IN THE EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM, WE WILL PROVIDE FUNDAMENTAL NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE ORIGIN OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM AND ITS SOLID BODIES. AS SUCH THE PROPOSED RESEARCH ENCOMPASSES THE SCOPE OF THE EMERGING WORLDS PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ... ANSWER THE FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE QUESTION OF HOW THE SOLAR SYSTEM FORMED AND EVOLVED ... AND ... CONDUCT SCIENTIFIC INVENSTIGATIONS RELATED TO UNDERSTANDING THE FORMATION AND EARLY EVOLUTION OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.

INVESTIGATING THE COSMOLOGICAL AND THEORETICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE SWIFT DISCOVERY OF BI-MODALITY IN THE UV-OPTICAL COLORS OF NORMAL TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE OBTAINING OBSERVATIONS AS A SECONDARY SCIENCE GOAL OF THE GRB MISSION SWIFT, THE 30CM UVOT CAMERA HAS DISCOVERED A BI-MODALITY IN NUV-OPTICAL EMISSION FROM THE NORMAL TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE (SNEIA) USED AS COSMOLOGICAL DISTANCE INDICATORS. THE BI-MODALITY, WITH NUV-RED (NUVR) AND NUV-BLUE (NUVB) SNE, WAS APPARENT BECAUSE UVOT HAS INCREASED BY TWO ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE THE NUMBER OF UV OBSERVATIONS OF THIS TYPE OF SN. AS A FOLLOW-UP TO THE UVOT DISCOVERY, THIS BI-MODALITY HAS ALSO BEEN SEEN IN THE LOW-Z, MID-Z AND HIGH-Z SN SURVEY DATA OBTAINED WITH HST, KECK, VLT AND GEMINI. THE BI-MODALITY WAS ED, BUT WITH A REVERSAL OF DOMINANCE FROM NUVR EVENTS IN THE LOCAL UNIVERSE TO NUVB AT HIGH-Z. THIS MEANS THAT THE LOCAL SNEIA THAT TRAIN DISTANCE-DETERMINATION ROUTINES DIFFER FROM THE FAR-AWAY SNE IA WHOSE DISTANCES ARE ESTIMATED WITH THE ROUTINES. FURTHER, THE GROUP THAT DOMINATES AT HIGH REDSHIFT IS ALSO SLIGHTLY BLUER IN THE OPTICAL WAVELENGTH RANGE, MEANING THAT EXTINCTION ESTIMATES ARE LIKELY SYSTEMATICALLY LOW FOR THE SNE IA AT COSMOLOGICAL DISTANCES. IF THE EXTINCTION ESTIMATES ARE TRULY UNDER-ESTIMATED, THE ACCELERATION OF THE UNIVERSE'S EXPANSION WOULD BE LOWER THAN CURRENTLY THOUGHT LEADING TO A LOWER AMOUNT OF DARK ENERGY. THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF THIS DISCOVERY UPON BOTH SN COSMOLOGY AND SN THEORY DEMAND A CONCENTRATED EFFORT TO EXPLORE ITS FULL RAMIFICATIONS. THIS PROPOSAL SEEKS SUPPORT BOTH TO DRAMATICALLY INCREASE THE UVOT SAMPLE OF NUVR AND NUVB SNE BEYOND THE SAMPLE IN, AND TO ENHANCE THE SAMPLE WITH OBSERVATIONS MADE IN OTHER WAVELENGTHS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES IN THE SN EMISSION,THE EXPLOSION PHYSICS AND EXPLOSION PROGENITORS. FOR COSMOLOGY, WE WILL DETERMINE THE ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDES OF THE SNE IN THE UVOT SAMPLE, UTILIZING EXISTING CEPHEID OR SBF DISTANCES FOR VERY NEARBY SNE, AND UTILIZING HUBBLE FLOW DISTANCES FOR SLIGHTLY FURTHER SNE. DETERMINING WHETHER NUVR AND NUVB SNE IA DIFFER IN ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDE IS IMPORTANT IN THE UV FILTERS, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE OPTICAL FILTERS, WHERE MEASUREMENTS THAT DISCOVERED THE ACCELERATING UNIVERSE DID NOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THESE TWO GROUPS. TOWARDS THE THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BI-MODALITY, WE WILL DELVE FURTHER INTO THE EMERGING CORRELATIONS PRESENT IN THE INITIAL SAMPLE. AS THE UV EMISSION IS A SENSITIVE PROBE OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF IRON-PEAK ELEMENTS IN THE SN EJECTA, THE UVOT LIGHT CURVES ARE REVEALING THE NATURE OF THE EXPLOSIVE NUCLEOSYNTHESIS IN THE SN EXPLOSION. THIS IS IMPORTANT AS THE GREATEST MYSTERY OF SNE~IA "WHAT IS THE PROGENITOR SYSTEM THAT LEADS TO A SNIA?", REMAINS PARTIALLY UNANSWERED. THE NUVB EVENTS APPEAR TO CORRELATE WITH THE DETECTION OF CARBON IN THE OPTICAL SPECTRA, WHICH HAS BEEN SUGGESTED TO BE DUE TO PRESENCE OF AN UNBURBED CARBON CAP IN THE OUTER LAYERS OF THE EJECTA. NUVB EVENTS ARE ALL OF THE LOW-SILICON VELOCITY GROUP AND THE MAJORITY OF NUVB EVENTS OCCUR IN EARLY (E/S0) GALAXIES. THE THEORETICAL WORK WILL ADVANCE THROUGH MORE SNE INCLUDED IN THE INVESTIGATION, BUT ALSO BECAUSE MORE INFORMATION WILL BE INCLUDED FOR EACH SN. PECULIAR SNEIA COMPRISE ROUGHLY HALF OF THE 200 SNEIA OBSERVED WITH UVOT. DISTINCTIVE FEATURES IN THE UV-OPT COLOR EVOLUTION HAVE REVEALED A NUMBER OF INTERESTING CHARACTERISTICS IN THESE EVENTS, IN SOME CASES APPEARING QUITE SIMILAR TO NORMAL SNEIA, BUT IN OTHER CASES DIFFERING APPRECIABLY. OBSERVING AND CATEGORIZING THESE DIFFERENCES WILL IMPROVE THE THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE EXPLOSION PHYSICS AND PROGENITOR SYSTEM OF ALL SNEIA. COLLECTIVELY, THESE EFFORTS WILL MAXIMIZE THE SCIENTIFIC RETURN FROM THE VERY SUCCESSFUL NASA SWIFT MISSION. TEN YEARS OF OBSERVATIONS AND EFFORT HAVE AFFORDED INSIGHT INTO THE CAPABILITIES OF THE UVOT FOR SNIA SCIENCE, THREE MORE YEARS OF CONCENTRATED EFFORT WILL PRODUCE BREAKTHROUGHS IN THE STUDY OF SNEIA, AS WELL

IN SEVERAL REGIONS OF THE EARTH, UPPER MANTLE VISCOSITY DEPARTS FROM THE GLOBAL AVERAGE VALUES, AFFECTING SLAB DEFORMATION, LITHOSPHEREMANTLE COUPLING, GLACIAL ISOSTATIC ADJUSTMENT MODELS, ETC. HERE WE ESTIMATE THE LARGE SCALE LATERAL VARIATIONS OF VISCOSITY IN THE UPPER MANTLE OF THE WESTERN UNITED STATES COMPARED TO THE GLOBAL AVERAGE. WE PERFORM THIS ESTIMATE BY EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MANTLE DENSITY ANOMALIES, MANTLE RHEOLOGY, AND THE GEOID. EARTH'S LONG-WAVELENGTH STATIC GRAVITY FIELD IS A FUNCTION OF BOTH THE MASS DENSITY DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE EARTH AND THE DEFORMATION DUE TO THE DYNAMIC FLOW IN THE MANTLE DRIVEN BY THIS DENSITY DISTRIBUTION. BEGINNING IN THE LATE 1980S AND CONTINUING SINCE, STUDIES HAVE RELATED THE DENSITY STRUCTURE OF THE MANTLE, ESTIMATED BY SEISMIC TOMOGRAPHY, AND ITS FLOW TO THE GRAVITY FIELD OBSERVED AT THE SURFACE TO INFER THE RHEOLOGY OF THE MANTLE. THIS WORK WAS ACCOMPLISHED MAINLY BY TWO METHODS. IN THE FIRST METHOD, ONE-DIMENSIONAL 'GEOID KERNELS' WERE DEVELOPED WHICH ARE SEMI-ANALYTIC GREEN'S FUNCTIONS RELATING DENSITY ANOMALIES IN THE MANTLE TO GRAVITY OBSERVATIONS AT THE SURFACE. IN THE SECOND METHOD, FULLY NUMERICAL (E.G. FINITE-ELEMENT) 3D CALCULATIONS ALSO SOLVE THE FORWARD PROBLEM, BUT AT GREATER COMPUTATIONAL COST. IF WE WISH TO CONSIDER LATERAL VARIATIONS IN MANTLE VISCOSITY WE HAVE, UNTIL NOW, BEEN LIMITED TO USING FULLY NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS. IN THIS PROPOSAL, WE UPDATE THE CLASSICAL SEMI-ANALYTIC METHOD TO STUDY LATERAL VARIATIONS IN MANTLE RHEOLOGY BY ALTERING THE OBSERVABLES USED (I.E. THE GRAVITY FIELD) SO THAT THE RELATION BETWEEN DENSITY ANOMALIES AND GRAVITY REMAINS 1D IN A LOCAL REGION. BY REPRESENTING THE GRAVITY FIELD IN AN ALTERNATE BASIS SET TO SPHERICAL HARMONICS, SLEPIAN FUNCTIONS, WE LOCALIZE NASA'S DATA TO SPECIFIC REGIONS OF THE GLOBE AND FOCUS ON THE MANTLE RHEOLOGY OF THE WESTERN UNITED STATES, COMPARING THIS REGION WITH THE RHEOLOGY THAT CAN BE DETERMINED GLOBALLY. WE WILL USE OBSERVATIONS OF THE STATIC GRAVITY FIELD WHICH HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED SINCE THE LAUNCH OF THE GRACE (GRAVITY RECOVERY AND CLIMATE EXPERIMENT) SATELLITE MISSION IN 2002. ALSO IN THIS REGION RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN SEISMIC MODELS WILL IMPROVE THE RESULTING RESOLUTION COMPARED TO USING GLOBAL SEISMIC MODELS. WITH THE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE OF DETERMINING LARGE SCALE LATERAL VARIATIONS IN MANTLE RHEOLOGY WE 1) DEVELOP FULLY 3D SLEPIAN GEOID KERNELS WHICH NOW RELATE DENSITY ANOMALIES IN SPECIFIC VOLUMES OF MANTLE TO GRAVITY AT THE SURFACE. WE PAIR THESE SEMI-ANALYTIC KERNELS WITH 3D NUMERICAL RESULTS USING THE OPEN SOURCE GEODYNAMIC CODE ASPECT TO VERIFY THE ADEQUACY OF THIS METHOD AT REGIONAL SCALES IN THE FORWARD PROBLEM. WE THEN USE OUR SLEPIAN GEOID KERNELS TO CAST THE STUDY AS A REGIONAL INVERSE PROBLEM USING MARKOV-CHAIN MONTE-CARLO METHODS. USING THIS METHOD WE 2) EXAMINE LARGE AND RELATIVELY SIMPLE AREAS OF THE EARTH, INCLUDING THE PACIFIC OCEAN BASIN, TO ESTIMATE THE RADIAL MANTLE VISCOSITY PROFILE WHICH BEST EXPLAINS THE GEOID IN THE LOCAL REGION OF INTEREST. ADDITIONALLY WE 3) EXAMINE THE VISCOSITY OF AN AREA WITH MORE COMPLEXITY, NOTABLY NORTH AMERICA. HERE, WE CAN MAKE USE OF IMPROVED SEISMOLOGICAL MODELS OF THE UPPER MANTLE AS WELL AS SEMI-ANALYTICAL SPECTRAL SOLUTIONS OF GLACIAL ISOSTATIC ADJUSTMENT TO INCLUDE GEOID RATES OF CHANGE IN OUR LOCALIZED ANALYSIS. FINALLY WE 4) USE THE INFORMATION LEARNED IN PREVIOUS OBJECTIVES TO UPDATE THE LONG-TERM SECULAR RATES OF CHANGE OF ICE MASS BALANCE OF EARTH'S LARGE ICE SHEETS USING TIME-VARIABLE GRAVIMETRY FROM THE GRACE MISSION. GIVEN THAT CORRECTIONS FOR SOLID EARTH DEFORMATION ARE AMONG THE LARGEST SOURCE OF UNCERTAINTY IN ICE SHEET MASS BALANCE, IMPROVEMENT IN THESE DEFORMATION MODELS, AND THE MANTLE RHEOLOGY ON WHICH THEY ARE BASED, WILL REDUCE UNCERTAINTY IN ICE SHEET MASS BALANCE RATES.

COMPARISON OF CENTRAL PIT CRATERS ON VOLATILE POOR AND VOLATILE RICH BODIES VIKING AND VOYAGER IMAGERY FIRST REVEALED THE ABUNDANCE OF IMPACT CRATERS WITH INTERIOR PITS ON MARS, GANYMEDE, AND CALLISTO IN THE LATE 1970S. THE APPARENT LACK OF CENTRAL PIT CRATERS ON THE MOON AND MERCURY LED TO THE THEORY THAT SUBSURFACE VOLATILES WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FORMATION OF THIS CRATER MORPHOLOGY. HOWEVER, RECENT HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGERY OF MERCURIAN CRATERS FROM MESSENGER AND OF LUNAR CRATERS FROM THE LUNAR RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER LRO REVEAL THAT SOME CRATERS ON THESE BODIES DO DISPLAY CENTRAL PITS. THIS DISCOVERY INDICATES THAT EITHER 1. THE MOON AND MERCURY ARE MORE VOLATILE-RICH THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT, OR 2. THE CENTRAL PIT MORPHOLOGY CAN FORM IN THE ABSENCE OF A VOLATILE RICH CRUST. THE FIRST QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IS HOW THE LUNAR AND MERCURIAN CENTRAL PIT CRATERS COMPARE IN THEIR MORPHOLOGIC AND MORPHOMETRIC PROPERTIES TO THEIR COUNTERPARTS ON MARS, GANYMEDE, AND CALLISTO. THE SECOND QUESTION TO BE ADDRESSED IS HOW OUR UNDERSTANDING OF CENTRAL PIT FORMATION NEEDS TO BE REVISED IF VOLATILES ARE NOT NECESSARY FOR PIT FORMATION. THE PROPOSED INVESTIGATION WILL 1. COMPILE DATABASES OF THE MORPHOLOGIC AND MORPHOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ALL CENTRAL PIT CRATERS ON MERCURY, THE MOON, AND CALLLISTO USING MESSENGER, LRO, AND VOYAGER GALILEO DATA, RESPECTIVELY, 2. CONDUCT A COMPARISON STUDY OF THE CENTRAL PIT CHARACTERISTICS FOR CRATERS ON VOLATILE RICH BODIES CALLISTO AND EXISTING DATA ACQUIRED FOR CENTRAL PIT CRATERS ON MARS AND GANYMEDE FROM PRIOR CURRENT MDAP AND OPR FUNDING, RESPECTIVELY, TO THE PI AND VOLATILE POOR BODIES THE MOON AND MERCURY, 3. USE THE RESULTS FROM STEPS 1 AND 2 TO INVESTIGATE THE GEOGRAPHIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH CENTRAL PIT CRATERS FORM ON THESE FIVE BODIES, AND 4. UTILIZE THE RESULTS FROM THIS STUDY TO DETERMINE WHETHER A SINGLE FORMATION MODEL CAN EXPLAIN CENTRAL PIT CRATERS ON VOLATILE RICH AND VOLATILE POOR BODIES OR IF MULTIPLE WORKING HYPOTHESES ARE NEEDED. THIS INVESTIGATION WILL PROVIDE THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE COMPARISON STUDY OF CENTRAL PIT CRATERS THROUGHOUT THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO WHAT THESE CRATERS ARE TELLING US ABOUT THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THEY FORM.

Description

THE PLANETARY LEARNING THAT ADVANCES THE NEXUS OF ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGY, AND SCIENCE PLANETS PROJECT IS AN INNOVATIVE COLLABORATIVE PARTNERSHIP TO DEVELOP THREE OUT OF SCHOOL TIME OST MODULES THAT INTEGRATE PLANETARY SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING. THE CENTER FOR SCIENCE TEACHING AND LEARNING AT NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITY THE USGS ASTROGEOLOGY SCIENCE CENTER THE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE BOSTON AND OST NETWORKS WILL PROVIDE STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS WITH CURRENT RELEVANT AND ENGAGING PLANETARY SCIENCE CONTENT DELIVERED THROUGH OST SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES. PLANETS AIMS TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND USE OF NASA RESOURCES BY HIGHLIGHTING THE SYNERGISTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING INVOLVED IN PLANETARY SCIENCE MISSIONS. WE WILL MEET THIS GOAL THROUGH THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES. 1 MODEL AN INTERDISCIPLINARY PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN PLANETARY SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS OST CURRICULUM DEVELOPERS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PD EXPERTS AND OST NETWORKS MERGING COMBINED EXPERTISE IN A SYNERGISTIC SUSTAINABLE AND PRODUCTIVE RELATIONSHIP. 2 DEVELOP NATIONALLY AVAILABLE CURRICULAR UNITS AND NOVEL ANCILLARY MATERIALS FOR OST CONTEXTS BY INTEGRATING NEW AND EXISTING PLANETARY SCIENCE MISSION DIRECTORATE SMD ASSETS PLANETARY SCIENCE CONTENT AND ENGINEERING PROCESSES AND HABITS OF MIND TO COLLECT EVIDENCE OF THEIR USE WITH STUDENTS PRINCIPALLY THOSE UNDERREPRESENTED IN STEM FIELDS. 3 CREATE PD PRODUCTS DESIGNED FOR SELF DIRECTED LEARNING THAT ENABLE OST EDUCATORS TO EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENT PROGRAM MATERIALS TO COLLECT EVIDENCE OF THEIR USE WITH EDUCATORS. 4 WIDELY DISSEMINATE CURRICULAR AND PD PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO INCREASE ACCESS TO AND USE OF PLANETARY SMD ASSETS WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO REACHING UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS AND KNOWLEDGE REGARDING TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICES IN OST ACTIVITIES GAINED AS A RESULT OF THE PROJECT. THE NASA PLANETARY SCIENCE DIVISION PSD ASKS FIVE FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE QUESTIONS IN PURSUIT OF ITS STRATEGIC GOAL TO ADVANCE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM THE POTENTIAL FOR LIFE ELSEWHERE AND THE HAZARDS AND RESOURCES PRESENT AS HUMANS EXPLORE SPACE. 1 HOW DID THE SUN S FAMILY OF PLANETS AND MINOR BODIES ORIGINATE? 2 HOW DID THE SOLAR SYSTEM EVOLVE TO ITS CURRENT DIVERSE STATE? 3 WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM THAT LED TO THE ORIGIN OF LIFE? 4 HOW DID LIFE BEGIN AND EVOLVE ON EARTH AND HAS IT EVOLVED ELSEWHERE IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM? 5 WHAT ARE THE HAZARDS AND RESOURCES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL AFFECT THE EXTENSION OF HUMAN PRESENCE IN SPACE? THESE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS OCCUR AT THE INTERSECTION OF MANY SCIENCES AND ARE ANSWERED THROUGH THE JUNCTURE OF ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES. EXPERTISE IN THESE DISCIPLINES REQUIRES A STRONG MATHEMATICAL BACKGROUND. THUS THE PSD QUESTIONS LOGICALLY FEED INTO STEM EDUCATION. WE WILL DEVELOP OST CURRICULA BASED ON THESE QUESTIONS ALIGNED WITH NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS AND GROUNDED IN STEM TEACHING AND LEARNING BEST PRACTICES. DRAWING UPON STRENGTHS AND EXPERTISE IN PLANETARY SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND LEARNING DESIGN THE PLANETS COLLABORATION WILL RESULT IN THE CREATION OF MATERIALS THAT MAKE PLANETARY SMD CONTENT INTEGRATED WITH ENGINEERING AVAILABLE TO OST EDUCATORS AND ULTIMATELY LEARNERS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS. AS LEARNERS ENGAGE WITH SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING CHALLENGES THAT HELP THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND THE STEPS PLANETARY SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS TAKE AS THEY SOLVE IMPORTANT PROBLEMS RELATED TO SPACE EXPLORATION THEY LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR INCREASED US STEM LITERACY.

Description

IRON PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN ASTROPHYSICS. HAVING THE ONE OF THE MOST STABLE BINDING ENERGIES OF ANY ELEMENT, IT RANKS 9TH IN OVERALL COSMIC ABUNDANCE, WITH FE/H ~ 3 10-5. IT IS SUFFICIENTLY PREVALENT TO BE ROUTINELY USED AS A MEASURE OF METALLICITY IN STARS FROM ITS OPTICAL TRANSITIONS. IN THE DIFFUSE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM, IRON APPEARS TO BE DEPLETED IN THE GAS-PHASE BY ONE TO TWO ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE, BASED ON ULTRAVIOLET ABSORPTION LINES, SUGGESTING THAT THE ELEMENT IS INCORPORATED INTO DUST GRAINS. THE COMMON OCCURRENCE OF IRON IN METEORITES AND PRE-SOLAR GRAINS BOLSTERS THIS CONCEPT. ON THE OTHER HAND, TYPE IA SUPERNOVAE, AN MAJOR SOURCE OF IRON, SHOW NO EVIDENCE OF DUST GRAINS IN THEIR EJECTA. THIS RESULT SUGGESTS THAT A LARGE PORTION OF IRON REMAINS IN THE GAS PHASE. SOME FRACTION OF THIS GAS-PHASE IRON COULD BE IN MOLECULAR FORM. FEH AND ITS CORRESPONDING ION, FEH+, ARE EXCELLENT MOLECULAR CANDIDATES, GIVEN THE ABUNDANCE OF INTERSTELLAR HYDROGEN. FEH ITSELF HAS ALSO BEEN OBSERVED IN THE ATMOSPHERES OF M-TYPE STARS AND L-TYPE BROWN DWARFS VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSITIONS IN THE NEAR-INFRARED. HOWEVER, PROBABLY THE BEST TECHNIQUE FOR STUDYING FEH AND FEH+ IN THE GENERAL INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM IS VIA THE PURE ROTATIONAL TRANSITIONS OF THESE SPECIES, WHICH, BECAUSE THEY ARE HYDRIDES, ONLY OCCUR AT SUB-MM/THZ/INFRARED WAVELENGTHS, AND ARE OFTEN INACCESSIBLE BY GROUND-BASED TELESCOPES. THEREFORE, FEH AND FEH+ ARE EXTREMELY GOOD TARGETS FOR SUBMM/ THZ NASA MISSIONS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO ASSEMBLE A COMPLETE DATABASE OF DIRECTLY MEASURED, HIGHLY ACCURATE (1 PART IN 107) ROTATIONAL REST FREQUENCIES FOR FEH, ITS DEUTERIUM ISOTOPOLOGUE FED, AND ITS IONIC FORMS FEH+ AND FED+ IN THE FREQUENCY RANGE 0.5 2 THZ. SUCH A DATA SET DOES NOT EXIST FOR EITHER SPECIES, IN PART BECAUSE SPECTROSCOPY OF THESE MOLECULES IS NOT TRIVIAL. FEH HAS A HIGHLY PERTURBED, 4?I GROUND ELECTRONIC STATE, WHICH PRECLUDES PREDICTION OF THE THZ REST FREQUENCIES FROM KNOWN INFRARED CONSTANTS. THERE IS NO SPECTROSCOPIC DATA OF ANY SORT FOR FEH+, AND EVEN ITS GROUND ELECTRONIC STATE IS UNCERTAIN, ALTHOUGH THEORY SUGGESTS IT IS 5?I. THIS PROJECT IS WELL-MATCHED TO THE PI S EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN MEASURING AND ANALYZING THE SPECTRA OF IRON-BEARING MOLECULES WITH EXOTIC GROUND STATES, INCLUDING THOSE WITH PERTURBATIONS (E.G. FEC (X3?I), FEO (X5?I), FEN (X2?I), FECN, (X4?I), FENC (X4?I), FEO+ (X6?+)). FURTHERMORE, THE PI AND HER GROUP ALREADY HAVE PRELIMINARY MEASUREMENTS OF A FEW SUB-MM TRANSITIONS OF FEH AND FED, AND THUS THE SUCCESS OF FUTURE WORK IS HIGHLY PROBABLE. THE TECHNIQUE TO BE EMPLOYED FOR THE MEASUREMENTS IS SUBMM/ THZ DIRECT ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY. THREE WORKING, PROVEN SPECTROMETERS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS WORK, AND THE PI HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED THE UNUSUAL GAS-PHASE SYNTHETIC TECHNIQUES NECESSARY TO CREATE THESE UNSTABLE SPECIES, AND THE SPECTROSCOPIC EXPERTISE TO ANALYZE THEIR OPEN-SHELL ELECTRONIC STATES. IN ADDITION, HIGHLY ACCURATE QUANTUM CHEMICAL CALCULATIONS WILL BE PERFORMED FOR FEH AND FEH+ TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL MOLECULAR PROPERTIES (DIPOLE MOMENTS, LINE STRENGTHS), AS WELL AS ASSIST IN PREDICTING THE GROUND ELECTRONIC STATE OF THE ION. OBSERVATIONS CONDUCTED IN THE PAST WITH HERSCHEL SPACE OBSERVATORY AND CURRENTLY, SOFIA, HAVE CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED THAT SIMPLE HYDRIDE MOLECULES SUCH AS NH, CH+, HF, SH+, HCL+, AND OH+ ARE COMMON CONSTITUENTS OF MANY REGIONS OF THE INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM, EVEN THOSE WITH A RARE ELEMENT SUCH AS F OR CL. MOREOVER, OTHER IRON-CONTAINING MOLECULES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED IN CIRCUMSTELLAR GAS (FECN IN THE OUTER ENVELOPE OF THE LATE-TYPE CARBON STAR IRC+10216) AND POSSIBLY IN DENSE MOLECULAR CLOUDS (FEO IN SGR B2(M)). IT WOULD SEEM FEASIBLE THAT OTHER FE-BEARING SPECIES WOULD BE PRESENT IN INTERSTELLAR GAS. HYDRIDES HAVE LONG BEEN CONSIDERED THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF ASTROCHEMISTRY.

Description

MORE COMPREHENSIVE MAPPING OF EARTH S BIODIVERSITY IS A PRIORITY TO HELP PREVENT FURTHER BIOTIC IMPOVERISHMENT AND MAINTAIN ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONS AND SERVICES. INTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS, AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS HAVE DEVELOPED NUMEROUS APPROACHES TO MAP AND MONITOR BIODIVERSITY PRIORITIES AND TO REPORT ON STATUS AND TRENDS IN BIODIVERSITY. THE GROUP ON EARTH OBSERVATIONS BIODIVERSITY OBSERVATION NETWORK (GEO BON), A FLAGSHIP GEO PROGRAM, HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF EFFORTS TO COORDINATE AND DELIVER THIS BIODIVERSITY INFORMATION TO NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS, RESEARCHERS, AND OTHER GROUPS WITH AN INTEREST IN CONSERVING BIODIVERSITY. THE ESSENTIAL BIODIVERSITY VARIABLE FRAMEWORK (EBV) AND THE BON IN A BOX TOOL ARE TWO OF GEO BON S PRIMARY VEHICLES FOR ORGANIZING AND DELIVERING TECHNICAL INFORMATION TO ITS PARTICIPANTS. IN ADDITION TO GLOBAL EFFORTS, GEO BON FACILITATES NATIONAL AND REGIONAL BONS. COLOMBIA, WITH OVERSIGHT FROM THE COLOMBIAN MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND ASSISTANCE FROM GEO BON, IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING ITS NATIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR BIODIVERSITY OBSERVATIONS. COLOMBIA S INSTITUTO DE INVESTIGACI N DE RECURSOS BIOL GICOS ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT (IAVH), A NON-REGULATORY, GOVERNMENT RESEARCH INSTITUTE, IS PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING THE FRAMEWORK. IAVH IS MAKING PROGRESS ON MULTIPLE FRONTS, INCLUDING DEVELOPMENT OF THE BIOMODELOS APPLICATION WHICH INFORMS THE SPECIES POPULATIONS EBV. HOWEVER, DEVELOPMENT OF A HABITAT STRUCTURE EBV IS STILL NEEDED AND WOULD MAKE A VALUABLE ADDITION TO COLOMBIA S NATIONAL BIODIVERSITY OBSERVATION FRAMEWORK. HABITAT STRUCTURE IS ONE OF SIX EBV CLASSES DEFINED IN THE EBV FRAMEWORK AND HAS BEEN HIGHLIGHTED AS A PRIORITY FOR MAPPING FROM SPACE. ALTHOUGH EARTH OBSERVATIONS HAVE GREATLY INCREASED OUR UNDERSTANDING OF EARTH S ECOSYSTEMS OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DECADES, ESPECIALLY THE HORIZONTAL DISTRIBUTION OF FORESTS AND OTHER MAJOR VEGETATION TYPES, WE STILL LACK PRECISE MEASUREMENTS OF VERTICAL HABITAT STRUCTURE AND ITS DISTRIBUTION FOR LARGE AREAS. LIDAR DATA FROM NASA S GLOBAL ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS INVESTIGATION (GEDI), WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY, WILL SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE HABITAT STRUCTURE INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR LARGE FRACTIONS OF THE EARTH S FORESTS. BECAUSE OF ITS SAMPLING DENSITY (~15 BILLION SAMPLES OVER ITS TWO YEAR LIFESPAN) AND FOOTPRINT SIZE (~25 M DIAMETER), IT WILL DO SO WITH HIGH PRECISION AND AT SCALES COMMENSURATE WITH IN-SITU BIODIVERSITY OBSERVATIONS AND MODERATE RESOLUTION OPTICAL SENSORS SUCH AS LANDSAT AND SENTINEL. THUS, GEDI CAN SERVE AS A FOUNDATION FOR GLOBAL AND NATIONAL LEVEL HABITAT STRUCTURE EBVS. TO BUILD ON COLOMBIA S ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT IN GEO BON AND LEVERAGE NEW HABITAT STRUCTURE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY GEDI, WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A CUTTING EDGE, LIDAR BASED HABITAT STRUCTURE METRIC AS A GEO BON ESSENTIAL BIODIVERSITY VARIABLE (EBV) APPLICATION. OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVES ARE TO: 1) DEVELOP A CONSISTENT AND SCALABLE WORKFLOW THAT USES SPACEBORNE LIDAR MEASUREMENTS TO PROVIDE HIGH PRECISION ESTIMATES OF THE EXTENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF FOREST STRUCTURAL TYPES, ESTABLISHING BASELINES FOR SUBNATIONAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL BIODIVERSITY TARGETS AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. 2) WORK WITH IAVH TO INCORPORATE EBV DATA AND WORKFLOWS INTO COLOMBIA S BIODIVERSITY OBSERVATION FRAMEWORK. THE PROPOSED WORK WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE GEO WORK PLAN BY SUPPORTING THE EFFORTS OF GEO BON TO LEVERAGE EARTH OBSERVATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A FOREST STRUCTURE EBV THAT DESCRIBES AND QUANTIFIES FOREST VERTICAL STRUCTURE ACROSS ECOSYSTEMS.

Description

THIS 4-YEAR PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE SOUTHWEST (SW) US AND AIMS AT IMPROVING THE SPATIAL RESOLUTION, AND TEMPORAL SAMPLING OF TOTAL WATER STORAGE CHANGES (TWSC) OBTAINED FROM GRACE/GRACE-FO. GRACE OBSERVATIONS ARE A POWERFUL TOOL TO MONITOR THE EVOLUTION OF HYDROLOGICAL SYSTEMS AND THEIR RESPONSES TO CLIMATE EXTREMES OR UNSUSTAINABLE WATER CONSUMPTION. HOWEVER, THEIR LOW SPATIAL RESOLUTION LIMITS THEIR APPLICABILITY FOR REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT AND, AT THIS POINT, THERE REMAINS A MAJOR 1-YEAR DATA GAP IN THE TIME SERIES. TO COUNTER THAT, WE PERFORM A FUSION OF THE GRACE-BASED TWSC ESTIMATES WITH THAT OBTAINED FROM A COMBINATION OF ALL AVAILABLE GROUND-BASED OBSERVATIONS AND MODEL-BASED ESTIMATES OF HYDROLOGICAL COMPONENTS. FIRST, WE GENERATE LARGE SCALE MAPS OF VERTICAL LAND MOTION (VLM) AT 250-M RESOLUTION OVER THE SW AS A COMBINATION OF ALL AVAILABLE SAR AND GPS OBSERVATIONS FOR THE PERIOD 2003 - 2023. NEXT, WE USE VLM OBSERVATIONS (EXCLUDING THOSE ABOVE AND NEAR FAST COMPACTING AQUIFERS) AND PERFORM TIME-DEPENDENT ELASTIC LOAD MODELING TO CALCULATE THE TWSC AND ITS VARIANCE-COVARIANCE MATRIX. THIS ESTIMATE LIKELY LAKES MOST OF THE CONTRIBUTION FROM GROUNDWATER STORAGE CHANGE. WE ALSO USE VARIOUS HYDROLOGICAL MODELS AND GROUND-BASED OBSERVATIONS TO CALCULATE THE AGGREGATED VOLUME CHANGE DUE TO VARIATIONS IN SOIL MOISTURE, SURFACE WATER, AND SNOW. THIS EXERCISE WILL YIELD TWO INDEPENDENT ESTIMATES OF TWSC MINUS GROUNDWATER STORAGE CHANGE. NEXT, WE FOCUS ON MAJOR AQUIFERS AND COMBINE VLM AND GROUNDWATER LEVEL DATA TO CALCULATE THE DISTRIBUTION OF STORAGE COEFFICIENTS AND ASSOCIATED ERRORS FOR SW AQUIFER SYSTEMS. IN COMBINATION WITH OBSERVATIONS FROM GROUNDWATER WELLS, WE OBTAIN A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF THE GROUNDWATER VOLUME CHANGE AND UNCERTAINTIES. WE WILL ALSO PERFORM A 1D POROELASTIC MODEL USING VLM OBSERVATIONS TO SOLVE FOR GROUNDWATER VOLUME CHANGE AND STANDARD DEVIATIONS INDEPENDENTLY. THESE TWO GROUNDWATER ESTIMATES ARE NOT ENTIRELY INDEPENDENT HOWEVER, THE DIFFERENT APPROACHES USED WILL LIKELY RESULT IN SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ESTIMATES. COMBINING TWO INDEPENDENT ESTIMATES OF TWSC WITH BOTH ESTIMATES OF GROUNDWATER STORAGE CHANGE WILL RESULT IN FOUR ESTIMATES OF TWSC WITH SPATIALLY AND TEMPORALLY VARIABLE RESOLUTION AND UNCERTAINTIES, WHICH ARE INDEPENDENT OF GRACE MEASUREMENTS. TO FUSE THESE FOUR ESTIMATES WITH THE GRACE-BASED TWSC OBSERVATIONS, WE BORROW FROM THE CONTROL THEORY, ASSUMING TWSC DEPICTS A LINEAR DYNAMIC SYSTEM, WHOSE STATE IS PERTURBED BY RANDOM NOISE AND DATA GAPS. THE GOAL IS TO UPDATE THE DYNAMIC SYSTEM BY USING FOUR OTHER ESTIMATES OF TWSC THAT ACT AS MEASUREMENT LINEARLY RELATED TO THE SYSTEM BUT PERTURBED BY THEIR ASSOCIATED RANDOM NOISES. A DATA GAP PERIOD IN GRACE OBSERVATIONS, IN THE CONTEXT OF CONTROL THEORY, MEANS THAT THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE DYNAMIC SYSTEM IS UNKNOWN WHILE ITS VARIANCE-COVARIANCE IS AVAILABLE. AVAILABILITY OF INDEPENDENT MEASUREMENTS OF THE DYNAMIC SYSTEM STATUS ENABLES ESTIMATING THE MISSING DATA POINTS. TO THIS END, WE WILL USE THE CONCEPT OF LINEAR KALMAN FILTERING, WHICH IS NOT SENSITIVE TO DATA GAPS, VARIABLE SAMPLING RATE, AND UNCERTAINTIES, AND IT CAN BE PERFORMED RECURSIVELY. THE RESULTS FROM THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE ESSENTIAL INSIGHTS INTO THE COMPLEX INTERACTION BETWEEN TERRESTRIAL WATER CYCLE, AQUIFER DYNAMICS, GRAVITY CHANGES, AND SURFACE DEFORMATION. IT WILL ALSO SECURE THE CONTINUITY OF TWSC, IN BETWEEN BOTH GRACE MISSIONS. THE METHOD WILL BE FURTHER BENEFICIAL IN THE CASE OF ADDITIONAL GAPS POTENTIALLY OCCURRING IN THE FUTURE. AN ACCURATE WATER BUDGET CLOSURE AND A SPATIOTEMPORAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ITS COMPONENTS WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE VARIABILITY, CLIMATE EXTREMES, AND HUMAN WATER CONSUMPTION ON WATER RESOURCES. THE DATASETS ARE OF HIGH IMPORTANCE FOR WATER MANAGERS IN ARID REGIONS, LIKE THE SW, WHICH ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO OVERDRAFT OF WATER RESOURCES ON AND BELOW THE SURFACE BY GROWING POPULATION AND ECONOMIES.

Description

IT HAS TAKEN OVER 20 YEARS TO GET THREE-DIMENSIONAL ECOSYSTEM STRUCTURE MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES ESTABLISHED VIA SYSTEMATIC LIDAR MEASUREMENTS FROM SPACE. THE GLOBAL ECOSYSTEMS DYNAMICS INVESTIGATION (GEDI) IS THE CULMINATION OF THAT OBJECTIVE, BUILDING ON TECHNOLOGY ADVANCES ARISING FROM PREVIOUSLY PLANNED SPACE-BASED LIDAR MISSIONS THAT NEVER MADE IT TO ORBIT, I.E. THE VEGETATION CANOPY LIDAR (VCL) AND THE DEFORMATION, ECOSYSTEM STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF ICE (DESDYNI LIDAR). DESDYNI WAS CALLED FOR IN THE 2007 DECADAL SURVEY ON EARTH SCIENCE AND APPLICATIONS FROM SPACE (ESAS) YET NEVER CAME TO FRUITION IN TERMS OF THE ECOSYSTEM STRUCTURE COMPONENT UNTIL GEDI LIDAR, WHICH NOW PROVIDES THAT CAPABILITY. THE INSTRUMENT HAS BEEN OPERATING NEARLY FLAWLESSLY FOR JUST OVER A YEAR NOW (AS OF ITS COMMISSIONING IN LATE MARCH 2019) AND SEVERAL MONTHS OF LEVEL-1B AND -2A,B DATA SETS ARE NOW WIDELY AVAILABLE TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY VIA THE ORNL DAAC, WITH MONTHLY UPDATES. PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR GOETZ HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH GEDI DEVELOPMENT AS A CO-PI OF TWO NASA EARTH VENTURE PROPOSALS, THE SECOND OF WHICH SUPPORTED GEDI LIDAR AS AN INSTRUMENT MISSION, I.E. WITH FUNDING FOR THE INSTRUMENT ITSELF AS WELL AS ALGORITHM AND DATA PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, BUT WITH SCIENCE APPLICATIONS BEING LARGELY EXPLORATORY AND DEMONSTRATIVE. OUR APPLICATION TO THIS NASA RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY IS TO CONTINUE AS PART OF THE GEDI SCIENCE TEAM, FOR WHICH GOETZ HAS ACTED AS DEPUTY PI FOR SCIENCE AND CO-IS BURNS AND JANTZ HAVE BEEN ACTIVE ST MEMBERS. OUR CURRENT SUPPORT FOR THE GEDI ST WILL EXPIRE ON OR BEFORE 24 SEPTEMBER 2021 THUS IF WE ARE SELECTED TO CONTINUE, OUR SUPPORT WOULD OVERLAP FOR A MAXIMUM PERIOD OF LESS THAN 8 MONTHS. OUR ROLES THUS FAR HAVE INCLUDED, BUT NOT BEEN LIMITED TO, ASSESSING THE POTENTIAL OF GEDI FOR BIODIVERSITY HABITAT CHARACTERIZATION USING SIMULATED GEDI DATA. NOW THAT WE HAVE ACTUAL GEDI DATA OVER A VAST GEOGRAPHICAL AREA WE PROPOSE TO RAPIDLY ADVANCE THE APPLICATION OF GEDI CANOPY STRUCTURE MEASUREMENTS FOR 3D HABITAT CHARACTERIZATION AND ASSESS RELATIONSHIPS WITH IN SITU OBSERVATIONS OF BOTH PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES RICHNESS, AS WELL AS MAPPING ANIMAL HABITAT UTILIZATION AND SUITABLE HABITAT DISTRIBUTIONS (I.E. CURRENT AND POTENTIAL RANGE EXTENTS). WE WILL LEVERAGE OUR EXPERIENCE WITH LIDAR CHARACTERIZATION OF FOREST STRUCTURE AND LIDAR SYNERGY WITH IMAGING REMOTE SENSING DATA (BOTH OPTICAL AND SAR), AS WELL AS RICH BIODIVERSITY DATA SETS FROM A RANGE OF SOURCES INCLUDING THE GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY INFORMATION FACILITY (GBIF), A NETWORK OF CAMERA TRAP DATA OF ANIMAL SPECIES OCCURRENCES COMPILED BY CO-IS KASZTA AND CUSHMAN, AND OTHER PUBLIC SOURCES OF BIODIVERSITY OBSERVATIONS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY PART OF GBIF. THESE ASSESSMENTS AND DERIVED MAPS WILL LEAD TO SUBSTANTIALLY REFINED SPECIES RANGE MAPS THAT HAVE PRACTICAL VALUE FOR INFORMING CONSERVATION EFFORTS, INCLUDING E.G. REFINING SPECIES ENDANGERMENT ESTIMATES AND IDENTIFYING SUITABLE HABITAT CORRIDORS TO CONNECT CORE HABITAT AREAS.

Description

TO INCREASE THE SCIENTIFIC RETURN OF SAMPLE RETURN MISSIONS, WE AIM TO MAXIMIZE THE INFORMATION GAINED FROM INDIVIDUAL MINERALS. ONE MINERAL SYSTEM THAT RECORDS A RANGE OF PRE- AND POST-ACCRETIONARY HISTORIES ARE THE FE-SULFIDES. THEY OCCUR IN A WIDE RANGE OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL MATERIALS AND ARE ATTRIBUTED TO FORMING THROUGH A RANGE OF PROCESSES IN THE EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM. SUCH PROCESSES INCLUDE CONDENSATION, CRYSTALLIZATION/EXSOLUTION, GAS-SOLID/LIQUID REACTION, THERMAL METAMORPHISM, AND AQUEOUS-PHASE PROCESSING. PREVIOUS WORK ON HAYABUSA SAMPLES (ASTEROID 25143 ITOKAWA) IMPLIES THEIR SULFIDES FORMED BY THERMAL METAMORPHISM (BEING LL5-6 MATERIAL). THE COMPOSITIONS, MORPHOLOGIES, AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURES OF SULFIDES ARE DETERMINED BY THEIR FORMATION CONDITIONS INCLUDING TEMPERATURE, TIME, OXYGEN AND SULFUR FUGACITY, AND AQUEOUS AND THERMAL HISTORY. WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE STRUCTURES, COMPOSITIONS, AND CONTEXT OF SULFIDE MINERALS IN SAMPLES RETURNED BY HAYABUSA AND COMPARE THESE WITH SULFIDES IN CHONDRITIC METEORITES. WE WILL CONSTRAIN PARENT BODY FORMATION CONDITIONS OF ASTEROID ITOKAWA BY STUDYING ANALOGOUS SULFIDES WITH PETROGRAPHIC CONTEXT IN CHONDRITIC METEORITES. WE WILL ALSO DEVELOP A SULFIDE DATABASE TO INTERPRET CONDITIONS OF FORMATION FOR SULFIDES THAT WILL LIKELY BE FOUND IN SAMPLES RETURNED BY HAYABUSA2 AND OSIRIS-REX. WE WILL IDENTIFY CANDIDATE SULFIDE GRAINS IN CHONDRITIC METEORITES VIA SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (SEM) AND ELECTRON PROBE MICROANALYSIS (EPMA), DETERMINE GRAIN ORIENTATION VIA ELECTRON BACKSCATTER DIFFRACTION (EBSD), AND EXTRACT REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLES VIA FOCUSED-ION-BEAM (FIB) TECHNIQUES. WE WILL STUDY THE COMPOSITION, TEXTURE, AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF INDIVIDUAL FIB SECTIONS OF THE SULFIDES VIA TRANSMISSION-ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (TEM) TO INVESTIGATE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN FORMATION MECHANISM, OXYGEN AND SULFUR FUGACITY, TEMPERATURE, AND COOLING RATE. WE WILL CONDUCT THE SAME MEASUREMENTS ON ALLOCATED SULFIDE-BEARING HAYABUSA SAMPLES. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED SULFIDES (PYRRHOTITE ((FE,NI,CO,CR)1-XS) AND PENTLANDITE ((FE,NI,CO,CR)9-XS8)) IN LL, CI, CM, AND CR CHONDRITES THAT RECORD EQUILIBRATION TEMPERATURES FROM 100 TO 600DEGREES C. STUDYING SULFIDES IN METEORITES THAT RETAIN THEIR PETROGRAPHIC CONTEXT ALLOWS COMPARISONS BETWEEN ESTABLISHED GEOTHERMOMETERS AND THERMODYNAMIC VARIABLES. SINCE PYRRHOTITE-PENTLANDITE INTERGROWTHS ARE UNCOMMON IN SOME METEORITE GROUPS, SULFIDES IN SMALL RETURNED SAMPLES MAY ONLY CONSIST OF PYRRHOTITE OR PENTLANDITE. THEREFORE, TO UNDERSTAND SULFIDE FORMATION IN ASTEROIDS IT IS IMPORTANT TO STUDY SULFIDES IN METEORITES WITH WELL-KNOWN FORMATION CONDITIONS TO INVESTIGATE INDICATORS OF FORMATION IN BOTH PYRRHOTITE AND PENTLANDITE. PETROGRAPHIC, CHEMICAL, AND THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSES ON SULFIDES IN METEORITES VIA SEM, EPMA, EBSD, AND FIB-TEM WILL PROVIDE A DIVERSE SAMPLE SET OF SULFIDES FOR COMPOSITIONAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL INVESTIGATIONS TO COMPARE WITH RETURNED SAMPLES. THE MOTIVATION FOR THIS RESEARCH IS TO IDENTIFY MICROSTRUCTURAL INDICATORS OF SULFIDE FORMATION CONDITIONS SO THAT PRE- AND/OR POST-ACCRETIONARY FORMATION CONDITIONS CAN BE DETERMINED FOR SAMPLES THAT CONTAIN SULFIDES BUT LACK PETROGRAPHIC CONTEXT, AS MAY BE THE CASE FOR RETURNED SAMPLES. THIS RESEARCH IS RELEVANT TO THE SCOPE OF THE LABORATORY ANALYSIS OF RETURNED SAMPLES (LARS) PROGRAM, BECAUSE IT AIMS TO 'MAXIMIZE THE SCIENCE DERIVED FROM PLANETARY SAMPLE-RETURN MISSIONS'. LARS IS MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THIS RESEARCH SINCE IT IS RELEVANT TO THE SCOPE OF LARS IN C.18: 'DIRECT ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES ALREADY RETURNED TO EARTH'. THE ANALYSES OF METEORITES ARE APPROPRIATE BECAUSE THEY WILL DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE INTERPRETATION OF RETURNED SAMPLES (SPECIFIED IN 1.3.3, C.18). WE WILL ANALYZE HAYABUSA SAMPLES ALREADY ALLOCATED AND DEVELOP A TIMELY DATABASE OF CHONDRITIC SULFIDES TO ASSIST IN THE INTERPRETATION OF SULFIDES IN RETURNED-SAMPLES OF ASTEROID RYUGU BY HAYABUSA2 IN 2020.

MOTIVATION: THE LATEST IPCC REPORT AND RECENT DECADAL SURVEY STATE THAT THE LARGEST UNCERTAINTY IN ESTIMATING GLOBAL ANTHROPOGENIC RADIATIVE FORCING IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTERACTIONS OF AEROSOL PARTICLES WITH CLOUDS. THIS LARGE UNCERTAINTY STEMS FROM THE VARIABILITY OF CLOUD SYSTEMS AND THE MULTIPLE FEEDBACKS THAT AFFECT AND HAMPER SCIENTISTS EFFORTS TO ASCRIBE CHANGES IN CLOUD PROPERTIES TO AEROSOL PERTURBATIONS. WHILE PAST CAMPAIGNS MADE DISCOVERIES THAT RAISED NEW QUESTIONS, OUR PROPOSED AEROSOL CLOUD METEOROLOGY INTERACTIONS OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC EXPERIMENT (ACTIVATE) PROJECT AIMS TO COLLECT SUFFICIENT STATISTICS TO PROVIDE THE ANSWERS. OBJECTIVES: BECAUSE MARINE BOUNDARY LAYER CLOUDS PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN THE PLANET S ENERGY BALANCE, ACTIVATE FOCUSES ON THESE CLOUDS THAT SPAN THE CONTINUUM FROM STRATIFORM TO CUMULUS. OUR FIVE-YEAR PROJECT (1/2019-12/2023) WILL ADDRESS THREE SCIENCE OBJECTIVES (AND BASELINE AND THRESHOLD SCIENCE OBJECTIVES ARE IDENTICAL): A) QUANTIFY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN AEROSOL NUMBER CONCENTRATION (NA), CLOUD CONDENSATION NUCLEI (CCN) CONCENTRATION, AND CLOUD DROP NUMBER CONCENTRATION (ND), AND REDUCE UNCERTAINTY IN MODEL PARAMETERIZATIONS OF CLOUD DROPLET ACTIVATION B) IMPROVE PROCESS-LEVEL UNDERSTANDING AND MODEL REPRESENTATION OF FACTORS THAT GOVERN CLOUD MICRO/MACRO-PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND HOW THEY COUPLE WITH CLOUD EFFECTS ON AEROSOL AND C) ASSESS ADVANCED REMOTE SENSING CAPABILITIES FOR RETRIEVING AEROSOL AND CLOUD PROPERTIES RELATED TO AEROSOL-CLOUD INTERACTIONS. DELIVERABLES: 1) IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING AND MODEL REPRESENTATIONS OF NA-CCN-ND RELATIONSHIPS AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MICRO/ MACRO-PHYSICAL PROPERTIES 2) A UNIQUE DATASET FOR INTERNATIONAL MODEL INTERCOMPARISON AND PROCESS-BASED STUDIES 3) AN EVALUATION OF CURRENT REMOTE SENSING RETRIEVALS AND PROTOTYPES FOR FUTURE SATELLITE MISSIONS AND 4) THE DEVELOPMENT OF IMPROVED SATELLITE-BASED ND RETRIEVALS AND CCN PROXIES. NASA RELEVANCE: ACTIVATE ADDRESSES FOUR NASA EARTH SCIENCE FOCUS AREAS: ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION , WATER & ENERGY CYCLE , CLIMATE VARIABILITY & CHANGE , AND WEATHER . OUR MEASUREMENTS COMPLEMENT, AUGMENT, AND VALIDATE AEROSOL AND CLOUD RETRIEVALS FROM EXISTING AND PLANNED SATELLITE MISSIONS. WE WILL ALSO ASSESS EXISTING AND DEMONSTRATE NEW LIDAR AND POLARIMETER REMOTE SENSING RETRIEVALS OF AEROSOLS AND CLOUDS, WHICH ARE DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO THE DECADAL SURVEY RECOMMENDATION FOR A DESIGNATED MISSION TO STUDY AEROSOLS AND CLOUDS. MISSION OVERVIEW AND PLATFORMS: ACTIVATE TARGETS THE WESTERN NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN WITH A BROAD RANGE OF AEROSOL AND METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS THAT CAN BE READILY SAMPLED BY THE TWO COMPLEMENTARY AIRCRAFT BASED AT THE NEARBY NASA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER: THE NASA HU-25 FALCON AND B-200 KING AIR. THE HU-25 ACQUIRES IN SITU MEASUREMENTS BELOW, IN, AND ABOVE CLOUDS. THE B-200 FLIES ABOVE CLOUDS TO REMOTELY MEASURE AEROSOLS AND CLOUDS AND TO DEPLOY DROPSONDES TO MEASURE THE ATMOSPHERIC STATE. INSTRUMENTS AND MODELS: ALL INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED FOR ACTIVATE SCIENCE OBJECTIVES ARE MATURE (TRL 9) THESE ADVANCED, ACTIVE AND PASSIVE REMOTE SENSING AND IN SITU INSTRUMENTS PROVIDE A LOW-RISK, HIGH-IMPACT APPROACH FOR BOTH OBTAINING CRITICAL ATMOSPHERIC MEASUREMENTS TO RELATE AEROSOLS, CLOUDS, AND METEOROLOGY, AND IMPROVING MODELS. ACTIVATE INCLUDES A SUITE OF MULTI-SCALE MODELS AND A DIVERSE SCIENCE ANALYSIS AND MODELING TEAM WITH BROAD EXPERTISE IN INTEGRATING AIRBORNE AND SATELLITE DATA TO ADVANCE OUR KNOWLEDGE OF AEROSOL-CLOUD-METEOROLOGY INTERACTIONS AND TO IMPROVE THEIR TREATMENTS IN WEATHER AND CLIMATE MODELS. BASELINE AND THRESHOLD MISSION: THE BASELINE MISSION INCLUDES ~50 JOINT AIRPLANE MISSIONS PER YEAR IN YEARS 2-4 (~600 HOURS AND ~150 FLIGHTS OVER THREE YEARS FOR EACH AIRPLANE). THE THRESHOLD MISSION REDUCES THE NUMBER OF JOINT FLIGHTS TO ~120.

NASA S KEPLER MISSION HAS REVEALED THAT WORLDS WITH SIZES BETWEEN THOSE OF EARTH AND NEPTUNE ARE EXTREMELY COMMON. WHETHER THESE PLANETS ARE ROCKY WITH SECONDARY ATMOSPHERES INFLUENCED BY GEOPHYSICAL PROCESSES (I.E., SUPER-EARTHS) OR HAVE THICK ATMOSPHERES OF HEAVILY METAL-ENRICHED SOLAR GAS (I.E., MINI-NEPTUNES) REMAINS AN OPEN QUESTION. IN REALITY, THESE UBIQUITOUS PLANETS LIKELY PRESENT A HUGE RANGE OF ATMOSPHERIC TYPES AND (IF APPLICABLE) SURFACE CONDITIONS. HOWEVER, THERE DOES NOT EXIST A SYSTEMATIC EXPLORATION OF THE RANGE OF ATMOSPHERIC AND SURFACE CONDITIONS FOR PLANETS SPANNING THE TERRESTRIAL TO GASEOUS REGIMES. WITHOUT SUCH AN EXPLORATION, WE REMAIN IN THE DARK AS TO WHAT THE SPECTRAL DISCRIMINANTS ARE FOR DISTINGUISHING THESE DIFFERENT TYPES OF WORLDS, BE IT THROUGH TRANSIT, EMISSION, OR REFLECTION SPECTROSCOPY. THUS, WE DO NOT YET KNOW THE EXTENT TO WHICH FUTURE EXOPLANET-THEMED MISSIONS WILL BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH AND CHARACTERIZE SUPER-EARTHS AND MINI-NEPTUNES. WE PROPOSE TO USE A TRUSTED EXOPLANET CLIMATE MODEL TO EXPLORE A WIDE RANGE OF PLANET TYPES AND ASSOCIATED ATMOSPHERIC STATES. FROM OUR GRID OF FORWARD-MODELED EXOPLANET CLIMATES, WE WILL PRODUCE (AND DISTRIBUTE) A LARGE COLLECTION OF TRANSIT, EMISSION, AND REFLECTION SPECTRA. FINALLY, BY EMPLOYING OUR GROUP'S STATE-OF-THE-ART RETRIEVAL TOOLS, WE WILL EXPLORE KEY SPECTRAL DISCRIMINANTS AND OBSERVABLES FOR SUPER-EARTH AND MINI-NEPTUNE EXOPLANETS. THESE RETRIEVAL STUDIES WILL IDENTIFY IDEAL OBSERVING STRATEGIES FOR NASA S JWST, AND WILL INVESTIGATE THE EXTENT TO WHICH DIRECT IMAGING CAN BE USED TO SPECTRALLY CHARACTERIZE SMALL WORLDS. OUR DIRECT IMAGING STUDIES COME AT A CRITICAL TIME, AS, WITHOUT OUR WORK, HABEX, LUVOIR, AND WFIRST-RENDEZVOUS WOULD ALL BE COMPETED IN THE 2020 DECADAL SURVEY WITH NO CLEAR STUDIES OF HOW EFFECTIVE THESE MISSIONS COULD BE AT CHARACTERIZING THE ATMOSPHERES OF SOME OF THE MOST COMMON PLANET TYPES IN THE GALAXY. OUR PROPOSED WORK IS RELEVANT TO BOTH NASA S STRATEGIC PLAN AND TO THE EXOPLANET RESEARCH PROGRAM. WE AIM TO SHED LIGHT ON NEW AND EXCITING CATEGORIES OF PLANETS THAT SPAN A RANGE OF ATMOSPHERIC AND (POTENTIALLY) SURFACE CONDITIONS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF LIFE. ADDITIONALLY, LEARNING TO DISTINGUISH MINI-NEPTUNES FROM SUPER-EARTHS IS A KEY STEP TOWARDS DEVELOPING TECHNIQUES TO IDENTIFY POTENTIALLY HABITABLE EXOPLANETS. THESE THEMES WORK TO MEET NASA S STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE 1.6 ( DISCOVER HOW THE UNIVERSE WORKS, EXPLORE HOW IT BEGAN AND EVOLVED, AND SEARCH FOR LIFE ON PLANETS AROUND OTHER STARS ). OUR PROPOSED WORK ALSO SUPPORTS THE EXOPLANET RESEARCH PROGRAM S GOAL OF UNDERSTANDING EXOPLANETARY SYSTEMS, AND MEETS THE PROGRAM S EXPECTATIONS OF RESEARCH THAT (1) HELPS TO EXOPLANET CANDIDATES THAT WOULD BE VALUABLE TARGETS FOR FUTURE NASA OBSERVATORIES, (2) DEVELOPS IDEAS RELATED TO THE OBSERVATIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF EXOPLANETS AND THEIR ATMOSPHERES WITH TIES TO PLANNED AND FUTURE NASA OBSERVATORIES, AND (3) AIMS TO UNDERSTAND KEY PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES RELATED TO EXOPLANET ATMOSPHERES.

Description

MOTIVATION TO DETECT PROTOPLANETS: THOUSANDS OF GAS-RICH EXOPLANETS ARE KNOWN TODAY. YET, UNTIL RECENTLY, NONE OF THESE WERE YOUNG FORMING/ACCRETING "PROTOPLANETS". MULTI WAVELENGTH OBSERVATIONS (AO AND JWST) OF SUCH PROTOPLANETS ARE THE BEST APPROACH TO UNRAVELING THE MYSTERY OF PLANET FORMATION. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND OF THE MAGAO INSTRUMENT: THE PI AND HIS TEAM HAVE BUILT AND COMMISSIONED AN ADVANCED ADAPTIVE OPTICS (AO) SYSTEM AT THE 6.5-M MAGELLAN CLAY TELESCOPE AT LAS CAMPANAS OBSERVATORY, CHILE. THIS SYSTEM IS CALLED MAGAO (PI LAIRD CLOSE) AND IT USES AN ADAPTIVE SECONDARY MIRROR (ASM) WITH 585 ACTUATORS TO APPLY THE CORRECTION MEASURED BY ITS HIGHORDER PYRAMID WAVEFRONT SENSOR (PWFS) 1000 TIMES EACH SECOND. BECAUSE WE CAN CORRECT AT WAVELENGTHS AS SHORT AS H-ALPHA (656.3 NM), THE MAGAO SYSTEM REGULARLY PRODUCES THE HIGHEST-SPATIAL-RESOLUTION DEEP IMAGES TO DATE. MAGAO HAS BEEN ON-SKY OVER 160 NIGHTS NOW AND HAS BEEN IN REGULAR SCIENCE OPERATIONS AT MAGELLAN FOR 3 YEARS. MAGAO IS THE ONLY TELESCOPIC SYSTEM (ON THE GROUND OR SPACE) THAT HAS PUBLISHED HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION &LT;0.03 ARCSEC (&LT;30 MAS) IMAGES AT THE STRONGEST HYDROGEN GAS ACCRETION EMISSION LINE: H-ALPHA (CLOSE ET AL. 2013). JUST RECENTLY (FEB 2017) THE TEAM COMMISSIONED THEIR "SDI+" OPTICAL DEVICE THAT ENABLES VERY HIGHCONTRAST, HIGH-SPATIAL RESOLUTION IMAGES (PLANET/STAR10^-3 AT 80 MAS 10^-4 AT 100 MAS) AT H-ALPHA. WITH THE (NOW OUTDATED) SDI DEVICE THIS TEAM MADE THE FIRST DEFINITE DETECTION OF ACCRETING PROTOPLANETS AT H-ALPHA IN THE GAP OF THE LKCA 15 TRANSITIONAL DISK (SALLUM, FOLLETTE ET AL. NOV 19, 2015 ISSUE OF NATURE). THEIR NEWLY UPGRADED SDI+ OPTICS ENABLES A 300% IMPROVEMENT IN CONTRAST OVER SDI. METHODS/TECHNIQUES: TRANSITIONAL DISKS ARE DISKS AROUND YOUNG STARS THAT HAVE DUST-POOR GAPS. A COMMON HYPOTHESIS IS THAT MULTIPLE (2-3) MASSIVE ACCRETING PLANETS NEAR THE INNER AND OUTER EDGES OF THE WIDE GAP ARE NEEDED TO KEEP IT DUST POOR (DODSON- ROBINSON & SALYK 2011). THE PI AND HIS TEAM WILL UTILIZE MAGAO S ABSOLUTELY UNIQUE ABILITY TO TAKE H-ALPHA (656NM), AND CONTINUUM (642NM) IMAGES SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH SDI+ TO COMPLETE, AND ENHANCE, A SURVEY, CALLED GAPPLANETS+, FOR PROTOPLANETS. SURVEY#1 (GAPPLANETS+): THE 25 NEAREST (~150 PC), YOUNGEST (~1-3 MYR), BRIGHTEST (R&LT;12 MAG) LARGE GAP (&GT;130MAS) TRANSITIONAL DISKS FOR THE MOST SENSITIVE SURVEY OF PROTOPLANETS IN TRANSITIONAL DISKS. SURVEY#2 (XRPROTOPLANETS+): 17 VERY CLOSE (~50-100PC), BRIGHT (I&LT;10 MAG), YOUNG (3-10 MYR) TTAURI STARS AROUND NON-TRANSITIONAL DISKS. SCIENCE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROPOSED SURVEYS: 1. DISCOVER LOW MASS (0.5-13 MJUP), YOUNG, ACCRETING EXTRASOLAR PROTOPLANETS, 2. DETERMINE IF CORE-ACCRETION FORMATION THEORY IS CORRECT AND YOUNG PLANETS DO PASS THROUGH A PHASE OF RAPID GAS ACCRETION AND BRIGHT H-ALPHA FLUX (AS ALREADY OBSERVED IN LKCA 15B), 3. CHARACTERIZE THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION, H-ALPHA LUMINOSITY, ACCRETION RATES, FREQUENCY, AND AGES OF PROTOPLANETS AT 4-10 AU AND WIDER ORBITS, 4. DETERMINE THE INFLUENCE OF PLANETS ON TRANSITIONAL DISK GAPS, 5. DETERMINE IF OLDER (~3-10 MYR) NON-TRANSITIONAL DISKS ALSO HAVE DETECTABLE ACCRETING PLANETS. 6. RAPIDLY PUBLISH A PUBLIC CATALOG OF AT LEAST ~11-18 PROTOPLANET/CIRCUMPLANETARY DISK CANDIDATES AS HIGH-QUALITY TARGETS FOR JWST THERMAL FOLLOW-UP. HENCE THIS PROPOSAL IS VERY RELEVANT TO THE XRP/NASA SCIENCE PLAN AND GOALS. PROOF-OF-CONCEPT: THE LKCA 15B PLANET CAPTURED ~50% OF THE STAR S ACCRETION FLOW, AND WAS ~1,000X BRIGHTER AT H-ALPHA THAN THE PREDICTED PHOTOSPHERIC H BAND FLUX FROM THE MOST OPTIMISTIC PLANET FORMATION MODELS. INDEED THE PLANET WAS NOT DETECTED AT H BAND --BUT WAS EASILY DETECTED AT H-ALPHA 120X FAINTER THAN THE STAR (AT JUST 93 MAS 15 AU SEPARATION). HENCE IT IS CLEAR THAT SEARCHING FOR ACCRETING PLANETS AT H-ALPHA INSIDE THE GAPS OF TRANSITIONAL DISKS IS A VERY GOOD STRATEGY FOR DETECTING PROTOPLANETS, AS THE CASE OF LKCA 15B PROVED.

Description

IMPACT PROCESSES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND THE RESULTING SHOCK EFFECTS IN METEORITES PROVIDE A RECORD OF IMPACTS AND SOLAR SYSTEM DYNAMICS (SCOTT 2002 CONSOLMAGNO AND BRITT 2004). HOWEVER, MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT SHOCK METAMORPHISM IN ORDINARY CHONDRITES AND MARTIAN METEORITES REPRESENTS RELATIVELY LATE SOLAR SYSTEM IMPACT EVENTS (SWINDLE ET AL. 2014 MOSER ET AL. 2013). OUR KNOWLEDGE OF HIGHLY SHOCKED METEORITES IS STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY THE LARGE QUANTITY OF SHOCKED L CHONDRITES, WHICH WERE PREDOMINANTLY SHOCKED IN A LARGE IMPACT EVENT AT 470 MA (TURNER 1969 BOGARD ET AL. 1976 KOROCHANTSEVA ET AL. 2007 HECK ET AL. 2008 WEIRICH ET AL. 2012). AS A RESULT, WE KNOW RELATIVELY LITTLE ABOUT SHOCK EFFECTS FROM SOLAR SYSTEM IMPACT EVENTS OLDER THAN 4150 MA. 40AR/39AR AGES OF IMPACTS IN ORDINARY CHONDRITES (TURNER 1969 BOGARD ET AL. 1976 TURNER 1978 BOGARD 1995 KOROCHANTSEVA ET AL. 2007 SWINDLE ET AL. 2009 SWINDLE ET AL. 2014) DEMONSTRATE THAT MANY CHONDRITES HAVE EXPERIENCED IMPACT EVENTS &GT; 4150 MA. THE GOAL OF THE PROPOSED STUDY IS TO INVESTIGATE SHOCK EFFECTS, SHOCK CONDITIONS, ANNEALING AND IMPACT AGES IN THE EARLIEST SHOCKS RECORDED IN ORDINARY CHONDRITES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND IMPACT PROCESSES IN THE FIRST 400 MA OF SOLAR SYSTEM HISTORY. SHOCK EFFECTS IN METEORITES ARE WELL PRESERVED IN RAPIDLY QUENCHED SAMPLES, BUT THEY CAN BE PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY ANNEALED AFTER SHOCK OR DURING THERMAL METAMORPHISM. DEFORMATION AND TRANSFORMATIONAL MICROSTRUCTURES THAT SURVIVE CAN BE USED TO INVESTIGATE BOTH SHOCK AND POST-SHOCK PROCESSES. 40AR/39AR AGES PROVIDE A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF IMPACT EVENTS IN METEORITES IN ADDITION TO CONSTRAINTS ON TIME-TEMPERATURE HISTORIES (SWINDLE ET AL. 2014). WE PROPOSE TO PERFORM DETAILED MINERALOGICAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF CHONDRITES SHOCKED IN THE OLDEST POST-ACCRETION IMPACT PROCESSES. WE WILL USE POLARIZED-LIGHT MICROSCOPY TO CLASSIFY THE SHOCK STAGE AND MAP OUT LOCAL SHOCK MELTING AND TRANSFORMATION IN SAMPLES THAT HAVE 40AR/39AR AGES &GT; 4150 MA. WE WILL USE RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY AND SYNCHROTRON X-RAY DIFFRACTION TO IDENTIFY HIGH-PRESSURE MINERALS FORMED BY SHOCK. WE WILL USE BACKSCATTERED ELECTRON IMAGING AND ENERGY DISPERSIVE ANALYSIS WITH OUR FIELD-EMISSION SEMS TO CHARACTERIZE NANO-SCALE DEFORMATION, MELTING AND REACTION MICROSTRUCTURES. WE WILL USE THE FOCUSED-ION-BEAM LIFT-OUT TECHNIQUE TO PREPARE SAMPLES FOR ANALYTICAL TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (TEM). TEM WILL BE USED TO IDENTIFY AND CHARACTERIZE NANO-MINERALOGY, NANOMETER-SCALE REACTION STRUCTURES, DEFORMATION MICROSTRUCTURES AND ANNEALING EFFECTS. FINALLY, WE WILL USE 40AR/39AR DATING TO REFINE THE AGES OF SOME OF THE OLDEST SHOCKED SAMPLES TO BETTER EVALUATE THE TIMING OF EARLY IMPACT PROCESSES. THESE DATA, COMBINED WITH PUBLISHED 40AR/39AR AGE DATA, WILL BE USED TO PROVIDE A DETAILED RECORD OF SHOCK EFFECTS, SHOCK CONDITIONS AND POST-SHOCK ANNEALING IN THE OLDEST SHOCKED MATERIALS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM. THIS DATA WILL PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE ROLE OF IMPACTS AND SHOCK IN THE METAMORPHISM OF ASTEROIDS IN THE EARLY HISTORY OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.

Description

AN ON-GOING DROUGHT IN THE COLORADO RIVER BASIN (CRB) HAS REDUCED LEVELS IN LAKE MEAD TO THE EXTENT OF POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING A WATER SHORTAGE. IN THIS CONTEXT, A SHORTAGE REFERS TO REDUCTIONS IN ANNUAL WATER ALLOCATIONS THAT WOULD IMPACT AGRICULTURAL, MUNICIPAL AND INDUSTRIAL SECTORS. THE EXTENT TO WHICH CRB CONSTITUENTS CAN AVOID A DROUGHT SHORTAGE DEPENDS ON MANAGEMENT DECISIONS MADE IN LIGHT OF LONG-RANGE WATER SUPPLY PROJECTIONS. IN ARIZONA, THE CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT (CAP) IS THE WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT IN CHARGE OF AN INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM THAT DELIVERS COLORADO RIVER WATER TO MULTIPLE USERS IN THE STATE. CURRENTLY, WATER SUPPLY DECISION MAKING AT CAP RELIES ON A 24-MONTH FORECAST FROM THE U.S. BUREAU OF RECLAMATION ISSUED ON A MONTHLY BASIS. AS A RESULT, CAP HAS NOT YET DEVELOPED AN IN-HOUSE CAPACITY FOR LONG-RANGE (2 TO 25 YEAR) HYDROLOGIC PROJECTIONS THAT CAN SERVE AS INPUT TO SCENARIO PLANNING AND DECISION-MAKING ACTIVITIES. EVALUATING ALTERNATIVE WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES RELIES ON THE CAPACITY TO TRANSLATE CHANGES IN FUTURE CLIMATE AND LAND COVER CONDITIONS INTO WATER SUPPLY PROJECTIONS AT KEY LOCATIONS ALONG THE COLORADO RIVER. IN THIS PROPOSAL, ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY AND THE COLORADO RIVER PROGRAMS DIVISION AT CAP HAVE PARTNERED TO TRANSITION AN OPERATIONAL HYDROLOGIC MODEL TO ASSESS THE CLIMATE AND LAND USE CHANGE RISKS TO LONG-RANGE WATER SUPPLY SECURITY IN THE CRB.

Description

WE PROPOSE TO STUDY THE INFLUENCE OF DEBRIS RELEASED BY GIANT IMPACTS ON THE LATE FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE INNER SOLAR SYSTEM, USING DYNAMICAL METHODS AND RESULTS OF IMPACT SIMULATIONS. ALTHOUGH THE ASTEROID BELT IS THE MAIN SOURCE OF IMPACTORS IN THE INNER SOLAR SYSTEM TODAY, IT CONTAINS ONLY 0.05 LUNAR MASSES OF MATERIAL. WHILE THE ASTEROID BELT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE MASSIVE WHEN IT FORMED, IT IS UNLIKELY TO HAVE HAD GREATER THAN A LUNAR MASS SINCE THE FORMATION OF JUPITER AND THE DISSIPATION OF THE SOLAR NEBULA. BY COMPARISON, GIANT IMPACTS ONTO THE TERRESTRIAL PLANETS DURING THE LATE STAGE OF ACCRETION TYPICALLY RELEASED DEBRIS EQUAL TO SEVERAL PER CENT OF THE PLANET'S MASS INTO HELIOCENTRIC ORBIT. THE MOON-FORMING IMPACT ON EARTH, FOR EXAMPLE, RELEASED OVER A LUNAR MASS OF DEBRIS, MORE THAN HAS EVER BEEN CONTAINED IN THE ASTEROID BELT. THE BOREALIS BASIN IMPACT ON MARS RELEASED MORE DEBRIS AT ONCE, THAN THE PRESENT DAY ASTEROID BELT. ESCAPING IMPACT DEBRIS IS LESS LONG LIVED THAN THE MAIN ASTEROID BELT, AS IT IS INJECTED ON UNSTABLE, PLANET-CROSSING ORBITS. THIS SAME FACTOR HOWEVER ALSO INCREASES THE IMPACT PROBABILITY WITH THE TERRESTRIAL PLANETS AND ASTEROIDS. WITH SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF MASS IT SEEMS HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THESE NOW-EXTINCT POPULATIONS OF IMPACTORS SHOULD HAVE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE EVOLUTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, MUCH AS NOW-EXTINCT RADIONUCLIDES PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE THERMAL HISTORIES OF SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES. ONE OF THE MOST OBVIOUS EFFECTS OF RE-IMPACTING DEBRIS IS THE PRODUCTION OF CRATERS. THE MOON, MARS, MERCURY AND THE LARGEST ASTEROIDS MAY BE EXPECTED TO DISPLAY EVIDENCE OF RE-IMPACTING BOMBARDMENTS IN THEIR CRATER RECORD, SUBJECT TO THEIR THERMAL STATE AND SUBSEQUENT SURFACE RE-PROCESSING. HOWEVER, IN UNDERSTANDING THE CRATERING HISTORY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, THE CONTRIBUTION OF GIANT IMPACT DEBRIS HAS BEEN ALMOST UNIVERSALLY NEGLECTED, AND CONSTRAINING THIS CONTRIBUTION CONSTITUTES OUR PRIMARY TASK. IN ADDITION TO THE PRODUCTION OF SURFACE CRATERS, LARGE IMPACTS CAN PUNCH THROUGH THE LITHOSPHERE AND EXHUME MATERIAL FROM LARGE DEPTHS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY PERTINENT FOR RE-IMPACTS ONTO A PROGENITOR BODY WHICH WILL HAVE A DEEP MAGMA OCEAN AFTER THE GIANT IMPACT. DEPENDING ON THE SIZE AND COMPOSITION OF THE TARGET, THIS MAGMA OCEAN MAY FORM A FLOTATION CRUST AS ON THE MOON AND PERHAPS MERCURY, THAT WOULD ACT AS AN INSULATING BLANKET. IMPACTORS THAT PUNCH THROUGH OR DISRUPT THIS CRUST MAY ALLOW THE MAGMA OCEAN TO COOL FASTER. CONVERSELY, FOR MAGMA OCEANS THAT FREEZE FROM THE BOTTOM UP, THE ENERGY INPUT FROM RE-IMPACTS MAY KEEP THEM LIQUID FOR LONGER. THIS FEEDS BACK INTO THE CRATERING RECORD AS CRATERS WILL ONLY BE RECORDED ONCE THERE IS A STABLE, SOLID SURFACE. IN THIS SENSE THE DYNAMICS OF GIANT IMPACT DEBRIS CAN IN PRINCIPLE BECOME A CHRONOMETER OF PLANETARY SOLIDIFICATION. THE INFLUENCE OF LONG TERM RE-ACCUMULATION ON PLANETARY THERMAL EVOLUTION IS OUR SECOND TASK. OUR THIRD TASK IS TO STUDY RE-IMPACTING DEBRIS AS AN ASPECT OF TERRESTRIAL SATELLITE FORMATION. THE MOON, PHOBOS AND DEIMOS LIKELY FORMED FROM CIRCUMPLANETARY DEBRIS DISKS. THESE DISKS DID NOT EXIST IN ISOLATION. THEY, AND THE SATELLITES THAT FORM FROM THEM, WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO RE-IMPACTS BY RETURNING DEBRIS FROM THEIR FORMATIVE GIANT IMPACTS. WHETHER SUCH DISK IMPACTS WOULD HAVE AIDED OR HINDERED SATELLITE FORMATION IS UNCLEAR.

Description

MUCH OF OUR PRESENT, QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACT HISTORY OF THE INNER SOLAR SYSTEM -- A MAJOR DOMAIN OF INTEREST FOR THE SOLAR SYSTEM WORKINGS PROGRAM -- DERIVES FROM 40AR/39AR GEOCHRONOLOGY OF LUNAR IMPACT MELT MATERIALS IN RETURNED SAMPLES AND METEORITES. MOST PUBLISHED DATES WERE OBTAINED THROUGH INCREMENTAL HEATING EXPERIMENTS PERFORMED ON POLYMINERALIC (OR MINERALS + MELT) ROCK FRAGMENTS OF SUCH MATERIAL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE INTERPRETATION OF AGE SPECTRA PRODUCED FROM SUCH EXPERIMENTS IS NOT ALWAYS STRAIGHTFORWARD. IT HAS BEEN SHOWN RECENTLY THAT 40AR/39AR ULTRAVIOLET LASER ABLATION MICROPROBE (UVLAMP) STUDIES OF SUCH COMPLEX MATERIALS WITH HIGH SPATIAL RESOLUTION CAN PROVIDE VALUABLE AGE INFORMATION AND AID IN THE INTERPRETATION OF INCREMENTAL HEATING DATASETS (E.G., MERCER ET AL., 2015, SCIENCE ADVANCES). ENCOURAGED BY PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR APOLLO 15 SAMPLE 15455, WE PROPOSE TO USE UVLAMP TECHNOLOGY TO QUANTIFY THE DISTRIBUTION OF RADIOGENIC 40AR IN ANCIENT (PRESUMABLY PRE-4.0 GA) PLUTONIC PLAGIOCLASE XENOCRYSTS FOUND IN APOLLO 15 AND 16 IMPACT MELT BRECCIAS, AND TO LEVERAGE THAT INFORMATION TO CONSTRAIN THE AGES AND THERMAL HISTORIES OF THE IMPACT MELTS IN WHICH THEY ARE FOUND. SIMILAR ANALYSES OF PLAGIOCLASE CRYSTALS IN LARGER XENOLITHS AND COMPARISON WITH THE XENOCRYST RESULTS MAY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INSIGHTS REGARDING THE THERMAL HISTORIES OF THE SOURCE REGIONS OF THOSE LITHIC CLASTS. OUR INTENT IS TO ADD SUBSTANTIVELY TO OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE SPECTRUM OF AGES AND EXTENTS OF IMPACT MELTS AT VARIOUS APOLLO COLLECTION SITES.

Description

CERES IS THE LARGEST BODY IN THE MAIN ASTEROID BELT WITH A UNIQUE SURFACE COMPOSITION AND A LOW-DENSITY INTERIOR STRUCTURE. INITIAL DAWN RESULTS REVEAL AMMONIATED AND MG PHYLLOSILICATES AND MG-CA CARBONATES IN SURFACE MATERIALS. BRIGHT DEPOSITS IN OCCATOR CRATER ARE RICH IN NA CARBONATE AND MAY CONTAIN AMMONIATED SALTS. THESE MINERAL ASSEMBLAGES ARE ATYPICAL FOR SOLID PLANETS AND METEORITES AND MAY INDICATE UNCOMMON AQUEOUS PROCESSES WITH MUCH CO2 AND AMMONIA, WHICH ARE ONLY ABUNDANT IN THE OUTER SOLAR SYSTEM. DAWN GRAVITY DATA INDICATE A CONCENTRATION OF MASS IN THE DEEP INTERIOR AND MAY INDICATE AT LEAST SOME WATER-ROCK SEPARATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE BODY. THESE OBSERVATIONS COULD CONSTRAIN THE FORMATION AND SUBSEQUENT HISTORY OF CERES AND ANALOGUES BODIES IF MINERALFORMING CONDITIONS ARE UNDERSTOOD. OBJECTIVES. OUR GOAL IS TO CONSTRAIN FORMATION CONDITIONS OF VOLATILE-BEARING AND WATER-DEPOSITED MINERALS ON CERES (CARBONATES, OTHER SALTS, AMMONIATED AND OTHER PHYLLOSILICATES, OXIDES AND S-BEARING PHASES) THROUGH NUMERICAL GEOCHEMICAL MODELING OF WATER-ROCK-GAS AND WATER-SALT TYPE SYSTEMS. (1) WE WILL CONSTRAIN THE FUNDAMENTAL CHEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY OF WATER-ROCK INTERACTION IN CO2- AND NH3-RICH SYSTEMS AS FUNCTIONS OF TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND WATER/ROCK/CO2/NH3 MASS RATIOS. (2) WE WILL CONSIDER PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY OF WATER-ROCK INTERACTIONS IN THE INTERIOR OF CERES FOR STATIC AND FLUID TRANSFER CASES. THIS WORK WILL CONSTRAIN CHEMICAL AND DENSITY PROFILES TOGETHER WITH THE COMPOSITION OF ALTERED ROCKS AND RELEASED FLUIDS. (3) WE WILL MODEL POST-IMPACT SUBSURFACE AQUEOUS CHEMICAL PROCESSES TO CONSTRAIN ORIGINS OF SECONDARY MINERALS, ESPECIALLY IN SALT-RICH BRIGHT DEPOSITS. METHODOLOGY. THE SPECIATION OF WATER-ROCK-GAS AND WATER-SALT TYPE SYSTEMS WILL BE EVALUATED THROUGH CALCULATIONS OF CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIA CONSTRAINED BY MASS BALANCES AT SPECIFIED TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURE IN THE DEEP AND SHALLOW INTERIOR. BOTH HYDROTHERMAL AND SUBFREEZING CONDITIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED. WE WILL CALCULATE COMPOSITIONS AND DENSITIES OF ALTERED ROCKS AND PRECIPITATED SALTS TOGETHER WITH CONCENTRATIONS AND ACTIVITIES OF SPECIES IN AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS. ACID-BASE AND REDUCTION-OXIDATION CONDITIONS WILL BE EVALUATED FOR FORMING FLUIDS. BOTH STATIC (ISOCHEMICAL) AND MOBILE SYSTEMS WILL BE MODELED. THE FLUID TRANSFER WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THE INTERIOR DEHYDRATION SCENARIOS AND POST-IMPACT AQUEOUS SYSTEMS. DAWN GRAVITY AND SHAPE DATA WILL BE USED TO CONSTRAIN THE COUPLED INTERIOR STRUCTURE AND COMPOSITION OF THE BODY. THE RESULTS WILL BE INTERPRETED IN TERMS OF GEOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL PROCESSES, AND COMPOSITION OF OBSERVABLE MATERIALS. THIS WORK IS A CONTINUATION OF THE ONGOING EFFORTS OF THE PI TO CONSTRAIN ORIGINS OF MINERALS ON CERES AND OTHER SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES. IMPORTANCE AND RELEVANCE. THE PROPOSED WORK WILL ASSESS FORMATION CONDITIONS OF UNUSUAL ASSEMBLAGES OF AQUEOUS MINERALS ON CERES. IT WILL CONSTRAIN AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENTS ON CERES AND ANALOGUES NH3-CO2 RICH BODIES IN THE OUTER SOLAR SYSTEM (KBOS, SOME ICY MOONS AND COMETS). THE WORK WILL REVEAL CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATIONS, MASS TRANSFER AND DENSITY CHANGE CAUSED BY INTERIOR AQUEOUS PROCESSES AND FORMATION OF PUTATIVE WATER MANTLE. THE PROPOSAL IS RELEVANT TO THE SSW PROGRAM BECAUSE IT IS INTENDED TO UNDERSTAND THE CHEMICAL AND MINERALOGICAL FEATURES OF PLANETARY SURFACES AND FLUID INVENTORIES. THE WORK IS AIMED AT RECONSTRUCTING THE HISTORY OF VOLATILE INVENTORIES AND UNDERSTANDING THE PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL PROCESSES THAT AFFECT THEM. THE PROPOSED WORK WILL DEVELOP THEORETICAL BASES FOR UNDERSTANDING MINERALOGICAL FEATURES. THE WORK WILL USE NUMERICAL MODELING TO EXPLORE CHEMICAL PROCESSES WITHIN THE SOLAR SYSTEM.

Description

THE SUITE OF CURRENT GLOBAL PRECIPITATION CLIMATOLOGY PROJECT (GPCP) PRECIPITATION PRODUCTS BASED ON GLOBAL OBSERVATIONAL DATA HAS BECOME A SCIENCE COMMUNITY STANDARD, HAVING BEEN USED IN OVER 3500 JOURNAL ARTICLES. THE CURRENT MONTHLY (1979-PRESENT) AND DAILY (1996-PRESENT) PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BY RESEARCH GROUPS OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS. THE GPCP IS THE PRECIPITATION COMPONENT OF AN INTERNATIONALLY COORDINATED SET OF (MAINLY) SATELLITE-BASED GLOBAL PRODUCTS DEALING WITH THE EARTH S WATER AND ENERGY CYCLES, UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE GEWEX OF THE WCRP. WE PROPOSE TO USE THE STRENGTHS OFFERED BY RECENT SPACE-BORNE SENSORS AND RETRIEVAL METHODS TO GENERATE THE NEXT GENERATION GPCP MERGED PRECIPITATION PRODUCTS IN HIGH LATITUDES (GPCP V3.HL) POLEWARD OF 40O LATITUDE AND INTEGRATE IT TO THE LATEST GPCP PRODUCT. REVISING GPCP DATA PRODUCTS OVER SUCH CLIMATE-SENSITIVE AND HYDROLOGICALLY IMPORTANT REGIONS HAS REMAINED A MAJOR GAP BECAUSE IN HIGH LATITUDES (1) GPCP UNCERTAINTIES ARE THE HIGHEST (ADLER ET AL., 2012) AND (2) GPCP HAS NOT GONE THROUGH ANY MAJOR UPDATE OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS. THE PROPOSED WORK WILL IMPROVE GPCP IN HIGH LATITUDES BASED ON THE EMERGENCE OF ADVANCED NASA SENSORS, IMPROVED RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUES, INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS ON PRECIPITATION MEASUREMENT IN HIGH LATITUDES, AND ADVANCES IN NUMERICAL MODELING. WE WILL IDENTIFY, QUANTIFY, DIAGNOSE, AND REDUCE UNCERTAINTIES IN THE GPCP DATA PRODUCTS IN HIGH LATITUDES AND GENERATE AN IMPROVED LONG-TERM GPCP DATA RECORD CALIBRATED TO THE RECENT OBSERVATIONS FROM NASA S MISSIONS AND IN-SITU OBSERVATIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL GROUPS. CONNECTING THESE NEW, SHORT-TERM MEASUREMENTS TO THE LONG-TERM GPCP ANALYSIS WILL AMPLIFY THE IMPACT OF NASA S NEW MISSIONS. THE PROPOSED WORK WILL USE VARIOUS EMERGING CAPABILITIES TO REVISE THE GPCP DATA PRODUCTS IN HIGH LATITUDES. THESE INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: (1) RAINFALL AND SNOWFALL DATA FROM NASA CLOUDSAT MISSION (2006-PRESENT), (2) SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH MASS BALANCE ANALYSES BASED ON NASA GRACE MISSION (2003-PRESENT), (3) ADVANCES IN HIGH LATITUDE PRECIPITATION ESTIMATION DRIVEN BY THE NASA GPM MISSION, (4) RECENT INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS THAT ENHANCED SNOWFALL OBSERVATIONS AND BIAS CORRECTION FOR GAUGES, (5) RECENT OCEANIC SHIPBOARD PRECIPITATION OBSERVATIONS (OCEANRAIN) RECORD FOR SURFACE VALIDATION, AND (6) NEW GENERATION OF REANALYSIS (E.G., NASA MERRA2) AND HIGH RESOLUTION REGIONAL MODELS (I.E., ROCMO2). THE PROPOSED WORK WILL INVOLVE A MAJOR SHIFT TO NEW DATA STREAMS, MODERN LEVEL 2 ALGORITHMS, ADVANCED MERGER TECHNIQUES, AND FINER TIME AND SPACE RESOLUTIONS. WE WILL COMPLEMENT THE LATEST VERSION OF GPCP (V3), CURRENTLY BEING FINALIZED (UNDER PREVIOUS MEASURES PI: HUFFMAN), THAT FOCUSES ON IMPROVEMENT OF GPCP OVER LOW AND MIDDLE LATITUDES USING TRMM AND GPM DATA. WE WILL ALSO BUILD ON THE METHODS DEVELOPED UNDER OTHER MEASURES EFFORTS (E.G., PI: ADLER), PROVIDING ERROR ESTIMATES FOR PRECIPITATION PRODUCTS AT MONTHLY TO DAILY TIME SCALES, SO THAT THE REVISED GPCP PRODUCTS WILL HAVE BIAS AND RANDOM ERROR ESTIMATES WITH UNPRECEDENTED ACCURACY. THE PROPOSED WORK WILL PRODUCE IMPROVED MONTHLY GPCP IN HIGH LATITUDES USING RECENT DATA SETS AND USE THE NEW CALIBRATIONS TO UPDATE THE ENTIRE GPCP RECORD (1979-PRESENT) AT 0.5 O X0.5O SPATIAL RESOLUTION, CONSISTENT WITH GPCP V3. ACCORDINGLY, DAILY PRODUCTS WILL BE IMPROVED THROUGH UPDATED LEVEL 2 PRODUCTS AND WILL BE ADJUSTED TO MONTHLY PRODUCTS USING THE STANDARD GPCP PROCEDURES. THEREFORE, THE PROPOSED WORK WILL COMPLEMENT PREVIOUS MEASURES INVESTMENT, SO THAT THE NEXT GENERATION OF GPCP WILL INCLUDE UPDATES ACROSS THE ENTIRE GLOBE. AS WELL, WE WILL WORK TO PRODUCE AN ADDITIONAL COMBINED OBSERVATION-MODEL ANALYSIS. THE PROPOSAL TEAM INCLUDES KEY GPCP DEVELOPERS. THIS ENSURES THAT THE OUTCOME OF THIS STUDY WILL BE EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATED TO THE FINAL PRODUCT FOLLOWING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE LONG-TERM CDR.

Description

MANY PLANETARY SURFACE PROCESSES (LIKE PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL AND ENERGETIC PARTICLE (SPACE) WEATHERING, WATER ACTIVITY, DIAGENESIS, LOWTEMPERATURE OR IMPACT METAMORPHISM, AND BIOGENIC ACTIVITY) LEAVE TRACES OF THEIR ACTIONS AS FEATURES IN THE SIZE RANGE 10S TO 100S OF MICRONS. THE MAPPING X-RAY FLUORESCENCE SPECTROMETER ( MAPX ) IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE ELEMENTAL IMAGING AT&#65533 MICRON SPATIAL RESOLUTION OF 2.5 X 2.5 CENTIMETER AREAS, YIELDING ELEMENTAL CHEMISTRY AT OR BELOW THE SCALE LENGTH WHERE MANY RELICT PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL, AND BIOLOGICAL FEATURES CAN BE IMAGED AND INTERPRETED IN ANCIENT ROCKS. MAPX IS AN ARM-BASED INSTRUMENT PLACED DIRECTLY ON THE SURFACE OF AN OBJECT TO BE ANALYZED AND HELD IN REGISTRY WITH IT THROUGH THE USE OF TOUCH SENSORS THAT PHYSICALLY CONTACT THE SURFACE. DURING AN ANALYSIS, EITHER AN X-RAY TUBE OR A RADIOISOTOPE SOURCE BOMBARDS THE SAMPLE SURFACE WITH X-RAYS (TUBE SOURCE) OR ALPHA-PARTICLES AND GAMMA-RAYS (RADIOISOTOPE SOURCE), RESULTING IN X-RAY FLUORESCENCE FROM THE SAMPLE. FLUORESCED X-RAYS EMITTED IN THE DIRECTION OF AN X-RAY SENSITIVE CCD IMAGER PASS THROUGH AN X-RAY 1:1 FOCUSING LENS (CALLED AN X-RAY MICRO-PORE OPTIC, MPO) THAT PROJECTS A SPATIALLY RESOLVED IMAGE OF THE X-RAYS GENERATED FROM THE SAMPLE SURFACE ONTO THE CCD. THE CCD IS READ AT SEVERAL FRAMES PER SECOND SO THAT IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES, NO MORE THAN ONE PHOTON STRIKES AN INDIVIDUAL PIXEL BETWEEN READ CYCLES. IN THIS WAY, THE ENERGIES AND POSITIONS OF INDIVIDUAL X-RAY PHOTONS ARE RECORDED. THE IMAGES ARE STORED IN MEMORY AND PROCESSED IN REAL TIME USING ALGORITHMS PARAMETERIZED FROM THE GROUND. IN A SINGLE ANALYSIS, SEVERAL THOUSAND FRAMES ARE BOTH STORED AND PROCESSED IN REAL-TIME. HIGHER-LEVEL DATA PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE RAW IMAGES INCLUDE SINGLE-ELEMENT MAPS FOR ELEMENTS OF INTEREST WITH A LATERAL SPATIAL RESOLUTION OF&#8804 100 MICRONS AND XRF SPECTRA FROM SELECTED REGIONS OF INTEREST (ROI). XRF SPECTRA FROM ROI ARE PROCESSED ON THE GROUND TO DETERMINE QUANTITATIVE ELEMENTAL COMPOSITIONS. QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITIONS FROM ROI ARE COMPARED WITH KNOWN ROCK AND MINERAL COMPOSITIONS TO EXTRAPOLATE THE DATA TO ROCK TYPES AND PUTATIVE MINERALOGIES. A SINGLE MAPX EXPERIMENT PROVIDES ELEMENTAL AND COMPOSITIONAL MAPS AND QUANTITATIVE XRF SPECTRA HAVING A SPATIAL RESOLUTION OF&#8804 100 MICRONS, COMMENSURATE WITH OTHER IMAGING INSTRUMENTS. MAPX IS CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED UNDER THE PICASSO PROGRAM ( X-RAY MICRO-MAPPING SPECTROMETER 13-PICASSO13-0111), AND WILL BE TRL-4 AT ITS EXIT (04/01/17). THE PROPOSED NEW EFFORT UNDER MATISSE FUNDING IS INTENDED TO INCREASE MAPX S READINESS LEVEL TO TRL-6, SUITABLE FOR PROPOSAL TO FLIGHT OPPORTUNITIES. MAPX SCIENCE OBJECTIVES ARE: (1). TO COLLECT FINE-SCALE ELEMENTAL MAPS OF PLANETARY (E.G., MARS) OR PLANETESIMAL (COMET NUCLEUS, ASTEROID, PLANETARY SATELLITE (PHOBOS, DEIMOS GALILEAN AND SATURNIAN MOONS EARTH S MOON)) SURFACE REGOLITH WITH A LATERAL SPATIAL RESOLUTION&#8804 100 MICRONS, A LENGTH SCALE COMMENSURATE WITH OTHER IMAGING INSTRUMENTS AND (2). TO RETURN QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITIONAL INFORMATION (XRF SPECTRA) AND DERIVED MINERALOGICAL INFORMATION FROM REGIONS OF INTEREST (ROI) WITH A SPATIAL RESOLUTION 100 MICRONS&LT;X&LT;2 CENTIMETERS IN IMAGED SURFACE MATERIAL. MAP-X ADDRESSES OBJECTIVE 6 OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM EXPLORATION ROADMAP, INCLUDING: UNDERSTANDING THE CURRENT STATE AND EVOLUTION OF THE ATMOSPHERE, SURFACE AND INTERIOR OF MARS INVESTIGATE THE HISTORY AND BEHAVIOR OF WATER AND OTHER VOLATILES ON MARS STUDY THE CHEMISTRY, MINERALOGY AND CHRONOLOGY OF MARTIAN SURFACE MATERIAL AND INVENTORY AND CHARACTERIZE MARTIAN RESOURCES OF POTENTIAL BENEFIT TO HUMAN EXPLORERS. THIS INVESTIGATION ADDRESSES THE MARS EXPLORATION PROGRAM (MEP) GOAL OF IDENTIFYING AND CHARACTERIZING PAST OR PRESENT HABITABLE ENVIRONMENTS ON MARS USING FINE-SCALE ELEMENTAL CHEMISTRY.

WE PROPOSE TO INVESTIGATE THE ROLE OF VEGETATION DYNAMICS ACROSS THE ABOVE STUDY DOMAIN, BUILDING UPON OUR EXTENSIVE PRIOR WORK DOCUMENTING CHANGES IN ARCTIC AND BOREAL VEGETATION PRODUCTIVITY OVER THE PAST THREE DECADES USING SATELLITE DATA AND RELATED FIELD MEASUREMENTS. WE WILL EXPAND UPON PAST ACTIVITIES WITH RECENT AND HIGHER RESOLUTION SATELLITE DATA PRODUCTS AS WELL AS LIDAR, HYPERSPECTRAL AND SAR DATA FROM THE ABOVE AIRBORNE CAMPAIGNS. THESE ANALYSES WILL BE COUPLED WITH EXTENSIVE FIELD MEASUREMENTS AND SPECIES-SPECIFIC MODELING TO CAPTURE AREAS OF DOCUMENTED BOREAL TREE PRODUCTIVITY AND MORTALITY, AND TUNDRA VEGETATION CHANGES ACROSS CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENTS. OUR INVESTIGATIONS WILL BE IN THE CONTEXT OF EXPLORING MULTIPLE LINES OF EVIDENCE FOR THE PROGRESSION OF AN ARCTIC BOREAL BIOME SHIFT, WHERE TREE PRODUCTIVITY DECREASES AND MORTALITY INCREASES IN THE SOUTHERN BOREAL WHILE SUITABILITY FOR RANGE EXPANSION AND DENSIFICATION OF WOODY VEGETATION (E.G. SHRUBS) INCREASES IN THE NORTHERN BOREAL AND ARCTIC TUNDRA.

Description

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS RESEARCH ARE TO IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE DYNAMICAL ARCHITECTURES OF PLANETARY SYSTEMS AND THE OVERALL MASS DISTRIBUTION OF PLANETS IN THE GALAXY BY USING AVAILABLE EXOPLANET OBSERVATIONAL DATA SETS IN CONCERT WITH THEORY AND MODELING OF THEIR ORBITAL DYNAMICS. OBSERVATIONAL DATA SETS OF EXOPLANETS ARE EXPANDING RAPIDLY (THANKS TO NASA MISSIONS SUCH AS KEPLER AND THE FORTHCOMING JWST, TESS, AND WFIRST), BUT THEIR THEORETICAL INTERPRETATION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY LAGGED. EXOPLANET DETECTION AND ATION PIPELINES NOW ROUTINELY CHECK WHETHER THE PLANETARY SYSTEMS THEY DISCOVER ARE LIKELY TO BE DYNAMICALLY STABLE. AT THE SAME TIME IT IS INCREASINGLY RECOGNIZED THAT OBSERVED PLANETARY ARCHITECTURES ARE OFTEN QUITE CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF DYNAMICAL STABILITY". IN THE FIRST PROJECT, WE WILL APPLY THE TOOLS OF N-BODY NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS TO OBSERVED CLOSE-IN MULTI-PLANET SYSTEMS DISCOVERED BY KEPLER TO ASSESS THEIR DISTRIBUTION OF DYNAMICAL INSTABILITY LIFETIMES. WE WILL IDENTIFY THE COMMON SIGNS OF IMMINENT INSTABILITY AS WELL AS COMMON SIGNS OF LONGEVITY FOR PLANETARY SYSTEMS ON THE EDGE OF DYNAMICAL STABILITY. THIS PROJECT WILL PRODUCE PREDICTIONS OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF STABLE PLANETARY ARCHITECTURES TESTABLE BY FUTURE LARGE SAMPLES OF MULTI-PLANET SYSTEMS SUCH AS THOSE OBSERVED BY THE FORTHCOMING TESS SURVEY. IN THE SECOND PROJECT, WE WILL CONTINUE WITH NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF UNSTABLE SYSTEMS TO ASSESS POST-INSTABILITY PLANETARY ARCHITECTURES. IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT MULTI-PLANET SYSTEMS WITH FEWER, MORE WIDELY SPACED PLANETS COULD BE THE RESULT OF COLLISIONS BETWEEN PLANETS IN ORIGINALLY MORE TIGHTLY PACKED SYSTEMS. BY MODELING TWO DIFFERENT SCENARIOS OF COLLISION OUTCOMES (THAT COLLISIONS ARE EITHER DESTRUCTIVE OR MOSTLY ACCRETIONAL), WE WILL GENERATE SIMULATED DISTRIBUTIONS OF POST-INSTABILITY PLANETARY SYSTEMS ARISING FROM A VARIETY OF PRE-INSTABILITY PLANETARY ARCHITECTURES COMPARISON WITH THE OBSERVED KEPLER PLANETARY SYSTEMS WILL TEST THE IDEA THAT A FRACTION OF THE OBSERVED SYSTEMS UNDERWENT PAST INSTABILITIES. THIS PROJECT WILL ALSO PROVIDE PREDICTIONS FOR THE FREQUENCY OF PLANET-PLANET COLLISIONS AROUND DWARF STARS AS A FUNCTION OF SYSTEM AGE, TO BE COMPARED WITH THE OBSERVED FREQUENCY OF INFRARED-EXCESSES AROUND DWARF STARS. IN THE THIRD PROJECT, WE WILL CONSIDER ANEW THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ORBITAL SEPARATIONS AND PLANETARY MASSES IN MARGINALLY STABLE MULTIPLE PLANET SYSTEMS AND DERIVE AN IMPROVED ESTIMATE OF THE PLANET MASS DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION. WHILE VARIOUS PREVIOUS STUDIES HAVE TAKEN A DETERMINISTIC APPROACH TO COMPUTE DYNAMICAL LIFETIMES AS A FUNCTION OF THE DIMENSIONLESS "DYNAMICAL SEPARATION" (ORBITAL SPACING IN UNITS OF THE MUTUAL HILL RADIUS OF TWO ADJACENT PLANETS), WE PROPOSE A STATISTICAL APPROACH, USING THE RESULTS OF OUR FIRST TWO PROJECTS TO CHARACTERIZE THE DISTRIBUTION OF DYNAMICAL SEPARATIONS AS A FUNCTION OF DYNAMICAL LIFETIMES IN DIVERSE PLANETARY SYSTEMS. WITH THESE RESULTS IN HAND, WE WILL LEVERAGE THE KEPLER DATASET OF WELL DETERMINED ORBITAL PERIODS IN HUNDREDS OF MULTIPLE PLANET SYSTEMS TO PREDICT THE OVERALL MASS DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION OF CLOSE-IN PLANETS. OUR PREDICTED MASS DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION WILL BE OBSERVATIONALLY TESTABLE BY BOTH THE FORTHCOMING TESS TRANSITING PLANET SAMPLE AND BY THE FUTURE WFIRST MISCROLENSING PLANET SAMPLE. OUR PROPOSED INVESTIGATIONS ARE RELEVANT TO XRP BECAUSE THEY INCORPORATE THEORY AND MODELING TO FACILITATE INTERPRETATION OF OBSERVATIONAL DATA FROM NASA'S KEPLER SPACE MISSION, AND THEY WILL MAKE TESTABLE PREDICTIONS FOR FORTHCOMING EXOPLANET SURVEYS AS WELL AS SURVEYS OF INFRARED EXCESSES ASSOCIATED WITH PLANET-PLANET COLLISIONS. OUR PROPOSED STUDIES WILL IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORIGINS OF OBSERVED EXOPLANETARY SYSTEMS BY CHARACTERIZING THEIR ORBITAL DYNAMICS.

Description

THE ROBOTIC LUNAR EXPLORATION LUNAR PRECURSOR ROBOTIC PROGRAM (RLEPLPRP) CONSISTS OF A SERIES OF ROBOTIC LUNAR EXPLORATION MISSIONS TO PREPARE FOR AND TO SUPPORT FUTURE HUMAN EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE ROBOTIC PREPARATION IS TO REDUCE RISK, ENHANCE MISSION SUCCESS, AND REDUCE THE COST OF FUTURE HUMAN MISSIONS. THE LRO PAYLOAD USED TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION OBJECTIVES CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING SIX INSTRUMENTS: 1. LUNAR ORBITER LASER ALTIMETER (LOLA) MEASUREMENT INVESTIGATION SHALL DETERMINE THE GLOBAL TOPOGRAPHY OF THE LUNAR SURFACE AT HIGH RESOLUTION, MEASURE LANDING SITE SLOPES AND SEARCH FOR POLAR ICES IN SHADOWED REGIONS 2. LUNAR RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER CAMERA (LROC) SHALL ACQUIRE TARGETED IMAGES OF THE LUNAR SURFACE CAPABLE OF RESOLVING SMALL-SCALE FEATURES THAT COULD BE LANDING SITE HAZARDS, AS WELL AS WIDE-ANGLE IMAGES AT MULTIPLE WAVELENGTHS OF THE LUNAR POLES TO DOCUMENT CHANGING ILLUMINATION CONDITIONS AND POTENTIAL RESOURCES 3.

SEVENTY-FIVE BILLION M DWARFS IN OUR GALAXY HOST AT LEAST ONE SMALL PLANET IN THE HABITABLE ZONE (HZ). THE STELLAR ULTRAVIOLET (UV) RADIATION FROM M DWARFS IS STRONG AND HIGHLY VARIABLE, AND IMPACTS PLANETARY ATMOSPHERIC LOSS, COMPOSITION AND HABITABILITY. THESE EFFECTS ARE AMPLIFIED BY THE EXTREME PROXIMITY OF THEIR HZS (0.1 0.4 AU). JWST WILL CHARACTERIZE HZ M DWARF PLANETS AND ATTEMPT THE FIRST SPECTROSCOPIC SEARCH FOR LIFE BEYOND THE SOLAR SYSTEM. KNOWING THE UV ENVIRONMENTS OF M DWARF PLANETS WILL BE CRUCIAL TO UNDERSTANDING THEIR ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION AND A KEY PARAMETER IN DISCRIMINATING BETWEEN BIOLOGICAL AND ABIOTIC SOURCES FOR OBSERVED BIOSIGNATURES. THE UV FLUX EMITTED DURING THE SUPER-LUMINOUS PREMAIN SEQUENCE PHASE OF M STARS DRIVES WATER LOSS AND PHOTOCHEMICAL O2 BUILDUP FOR TERRESTRIAL PLANETS WITHIN THE HZ. THIS PHASE CAN PERSIST FOR UP TO A BILLION YEARS FOR THE LOWEST MASS M STARS. AFTERWARDS, UV-DRIVEN PHOTOCHEMISTRY DURING THE MAIN SEQUENCE PHASE STRONGLY AFFECTS A PLANET S ATMOSPHERE, COULD LIMIT THE PLANET S POTENTIAL FOR HABITABILITY, AND MAY CONFUSE STUDIES OF HABITABILITY BY CREATING FALSE CHEMICAL BIOSIGNATURES. OUR PROPOSED CUBESAT OBSERVATORY WILL BE THE FIRST MISSION TO PROVIDE THE TIME-DEPENDENT SPECTRAL SLOPE, INTENSITY AND EVOLUTION OF M DWARF STELLAR UV RADIATION. THESE MEASUREMENTS ARE CRUCIAL TO INTERPRETING OBSERVATIONS OF PLANETARY ATMOSPHERES AROUND LOW-MASS STARS. MISSION: THE STAR-PLANET ACTIVITY RESEARCH CUBESAT (SPARCS) WILL BE A 6U CUBESAT DEVOTED TO MONITORING 25 M STARS IN TWO UV BANDS: SPARCS FAR-UV (S- FUV: 153 171 NM) AND SPARCS NEAR-UV (S-NUV: 260 300 NM). FOR EACH TARGET, SPARCS WILL OBSERVE CONTINUOUSLY BETWEEN ONE AND THREE COMPLETE STELLAR ROTATIONS (4 45 DAYS) OVER A MISSION LIFETIME OF 2 YEARS. A UV CHARACTERIZATION SURVEY OF M DWARFS, THE MOST COMMON OF PLANET HOSTS, IS A PERFECT EXPERIMENT FOR A CUBESAT: -- UV ASTRONOMY CANNOT BE DONE FROM THE GROUND BECAUSE OF EARTH S ATMOSPHERIC ABSORPTION. -- PHOTOMETRY OF NEARBY SOURCES IS AN EFFICIENT USE OF A SMALL APERTURE. -- UNLIKE THE HST, WHOSE TIME IS SHARED AMONG MANY INSTRUMENTS AND PROGRAMS, A CUBESAT CAN PROVIDE DEDICATED SPACE-BASED LONG-TERM MONITORING IN THE UV. TECHNOLOGY: SPARCS WILL ADVANCE UV DETECTOR TECHNOLOGY BY FLYING HIGH QUANTUM EFFICIENCY (QE), UV-OPTIMIZED DETECTORS DEVELOPED AT JPL. THESE DELTA-DOPED DETECTORS HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF DEPLOYMENT DEMONSTRATING GREATER THAN 5X THE SENSITIVITY OF THE DETECTORS USED BY GALEX. SPARCS WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR THEIR APPLICATION IN MISSIONS LIKE LUVOIR OR HABEX. EDUCATION: THE SPARCS RESEARCH PROGRAM WILL TRAIN FUTURE SCIENTISTS AND MISSION LEADERS BY MENTORING FIVE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS, THREE GRADUATE STUDENTS, AND TWO POST-DOCTORAL SCHOLARS THROUGHOUT ALL ASPECTS OF THE MISSION, INCLUDING ENGINEERING, SCIENCE, DATA MANAGEMENT AND OUTREACH. RELEVANCE TO NASA: THE SPARCS MISSION WILL ADDRESS NASA S GOALS OF IDENTIFYING THE CHARACTERISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION OF POTENTIALLY HABITABLE ENVIRONMENTS, INCLUDING HZ PLANET HOSTS LIKE PROXIMA AND TRAPPIST-1. SPARCS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF TARGETOF- OPPORTUNITY UV OBSERVATIONS OF NASA S TESS YIELD OF ROCKY PLANETS IN M DWARF HZS, SOME OF THE FIRST HZ PLANETS TO BE SPECTROSCOPICALLY CHARACTERIZED BY JWST. SPARCS CAN PROVIDE THE NEEDED UV CONTEXT FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF TRANSMISSION AND EMISSION SPECTRA OF THESE POTENTIALLY HABITABLE PLANETS. FURTHER INTO THE FUTURE, SPARCS RESULTS WILL INFORM THE TARGET STRATEGY FOR THE ENORMOUS TELESCOPIC INVESTMENTS IN EXOPLANET SCIENCE OF LUVOIR OR HABEX. SPARCS TECHNOLOGY WILL FILL A GAP IN NASA S CAPABILITIES TO OBSERVE LOW-MASS STELLAR/PLANETARY SYSTEMS IN THE FUV AND NUV. HST S UV CAPABILITIES WILL NOT LAST MUCH LATER THAN 2019, WITH FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES (E.G., LUVOIR) NOT ARRIVING UNTIL SOMETIME AFTER 2035. THE DETECTOR TECHNOLOGY OF THIS CUBESAT WILL PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN THESE AND INTERIM UV-CAPABLE MISSIONS.

THE OTHER PLANETARY FLUID: CARBON DIOXIDE AS A MEDIUM FOR CHEMICAL CHANGES DURING EARLY EVOLUTION IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: DURING THE ACCRETION AND DIFFERENTIATION STAGES OF FORMATION OF SOLAR-SYSTEM BODIES, TEMPERATURES CAN BE HIGH ENOUGH TO DRIVE MELTING AND CHEMICAL TRANSFORMATION OF VOLATILES LIKE ICE. AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS AND HYDROTHERMAL SYSTEMS ARE FAMILIAR CONSEQUENCES WITH IMPRESSIVE CAPACITIES FOR ROCK ALTERATION, ELEMENT TRANSPORT, AND TRANSFORMATION OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC VOLATILE COMPOUNDS. LESS FAMILIAR ARE TRANSPORT, REDISTRIBUTION, AND TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES THAT OCCUR IN CARBONIC (CO2-RICH) FLUIDS, WHICH ARE POSTULATED TO ALSO BE PRODUCTS OF ACCRETION AND DIFFERENTIATION PROCESSES. THE MAIN GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO GENERATE MODELS OF HOW CARBONIC RICH FLUIDS TRANSFORM OTHER VOLATILE CONSTITUENTS OF SOLAR-SYSTEM BODIES EARLY IN THEIR EVOLUTION. THE OBJECTIVES ARE TO PROVIDE THE TOOLS FOR PLANETARY SCIENTISTS TO TEST IDEAS ABOUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CARBONIC FLUIDS IN TRANSPORTING, REDISTRIBUTING, AND TRANSFORMING ORGANIC COMPOUNDS DURING EARLY STAGES OF FORMATION OF SOLAR-SYSTEM BODIES. THESE THEORETICAL TOOLS WILL ALLOW TESTS OF THE CONSEQUENCES AND RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF CARBONIC AND AQUEOUS FLUIDS IN THE TRANSFORMATION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS INHERITED FROM THE SOLAR NEBULA. EXISTING SOLUBILITY DATA IN CARBONIC FLUIDS FOR MAJOR CLASSES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS WILL BE SUMMARIZED AND CRITIQUED. THESE DATA WILL INCLUDE COMPOUNDS FOUND IN METEORITES AND THOUGHT TO BE PRESENT EARLY IN SOLAR SYSTEM HISTORY INCLUDING ALKANES, POLYCYCLIC AROMATICS, AMINES, CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND AMINO ACIDS. METHODOLOGY: SOLUBILITY DATA WILL BE FIT WITH EQUATIONS THAT DEPEND ON TEMPERATURE AND DENSITY. THE BASIS FOR THIS TREATMENT WILL BE THE MOST UP-TO-DATE AND ACCURATE EQUATION OF STATE FOR CO2, WHICH IS WELL-CALIBRATED OVER THE RANGES OF TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES OF PLANETARY PROCESSES. NUMEROUS SETS OF DATA ON THE SOLUBILITY OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS IN CO2 WILL BE USED TO CHARACTERIZE THE BEHAVIOR OF ORGANIC SOLUTES IN CARBONIC FLUIDS, TO GENERATE A DATABASE OF THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES, AND TO SEARCH FOR CORRELATIONS TO BUILD ESTIMATION ALGORITHMS. THE RESULTS WILL BE COMBINED INTO COMPUTER CODES FOR PREDICTING THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF REACTIONS OCCURRING IN CO2 SOLUTIONS, AND IMPLEMENTED IN MODEL CALCULATIONS TO TEST HYPOTHESES ABOUT THE TRANSPORT, REDISTRIBUTION, AND TRANSFORMATION OF VOLATILE COMPOUNDS IN CARBONIC FLUIDS ON SOLAR-SYSTEM BODIES. RELEVANCE TO THE EMERGING WORLDS CALL FOR PROPOSALS: THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL BE RELEVANT TO THE EMERGING WORLDS PROGRAM BECAUSE IT WILL RELATE TO THE DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM THEME, INCLUDING: EARLY THERMAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES OCCURRING ON SMALL BODIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR WHEN THEY DIFFERENTIATED, AND PROCESSES THAT OCCUR ON SOLAR-SYSTEM BODIES DURING THE PERIOD OF GLOBAL DIFFERENTIATION. IN ADDITION THIS RESEARCH WILL ALSO FOCUS ON THE ABUNDANCES AND PRESERVATION OF ORGANIC MOLECULES IN ACCRETING MATTER, AND THEIR SURVIVAL THROUGH THE ACCRETION PROCESS.

THE NASA CLOUDS AND THE EARTH S RADIANT ENERGY SYSTEM (CERES) EDITION 4 (ED4) CLOUD PROPERTY PRODUCTS HAVE RECENTLY BEEN MADE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC USE. COMPARED TO ITS PREDECESSOR, THE CERES EDITION 2 (ED2), THE ED4 CLOUD PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY IN CLOUD FRACTION, CLOUD HEIGHT, AND CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES GLOBALLY. HOWEVER, SOME OUTSTANDING ISSUES EXIST, SUCH AS DIFFERENT TRENDS OF CLOUD FRACTIONS AND HEIGHTS DERIVED FROM TERRA AND AQUA MODIS OVER THE POLAR AND NON-POLAR REGIONS, OCEAN AND LAND, AND DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME, AS WELL AS THE CLOUD 3-D EFFECT ON THE CERES CLOUD PROPERTY RETRIEVALS AND THE DEPENDENCIES OF THESE RETRIEVALS ON THE SATELLITE VIEW ZENITH ANGLE (VZA) AND SOLAR ZENITH ANGLE (SZA). ANOTHER OUTSTANDING ISSUE IS THE INCONSISTENT CLOUD PROPERTIES BETWEEN MODIS AND VIIRS. THESE ISSUES NEED FURTHER INVESTIGATION. IN THIS PROPOSAL, OUR VALIDATION EFFORTS WILL BE GROUPED INTO THREE OBJECTIVES COMPRISED OF SEVEN TASKS AS FOLLOWS.

Description

CALLISTO IS THE THIRD LARGEST NATURAL SATELLITE IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND YET APPEARS UNUSUALLY INACTIVE FOR A BODY OF ITS SIZE. GALILEO IMAGERY SHOWS A BODY COVERED WITH IMPACT CRATERS AND VERY FEW OTHER LARGE-SCALE GEOLOGIC FEATURES. IN CONTRAST, ITS ICY NEIGHBORS GANYMEDE AND EUROPA, SHOW DIVERSE GEOLOGY AND SURFACE AGE UNITS, INDICATIVE OF INTERNAL ACTIVITY. IF OUR CURRENT UNDERSTANDING IS CORRECT, CALLISTO REPRESENTS A PUZZLING END MEMBER FOR LARGE ICY WORLDS. INVESTIGATION OF CALLISTO S CURRENT AND HISTORIC HEAT FLOW, AND INTERNAL STRUCTURE CAN THEREFORE INFORM OUR UNDERSTANDING OF DIFFERENTIATION AND PLANETARY EVOLUTION. IMPACTS CAN BE USED AS PROBES OF PLANETARY SUB-SURFACES AS CRATER MORPHOLOGY IS AFFECTED BY TARGET PROPERTIES. THE PROPOSAL TEAM HAS ALREADY STUDIED THE NEAR-SURFACE INTERIORS (DEPTH&LT;200 KM) OF GANYMEDE AND EUROPA USING ANALYSIS OF IMPACT CRATERS (BRAY 2009 BRAY ET AL., 2012 BRAY ET AL., 2014). THESE STUDIES PRODUCED ESTIMATES OF HISTORIC HEAT FLOW AND GLOBALLY AVERAGED CRUSTAL THICKNESS FOR GANYMEDE AND EUROPA. THE TRIED AND TESTED METHODS EMPLOYED IN THESE ANALYSES WILL BE APPLIED TO CALLISTO AS PART OF THE PROPOSED STUDY, AND USED TO ESTIMATE HEAT FLOW AND NEAR-SURFACE CRUSTAL STRUCTURE.

Description

THE MASS-RADIUS RELATION HAS PLAYED A CENTRAL ROLE IN UNDERSTANDING THE COMPOSITIONS OF THE EXTRASOLAR PLANETS FROM ASTROPHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS WHERE IT HAS BEEN ASSUMED THAT GAS , ICE , ROCK , AND METAL DO NOT REACT WITH EACH OTHER SIGNIFICANTLY AND THAT THEY THEREFORE FORM SEPARATE LAYERS IN THE INTERIORS OF THE EXOPLANETS. SPECIFICALLY, SOME LARGE EXOPLANETS WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER DENSITY THAN SUPER-EARTH HAVE BEEN MODELED AS WATER WORLDS WHERE THE ROCKY MANTLE IS OVERLAIN BY A FEW HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF KILOMETERS THICKNESS OF ICE. FOR ICY AND GAS GIANT EXOPLANETS, A MECHANICAL MIXTURE OF ICE AND ROCK HAS BEEN USED TO MODEL THE CORE. ALTHOUGH THE EQUATIONS OF STATE OF ROCK, METAL, ICE, AND GAS HAVE BEEN EXTENSIVELY STUDIED INDIVIDUALLY, THEIR MUTUAL INTERACTIONS AT PRESSURETEMPERATURE CONDITIONS OF THE INTERIORS OF LARGE EXOPLANETS REPRESENT A NEW AND COMPLETELY UNEXPLORED PLANETARY PARADIGM. OUR RECENT EXPERIMENTS HAVE SHOWN THAT PRESSURE ALLOWS MORE WATER TO BE INCORPORATED INTO THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF SILICA. EXTRAPOLATION OF THIS TREND PREDICTS THAT ICE AND SILICA MAY EVEN FORM SOLID SOLUTIONS ABOVE 100 GPA. BECAUSE OF THEIR HITHERTO UNKNOWN THERMOELASTIC PROPERTIES, THE EXISTENCE OF STABLE ROCK-ICE ALLOYS WOULD HAVE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON THE INTERPRETATION OF EXOPLANETARY MASS-RADIUS RELATIONS BASED ON THE CONVENTIONAL NOTION OF DISTINCT GAS , ICE , ROCK , AND METAL COMPONENTS. WE WILL UNDERTAKE A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF POTENTIALLY NEW CLASSES OF MATERIALS FORMED FROM ICE-ROCK REACTIONS IN THE DEEP INTERIORS OF EXOPLANETS BY COMBINING EXPERIMENTS AND THEORETICAL SIMULATIONS. THE OVERARCHING GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY THE PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS WHERE THE TRADITIONAL ROCK AND ICE BARRIER BREAKS DOWN AND A NEW CLASS OF MATERIALS FORMS IN THE SI-O-H SYSTEM AND, ULTIMATELY, PROVIDE UPDATED MASS-RADIUS RELATIONS FOR EXOPLANET RESEARCH. DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY WILL BE USED TO DEVELOP A PLAUSIBLE RANGE OF CRYSTALLINE MODELS OF SILICA-ICE SOLID SOLUTION PHASES AND PREDICT THEIR EQUATIONS OF STATE. THE PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE STABILITY FIELDS OF EACH CANDIDATE PHASE ASSESSED BY COMPARING ITS FREE ENERGY TO THAT OF A CORRESPONDING SILICA+ICE MIXTURE. THE MOST FAVORABLE CANDIDATE PHASES IDENTIFIED IN THIS INITIAL STEP WILL THEN INFORM HIGH PRESSURE EXPERIMENTS. IN EXPERIMENTS, WE WILL SYSTEMATICALLY EXPLORE THE REACTIONS BETWEEN SILICA AND ICE AT IN SITU HIGH PRESSURE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE IN THE LASER-HEATED DIAMOND-ANVIL CELL. RAMAN AND INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY WILL BE CONDUCTED FOR THE SAMPLES AT ASU IN ORDER TO MAP THE STABILITY FIELDS OF NEW PHASES IN THE SI-O-H SYSTEM. IN SITU SYNCHROTRON X-RAY DIFFRACTION AT HIGH TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES ALLOWS US TO DIRECTLY OBTAIN STRUCTURAL INFORMATION AND THE EQUATIONS OF STATE OF THE NEW PHASES. THE COMBINED EXPERIMENTAL AND COMPUTATIONAL RESULTS WILL THEN BE USED TO CONSTRUCT NEW MASS-RADIUS RELATIONS FOR THE EXOPLANET DATA ANALYSIS. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL COMBINE, FOR THE FIRST TIME, TARGETED LABORATORY AND FIRST PRINCIPLES SIMULATIONS EFFORTS TO EXPLORE NEW CHEMISTRY IN THE SI-O-H SYSTEM WHOSE COMPONENTS HAVE BEEN TRADITIONALLY CONSIDERED INCOMPATIBLE WITH ONE ANOTHER. AS SUGGESTED IN OUR PRELIMINARY STUDY, IF THE BARRIER BETWEEN ROCK AND ICE BREAKS DOWN IN THE INTERIORS OF LARGE EXOPLANETS, IT WILL HAVE PROFOUND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE INTERPRETATIONS OF EXOPLANETARY COMPOSITIONS FROM THE MASS-RADIUS RELATION. THE EXPECTED MAIN OUTCOME OF THIS RESEARCH PROJECT IS IMPROVED MASS-RADIUS RELATIONS, WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT INTERPRETATION OF A WIDE RANGE OF EXOPLANETS, INCLUDING GAS GIANTS, ICY GIANTS, MINI-NEPTUNES, AND WATER WORLD EXOPLANETS. THEREFORE, OUR PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL HAVE IMMEDIATE IMPACTS FOR THE ONGOING AND NEAR FUTURE OBSERVATIONS USING GROUND-BASED TELESCOPES AND SPACE TELESCOPES (SUCH AS, CHEOPS, TESS, AND GAIA) WHICH WILL DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE THE PRECISION OF MEASURED RADII AND MASSES OF THE EXOPLANETS.

OBJECTIVES IN OUR PROPOSAL WE ADDRESS QUESTION 6 LISTED IN THE NASA TERRESTRIAL ECOLOGY PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT HOW ARE THE MAGNITUDES, FATES, AND LAND-ATMOSPHERE EXCHANGES OF CARBON POOLS RESPONDING TO ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE, AND WHAT ARE THE BIOGEOCHEMICAL MECHANISMS? WE WILL IMPROVE THE MECHANISTIC REPRESENTATION OF BIOCHEMICAL PROCESSES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY EARTH SYSTEM MODEL (CESM) TO EVALUATE WHETHER WARMING IN THE ARCTIC HAS AND IS LIKELY TO CAUSE AMPLIFYING FEEDBACKS TO CLIMATE. BRIEFLY, WE INTEGRATE RESEARCH RESULTS FROM THE ABOVE CAMPAIGN WITH THE COMMUNITY LAND MODEL, A MECHANISTIC MODEL OF LAND-ATMOSPHERE EXCHANGE WHICH WE WILL ENSURE IS CONSISTENT WITH WELL TESTED HISTORICAL REMOTE SENSING PRODUCTS (NDVI AND INFERRED LAI). WE HAVE USED DATA ASSIMILATION TO ENSURE THAT THE MODEL AGREES WITH HISTORICAL LAI IN THE REGION AND WILL INCORPORATE COLLECTIONS OF SOLAR INDUCED FLUORESCENCE AND IN THE SECOND PHASE OF THE PROJECT, RECENT ABOVE DATA COLLECTIONS. WHERE THE HIGHLY TUNED MODEL DISAGREES WITH APPROPRIATELY SCALED OBSERVATIONS WE WILL INFER A BIOGEOCHEMICAL MECHANISM IS MISSPECIFIED, MIS-PARAMETERISED OR MISSING. BY REVISING THE REPRESENTATION OF MECHANISMS IN THE MODEL SUBROUTINES WE CAN TEST A SERIES OF HYPOTHESES TO DEVELOP OUR UNDERSTANDING OF FEEDBACKS BETWEEN GLOBAL SCALE CLIMATE FORCING AND REGIONAL AND LOCAL SCALE IMPACTS. BY PUTTING AN EARTH SYSTEM MODEL AT THE CENTER OF OUR APPROACH WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INFER BOTH IMPACTS OF FORCING ON ECOSYSTEM SERVICES AND LIKELY FEEDBACKS OF THESE CHANGES ON FUTURE GLOBAL CLIMATE. METHODS OUR DATA ASSIMILATION SYSTEM BRINGS TOGETHER CESML, ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY DEVELOPED AND EXTENSIVELY USED ESMS WITH A LEADING-EDGE, COMMUNITY ENSEMBLE DATA ASSIMILATION TOOL, THE DATA ASSIMILATION RESEARCH TESTBED (DART). TOGETHER, THEY REPRESENTS ONE OF THE MOST ADVANCED DA SYSTEMS YET DEVELOPED FOR SUCH A COMPLETE, COUPLED ESM. WE PROPOSE TO USE THE BIOPHYSICAL AND ECOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIPS IN THE COMMUNITY LAND MODEL (CLM) TO TRANSLATE THE WEALTH OF ABOVEGROUND OBSERVATIONS OF BIOLOGICAL AND BIOPHYSICAL CONTROLS INTO ESTIMATES OF BELOWGROUND CARBON, WATER AND ENERGY EXCHANGE. WE WILL USE AN ENSEMBLE KALMAN FILTER WITHIN THE DATA ASSIMILATION RESEARCH TESTBED TO MINIMIZE MODEL ERROR IN ESTIMATES OF MODEL STATES AND PROCESSES THAT ARE OBSERVABLE FROM SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING. THIS ITSELF IMPROVES ESTIMATES OF BELOWGROUND PROCESSES WHICH CAN BE VERIFIED AGAINST EXTENSIVE BUT SMALL SCALE IN-SITU ESTIMATES FROM NASA, DOE, NEON, LTER AND PI-LED OBSERVATIONS WHERE AVAILABLE. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO INVESTIGATE AND TEST ALTERNATIVE MODEL APPROACHES WITH FEWER CONFOUNDING PROCESSES. OUR DATA CONSTRAINED MODEL ESTIMATES OF CARBON DYNAMICS THEN ENABLE US TO PREDICT CARBON DIOXIDE AND METHANE FLUXES OVER ARCTIC AND BOREAL REGIONS WITH QUANTIFIED UNCERTAINTIES. SIGNIFICANCE AND RELEVANCE TO NASA THIS PROPOSAL IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIVE TO THE ABOVE PHASE 2 SOLICITED RESEARCH IN (4) INTEGRATING RESEARCH RESULTS FROM ABOVE INTO A COHERENT MODELING FRAMEWORK TO DIAGNOSE AND PREDICT ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS AND THE CONSEQUENT SOCIETAL IMPACTS OF CHANGES TO THE ECOSYSTEM. IT WILL IMPROVE THE UNDERSTANDING AND REPRESENTATION OF TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS IN EARTH SYSTEM MODELS BY PROVIDING ADVANCED DATA ASSIMILATION CAPABILITIES TO CONSTRAIN CLM WITH OBSERVATIONS, IMPROVE FORECASTING ABILITY AND IDENTIFY AREAS FOR MODEL DEVELOPMENT. IT WILL COMBINE MEASUREMENTS AND MODELS LEVERAGING INVESTMENTS FROM MULTIPLE AGENCIES AND WILL IMPROVE QUANTITATIVE AND PREDICTIVE UNDERSTANDING OF ABOVE- AND BELOWGROUND PROCESSES AND TRAITS IN TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS ACROSS ARCTIC AND BOREAL REGIONS. THIS APPROACH FORMALLY CHARACTERIZES UNCERTAINTIES THROUGHOUT CLM, AND HAS BEEN EXPLICITLY DEVELOPED FOR IMPROVING THE PREDICTABILITY OF EARTH SYSTEM MODELS. AS COMMUNITY TOOLS, ANY CODE DEVELOPMENTS FOR DART AND CLM WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ALL THROUGH WELL DOCUMENTED REPOSITORIES.

Description

AS RECOGNIZED PROMINENTLY BY THE APRA PROGRAM, INTERPRETATION OF NASA ASTROPHYSICAL MISSION OBSERVATIONS REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT PRODUCTS OF LABORATORY ASTROPHYSICS, FOR EXAMPLE, SPECTRAL LINES AND TRANSITION PROBABILITIES, ELECTRON-, PROTON-, OR HEAVY-PARTICLE COLLISION DATA. AVAILABILITY OF THESE DATA UNDERPIN ROBUST AND VALIDATED MODELS OF ASTROPHYSICAL EMISSIONS AND ABSORPTIONS, ENERGY, MOMENTUM, AND PARTICLE TRANSPORT, DYNAMICS, AND REACTIONS. THEREFORE, MEASURED OR COMPUTATIONALLY DERIVED, ANALYZED, AND READILY AVAILABLE LABORATORY ASTROPHYSICS DATA SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCES THE SCIENTIFIC RETURN ON NASA MISSIONS SUCH AS HST, SPITZER, AND JWST. IN THE PRESENT WORK A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF DATA WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR THE UBIQUITOUS PROTON-HYDROGEN AND HYDROGEN-HYDROGEN COLLISIONS IN ASTROPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDING ISM SHOCKS, SUPERNOVA REMNANTS AND BUBBLES, HI CLOUDS, YOUNG STELLAR OBJECTS, AND WINDS WITHIN STELLAR SPHERES, COVERING THE NECESSARY WIDE RANGE OF ENERGY- AND CHARGE-CHANGING CHANNELS, COLLISION ENERGIES, AND MOST RELEVANT SCATTERING PARAMETERS. IN ADDITION, BUILDING ON PRELIMINARY WORK, A TRANSPORT AND REACTION SIMULATION WILL BE DEVELOPED INCORPORATING THE ELASTIC AND INELASTIC COLLISION DATA COLLECTED AND PRODUCED. THE WORK WILL BUILD UPON SIGNIFICANT PREVIOUS EFFORTS OF THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS AND COLLABORATORS, WILL RESULT IN A COMPREHENSIVE DATA SET REQUIRED FOR MODELING THESE ENVIRONMENTS AND INTERPRETING NASA ASTROPHYSICAL MISSION OBSERVATIONS, AND WILL BENEFIT FROM FEEDBACK FROM COLLABORATORS WHO ARE ACTIVE USERS OF THE WORK PROPOSED.

SPACEWATCH IS THE EXCLUSIVE USER OF A 1.8-METER TELESCOPE AND A 0.9-METER TELESCOPE ON KITT PEAK, ARIZONA FOR FOLLOWUP ASTROMETRY AND PHOTOMETRY OF ASTEROIDS AND COMETS. ASTROMETRY IS THE MEASUREMENT OF THE POSITIONS AND MOTIONS OF CELESTIAL OBJECTS. IT IS ACCOMPLISHED BY IMAGING THEIR POSITIONS ON THE SKY AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF STARS WHOSE POSITIONS ARE ALREADY KNOWN. IN THE CASE OF ASTEROIDS, TIME SEQUENCES OF ASTROMETRIC POSITIONS KNOWN AS TRACKLETS ARE USED BY THE MINOR PLANET CENTER (MPC) TO COMPUTE THE ORBITS OF ASTEROIDS AND PREDICT THEIR POSITIONS FOR FUTURE OBSERVATIONS. ASTROMETRIC MEASUREMENTS OF NEAR-EARTH OBJECTS (NEOS) FOR THIS PURPOSE ARE EXPLICITLY REQUESTED BY NASA S NEO OBSERVATION PROGRAM. PHOTOMETRY IS USED BY THE MPC TO UPDATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ABSOLUTE MAGNITUDES (INTRINSIC BRIGHTNESS OF ASTEROIDS AS ILLUMINATED BY SUNLIGHT), WHICH SERVE AS SURROGATES FOR THE APPROXIMATE SIZES OF OBJECTS. FOLLOWUP OBSERVATIONS TARGETED TO SPECIFIC OBJECTS ARE BOTH REQUIRED AND LABOR-INTENSIVE BECAUSE UNLIKE PREARRANGED SURVEY PATTERNS, THEY CANNOT BE PROGRAMMED FAR IN ADVANCE. SKILL AND JUDGMENT ON THE PART OF THE OBSERVERS ARE REQUIRED TO ADAPT ON SHORT NOTICE TO CHANGES OF TARGET PRIORITIES, CHANGES OF EXPECTED TARGET PROPERTIES, AND CHANGING OBSERVING CONDITIONS. SPACEWATCH IS COMPOSED OF AN EXPERIENCED CREW AND MATURE SOFTWARE AND EQUIPMENT FOR THIS PURPOSE. OUR 1.8-METER TELESCOPE IS THE LARGEST ONE KNOWN TO US IN THE WORLD THAT IS DEDICATED EXCLUSIVELY TO ASTROMETRY OF ASTEROIDS, AND AS SUCH ALLOWS US TO OBSERVE OBJECTS AT DIMMER MAGNITUDES THAN MOST OTHER SUCH OBSERVATORIES. WE FOCUS OUR EFFORTS ON NEOS OF HIGH PRIORITY WHILE THEY ARE FAINT (V21-24) AND FOR WHICH IMPROVED KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR ORBITS IS NEEDED. THESE INCLUDE RECENTLY DISCOVERED OBJECTS ON THE MPC S CONFIRMATION PAGE, OBJECTS FOR WHICH JPL INDICATES POTENTIAL CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH EARTH, POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS ASTEROIDS (PHAS) AS INDICATED BY THE MPC, NEOS OBSERVED IN THE INFRARED BY SPACECRAFT, FUTURE TARGETS OF RADAR, NEOS WHOSE TAXONOMIC SPECTRA HAVE BEEN MEASURED, POTENTIAL DESTINATIONS OF SPACECRAFT, CANDIDATES FOR DETECTION OF THE YARKOVSKY EFFECT, AND SPECIAL REQUESTS BY THE MPC, JPL, AND THE PLANETARY SCIENCE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL. SPACEWATCH WORK CONTINUES TO BE VALUABLE TO THE NEO SEARCH CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THE SURVEYS DISCOVER ASTEROIDS AT AN INCREASING RATE. IN TURN, SPACEWATCH HAS BEEN MAKING SUPPORTING FOLLOWUP OBSERVATIONS AT A RATE THAT HAS STEADILY ACCELERATED FROM 1984 TO THE PRESENT. SPACEWATCH CONTRIBUTES SEVERAL THOUSAND TRACKLETS OF OBSERVATIONS OF NEOS PER YEAR, MANY OF WHICH ARE OF FAINTER OBJECTS THAN THOSE OBSERVED BY OTHER FOLLOWUP STATIONS. THE MORE DISTANT THAT OBJECTS ARE OBSERVED FROM EARTH, THE MORE ACCURATE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR ORBITS AND THE PREDICTIONS OF THEIR RETURN APPARITIONS. SPACEWATCH LEADS THE WORLD IN MAKING OBSERVATIONS OF PHAS MORE THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE LAST PREVIOUS OBSERVATION, THUS PROVIDING GOOD MATHEMATICAL LEVERAGE ON THE REFINEMENT OF KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR ORBITS. BY OBSERVING ASTEROIDS WITH POTENTIAL IMPACT TRAJECTORIES, SPACEWATCH HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE REMOVAL OF HALF OF SUCH OBJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN RETIRED FROM JPL S LIST. WHEN SPACEWATCH IS THE ONLY STATION TO OBSERVE A PARTICULAR PROVISIONALLY DESIGNATED NEO ON A PARTICULAR NIGHT, THE MPC S DAILY ORBIT UPDATES (DOUS) ALMOST ALWAYS SHOW A SET OF REVISED ORBITAL ELEMENTS. THIS PROPOSAL IS TO RENEW SUPPORT FOR THE CORE OPERATION OF SPACEWATCH WITH ITS OWN TWO TELESCOPES. GRADUAL ENHANCEMENTS TO OBSERVATIONAL CAPABILITIES WILL PROGRESS INCREMENTALLY AS BEFORE, ALONG WITH THE STEADY PACE OF OBSERVING. DATA WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IN A READILY USABLE FORM AND WILL BE FORWARDED FOR PEER REVIEW THROUGH THE PLANETARY DATA SYSTEM S SMALL BODIES NODE.

Description

VARIOUS OBSERVATIONS SUGGEST THE PRESENCE OF SUBSURFACE OCEANS IN ICY SATELLITES. TIDAL ENERGY DISSIPATION IS AN IMPORTANT LONG TERM ENERGY SOURCE THAT PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN THE LONG TERM EVOLUTION OF THESE OCEANS. HOWEVER, NONE OF THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE STUDIES CONSIDERING OCEAN DISSIPATION ARE DIRECTLY APPLICABLE TO ICY SATELLITES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY ASSUME SURFACE OCEANS WITHOUT A SOLID LID. THEREFORE, WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP FORMALISMS FOR OCEAN DISSIPATION THAT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE PRESENCE OF A SOLID LID. TRADITIONAL CALCULATIONS OF THE TIDAL DEFORMATION OF THE SOLID PARTS OF SATELLITES IGNORE INERTIAL TERMS. HOWEVER, THE VALIDITY OF THIS APPROXIMATION FOR THE SHORT TIDAL FORCING PERIODS HAS NOT BEEN EXPLORED. WE WILL EXPLORE THE EFFECT OF INERTIAL TERMS ON SOLID TIDAL DEFORMATION USING AN EXTENDED LOVE NUMBER CALCULATION METHOD. TO UNDERSTAND THE EXTENT TO WHICH TIDAL HEATING MAY EXTEND THE LIFETIME OF SUBSURFACE OCEANS, WE PROPOSE TO SOLVE THE COUPLED THERMAL ORBITAL EVOLUTION PROBLEM. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL PROVIDE A SELF CONSISTENT THEORETICAL TREATMENT THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT 1 THE EFFECT OF A SOLID LID ON OCEAN DYNAMICS, 2 THE EFFECT OF INERTIAL TERMS ON TIDAL DEFORMATION, AND 3 THE COUPLING BETWEEN THERMAL AND ORBITAL EVOLUTION. WE WILL APPLY THIS GENERAL THEORETICAL TREATMENT TO THE FULL SUITE OF ICY SATELLITES WITH SUBSURFACE OCEANS. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO REASSESS ARGUMENTS RELATED TO TIDAL HEATING, CONSIDER THE RELATIVE CONTRIBUTIONS TO TIDAL HEATING FROM DISSIPATION IN THE OCEAN AND IN THE SOLID REGIONS, AND INVESTIGATE THE LONG TERM EVOLUTION OF SUBSURFACE OCEANS. IN DOING SO, WE WILL BE ABLE ADDRESS THE EXTENT TO WHICH THEY ARE LIKELY TO PROVIDE HABITABLE ENVIRONMENTS. THE PROPOSED STUDY SUPPORTS THE OBJECTIVES OF THE HABITABLE WORLDS PROGRAM PROGRAM AND NASA OVERALL BY DEVELOPING A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE LONG TERM EVOLUTION OF INTERIOR OCEANS AND TIDAL DISSIPATION IN ICY SATELLITES. THIS WORK WILL BE OF DIRECT RELEVANCE TO THE GOALS OF THE HABITABLE WORLDS, AS IT DIRECTLY ADDRESSES ONE BULLET IN THE APPENDIX C4 OF THE ROSES 2014 ICY WORLDS THE ASTROBIOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF ICY WORLDS IN THE OUTER SOLAR SYSTEM, INCLUDING EUROPA, GANYMEDE, ENCELADUS, AND TITAN. RESEARCH AREAS COULD INCLUDE THE PRESENCE OF WATER AND OR EXOTIC SOLVENTS, SOURCES OF ENERGY FOR LIFE, PRESENCE OF ORGANICS AND THEIR REACTIVITY, AND OCEAN PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY ON EUROPA OR ENCELADUS AS IT PERTAINS TO HABITABILITY AND HABITABILITY OVER TIME.

THE KUIPER BELT HOLDS MEMORY OF THE DYNAMICAL PROCESSES THAT SHAPED THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE ORBITAL MIGRATION HISTORY OF THE GIANT PLANETS. WE PROPOSE STUDIES OF THE ORBITAL DYNAMICS OF THE KUIPER BELT IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE ORIGIN OF ITS COMPLEX DYNAMICAL STRUCTURE AND ITS LINK TO THE ORBITAL MIGRATION HISTORY OF THE GIANT PLANETS. BY MEANS OF NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS, STATISTICAL TESTS, AS WELL AS ANALYTICAL CALCULATIONS WE WILL (1) INVESTIGATE THE ORIGIN OF RESONANT KUIPER BELT OBJECTS TO TEST ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS OF NEPTUNE'S MIGRATION HISTORY, (2) INVESTIGATE THE LONG TERM DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION OF THE HAUMEA FAMILY OF KUIPER BELT OBJECTS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE AGE ESTIMATE OF THIS FAMILY, AND (3) INVESTIGATE RESONANCE-STICKING BEHAVIOR AND THE KOZAI-LIDOV MECHANISM AND ITS ROLE IN THE ORIGIN OF THE EXTENDED SCATTERED DISK. THESE STUDIES DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE GOALS OF THE NASA-OSS PROGRAM BY IMPROVING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM'S ARCHITECTURE. OUR RESULTS WILL PROVIDE CONSTRAINTS ON THE NATURE AND TIMING OF THE DYNAMICAL EXCITATION EVENT THAT IS THOUGHT TO HAVE OCCURRED IN EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM HISTORY AND TO HAVE DETERMINED THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE PRESENT-DAY SOLAR SYSTEM OUR RESULTS WILL ALSO PROVIDE DEEPER THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF STICKY MEAN MOTION RESONANCES WHICH CONTRIBUTE GREATLY TO THE LONGEVITY OF MANY SMALL BODIES, IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF DYNAMICAL TRANSPORT OF PLANETESIMALS IN PLANETARY SYSTEMS, AND HELP INTERPRET OBSERVATIONS OF OTHER PLANETARY SYSTEMS.

Description

THE CATALINA SKY SURVEY (CSS) IS A LEADING CONTRIBUTOR TO NASA'S EFFORT TO DETECT AND TRACK NEAR EARTH OBJECTS (NEOS) THAT MAY POSE AN IMPACT RISK TO THE EARTH. CSS RECENTLY DEPLOYED UPGRADED CAMERAS ON ITS TWO SURVEY TELESCOPES, WHICH CONTRIBUTED TO A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN BOTH THE CSS AND OVERALL NEO DISCOVERY RATE DURING 2016. WE PROPOSE TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE BOTH CSS SURVEY TELESCOPES 24 NIGHTS PER LUNATION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AND TO SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASE OUR ACCESS TO TELESCOPES FOR ASTROMETRIC FOLLOW-UP OF NEOS MADE NECESSARY BY THE INCREASED SURVEY DISCOVERIES. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF NIGHTS SCHEDULED ON THE CSS 1.0-M TELESCOPE FROM 12 TO 24 NIGHTS PER LUNATION. THE CSS 1.0-M TELESCOPE WILL ALSO BE UPGRADED FROM ITS CURRENT CASSEGRAIN CONFIGURATION TO A PRIME FOCUS DESIGN WHICH WILL INCREASE ITS FIELD OF VIEW AND THROUGHPUT, AND SIMPLIFY ITS COLLIMATION AND MAINTENANCE. IN ORDER TO EFFICIENTLY SCHEDULE THESE DIVERSE FOLLOW-UP TELESCOPES, WE WILL CREATE AN AUTOMATED NEO FOLLOW-UP BROKER CALLED NEOFIXER. NEOFIXER WILL DIRECTLY TASK TELESCOPES OPERATED BY CSS (INITIALLY) AND ADVISE EXTERNAL FOLLOW-UP PROGRAMS (SUBSEQUENTLY) TO STEER RESOURCES WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED MOST. NEOFIXER WILL AGGREGATE INFORMATION FROM MPC, JPL, PARTICIPATING FOLLOW-UP TELESCOPES, AND OTHER SOURCES, AND WILL EVALUATE THE NEED FOR OBSERVATIONS BASED ON OBJECT TYPE, SKY-PLANE UNCERTAINTY, CURRENT VS. FUTURE OBSERVABILITY, AND OTHER CRITERIA. THIS WILL THEN BE MAPPED TO THE CAPABILITIES AND PREFERENCES OF PARTICIPATING TELESCOPES, ESSENTIALLY ANSWERING THE QUESTION, WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE OBSERVATION A GIVEN TELESCOPE CAN MAKE AT A GIVEN TIME? CSS WILL OPERATE NEOFIXER AS AN OPEN, TRANSPARENT SERVICE TO THE NEO COMMUNITY TO HELP MANAGE MORE EFFICIENT FOLLOW-UP AS DEMAND CONTINUES TO INCREASE FROM ALL SURVEYS. INCREASED FOLLOW-UP WILL ALSO INCREASE CSS SURVEY OBSERVATIONS PRECISELY BY OFFLOADING A SIGNIFICANT FOLLOW-UP BURDEN FROM OUR SURVEY TELESCOPES (REDOUBLING THE NEED FOR FOLLOW-UP). AT THE SAME TIME WE WILL BE AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING THE RECENTLY UNDERTAKEN BATCH REPROCESSING OF ARCHIVAL CSS DATA SETS. DAILY SUBMISSIONS TO THE PLANETARY DATA SYSTEM ARE ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN IN FALL/WINTER 2017 FROM CSS FACILITIES COMMISSIONED IN 2016 AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA DATA CENTER. SIGNIFICANT RECENT IMPROVEMENTS TO THE NIGHTLY CSS PIPELINE WILL APPLY TO ARCHIVE DATA AS WELL. WE PROPOSE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS PROPORTIONATE TO THE INCREASED REAL TIME AND BATCH PROCESSING NEEDS, SUCH AS A HIGHER SPEED RADIO LINK BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINTOP TELESCOPES AND CAMPUS DATA CENTER, AS WELL AS SERVERS, STORAGE, AND STAFF NEEDED BY THE INCREASED CSS TELESCOPE OPERATIONS AND RESULTING AMPLIFIED CATALINA DATA OUTPUT.

WIDE BANDGAP GAN SEMICONDUCTOR HAS UNIQUE MATERIAL PROPERTIES THAT PROMISE HIGH POWER AND HIGH FREQUENCY ELECTRONICS SYSTEMS. COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL SI MATERIAL, GAN HAS MUCH LARGER BANDGAP AND LOWER INTRINSIC CARRIER DENSITY, WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR EFFICIENT ELECTRONIC DEVICES WORKING AT HIGH TEMPERATURES. COMPARED TO OTHER HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS SUCH AS SIC, GAN HAS MUCH HIGHER MOBILITY, WHICH WILL LEAD TO ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH MUCH HIGHER SPEED AND MICROSYSTEMS WITH HIGHER CLOCK FREQUENCY. IN THIS PROPOSAL, WE PLAN TO DEMONSTRATE A GAN-BASED MICROPROCESSOR THAT CAN WORK EFFICIENTLY UNDER HIGH TEMPERATURE (E.G.,&GT;500 C), WHICH IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND. FUNDAMENTAL STUDIES WILL BE PERFORMED ON THE HIGH TEMPERATURE PROPERTIES OF GAN DEVICES INCLUDING MATERIAL DEFECTS, ELECTRON TRANSPORTS, AND THERMAL STABILITIES, AND THEIR IMPACTS ON THE PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITIES OF GAN MICROPROCESSORS WILL BE DISCUSSED. AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IS PROPOSED WHICH INCLUDES MATERIAL GROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION, TCAD-BASED DEVICE/ PROCESS SIMULATIONS, MICROPROCESSOR CHIP FABRICATION, AND COMPREHENSIVE HIGH TEMPERATURE CHARACTERIZATIONS. THE REALIZATION OF THIS MICROPROCESSOR REPRESENTS A POTENTIALLY DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL ENABLE ELECTRONICS SYSTEM BASED ON WIDE BANDGAP GAN DEVICES WITH GREATER EFFICIENCY, MUCH REDUCED SIZE AND WEIGHT, AND HIGHER OPERATION TEMPERATURE, ALL OF WHICH ARE HIGHLY DESIRABLE FOR VARIOUS NASA AND SPACE APPLICATIONS.

Description

IN THE COMING DECADE, NEW ORBITAL AND GROUND TELESCOPES WILL BE ABLE TO DETECT ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITIONS OF TERRESTRIAL EXOPLANETS IN HABITABLE ZONES (HZ) OF THEIR STARS. ALTHOUGH COMPOSITIONS OF SURFACE ROCKS AND AQUEOUS PHASES MAY NOT BE OBSERVED IN FORESEEABLE FUTURE, ATMOSPHERIC GASES COULD CONSTRAIN HABITABLE PLANETARY ENVIRONMENTS IF GAS-SOLID-AQUEOUS LINKS ARE UNDERSTOOD. ON SOLID HZ EXOPLANETS, CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN GASES, SURFACE WATER AND ROCKS COULD AFFECT THE COMPOSITION OF VOLATILE-BEARING PLANETARY ENVELOPES. THE ATMOSPHERIC CO2 ABUNDANCE IS SET BY A BALANCE BETWEEN SINKS AND A SUPPLY THROUGH DEGASSING. SINKS OF CO2 TO LIQUID AND SOLID PHASES ARE AFFECTED BY DISSOLUTION IN WATERS AND PRECIPITATION OF CARBONATES AND/OR CLATHRATES, WHICH ARE INFLUENCED BY THE TEMPERATURE, COMPOSITION AND ACIDITY (PH) OF SOLUTIONS. IN TURN, CHEMISTRY OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS IS MAINLY AFFECTED BY THE COMPOSITION OF ALTERING ROCKS AND DISSOLUTION OF ATMOSPHERIC GASES. THE APPARENT DIVERSITY OF STAR COMPOSITIONS TOGETHER WITH COMPLEX SCENARIOS OF PLANET FORMATION AND EVOLUTION IMPLY A WIDE RANGE OF ROCK COMPOSITIONS. THESE COUPLED INFLUENCES COULD BE QUANTIFIED BY METHODS OF EQUILIBRIUM CHEMICAL THERMODYNAMICS CONSTRAINED BY FUNDAMENTAL CONSTANTS AND MASS BALANCES IN GAS-WATER-SOLID SYSTEMS ON HZ EXOPLANETS. THIS STUDY IS AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING EFFECTS OF ROCK COMPOSITION AND WATER/CO2/ROCK RATIOS ON AQUEOUS ACID-BASE CHEMISTRY, SECONDARY MINERALOGY AND ABUNDANCE OF ATMOSPHERIC CO2 ON HZ EXOPLANETS. WE WILL CONSIDER WATER/CO2/ROCK INTERACTIONS ON WATERPOOR (DESERT) AND WATER-RICH (OCEAN) EXOPLANETS. WE WILL MODEL WATER-GAS-ROCK TYPE CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS AT SPECIFIED WATER/CO2/ ROCK RATIOS THROUGH CALCULATIONS OF CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIA IN CLOSED SYSTEMS AND SYSTEMS OPEN WITH RESPECT TO CO2. WE WILL CALCULATE ATMOSPHERIC CONCENTRATIONS OF CO2 AND LINK COMPOSITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ROCKS WITH BUFFERING CAPACITIES OF ROCKS WITH RESPECT TO CO2. ROCK WILL BE PRESENTED BY REPRESENTATIVE TERRESTRIAL ROCKS AND COMPOSITIONS EVALUATED FROM COMPOSITIONS OF STARS. THE WATER/ ROCK RATIO WILL BE CHOSEN TO REFLECT THE OCEANIC DEPTH AND PERMEABILITY OF ROCKS. THE RESULTS WILL BE DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF OBSERVABLE ATMOSPHERIC CO2 LINKED TO CHEMISTRY, MINERALOGY AND HABITABILITY OF AQUEOUS SYSTEMS. SIGNIFICANCE. THIS PROPOSAL LINKS AQUEOUS PROCESSES ON EXOPLANETS WITH QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENTS OF HABITABILITY RELATED TO CO2 AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY OF GAS-WATER-ROCK SYSTEMS IN THE VICINITY OF EXOPLANETARY SURFACES. THE WORK WILL EXPLORE HOW THE COMPOSITION OF ROCKS ON DIVERSE EXOPLANETS AND ROCK/CO2/WATER RATIOS AFFECT THE INORGANIC CHEMISTRY OF AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENTS. THE WORK IS RELEVANT TO THE HABITABLE WORDS PROGRAM BECAUSE IT DEALS WITH POTENTIALLY HABITABLE EXOPLANETS AND CONSIDERS WATER PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY AS THEY RELATE TO HABITABILITY.

OBJECTIVES AND SIGNIFICANCE THE GOAL OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ORIGIN OF VARIABILITY IN D H RATIOS AND REDOX WITHIN AND AMONG THE MARTIAN METEORITES. IN PARTICULAR, WE WILL EVALUATE THE EFFECTS OF TWO PROCESSES 1 LOSS OF HYDROGEN FROM INITIALLY HYDROUS MARTIAN MAGMAS, AND 2 FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION OF MARTIAN MAGMAS. FOR PHASE I OF THE PROPOSED WORK, WE WILL MEASURE D H RATIOS, WATER ABUNDANCES, FE 3FE, AS WELL AS TRACE AND MINOR ELEMENT ABUNDANCES IN TWO TYPES OF SELECTED, WELL CHARACTERIZED TERRESTRIAL ANALOG MATERIALS A SERIES OF KAERSUTITE AMPHIBOLE AND AUGITE MEGACRYSTS OF MANTLE ORIGIN AS WELL AS SAMPLES OF ICELANDIC BASALTS FROM FLOWS AND LAVA SHIELDS TO ESTABLISH BASELINE ESTIMATES OF THE EFFECTS OF HYDROGEN LOSS AS WELL AS FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION ON THESE PARAMETERS. FOR THE ICELANDIC BASALTS, WE WILL EXAMINE THE CHANGES IN THESE PARAMETERS ON THE MINERAL AND BULK ROCK SCALES WITH TEXTURE, GRAIN SIZE, AND THE INFERRED DEGASSING AND COOLING HISTORY. FOR THE AMPHIBOLE AND AUGITE MEGACRYSTS, WE WILL PERFORM DETAILED IN SITU ANALYSES ON POLISHED THIN SECTIONS OF WHOLE CRYSTALS AND SUBDOMAINS ISOLATED FROM THEM BY MICRODRILLING. USING THE ELECTRON MICROPROBE, SIMS NANOSIMS AND SYNCHROTRON MICROXANES IN TANDEM, WE WILL EXAMINE THE SPATIAL CORRELATIONS BETWEEN D H RATIOS, WATER ABUNDANCES, FE3 FE, AS WELL AS TRACE AND MINOR ELEMENT ABUNDANCES, AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF THESE PARAMETERS TO CRYSTAL BOUNDARIES. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO INVESTIGATE THE MICRO DOMAIN STRUCTURE OF AND POTENTIAL CORRELATIONS BETWEEN CHEMICAL ZONATION RESULTING FROM FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION, D H ENRICHMENT, HYDROGEN LOSS, AND OXIDATION FOR ASSESSING THE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE MICROANALYSIS OF MARTIAN METEORITES. FOR PHASE II OF THE PROPOSED WORK, WE WILL PERFORM SIMILARLY DETAILED MEASUREMENTS OF D H RATIOS, WATER ABUNDANCES, FE FE, AS WELL AS TRACE AND MINOR ELEMENT ABUNDANCES IN MINERALS FROM SELECTED MARTIAN METEORITES, APPLYING THE RESULTS OF ANALYSES OF THE TERRESTRIAL ANALOG SAMPLES TO SELECT ANALYTICAL APPROACHES THAT WILL MAXIMIZE THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE ROLES OF HYDROGEN LOSS AND FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION IN CAUSING VARIATIONS IN D H RATIOS AND REDOX CONDITIONS. SPECIFICALLY, USING SIMS NANOSIMS AND SYNCHROTRON MICROXANES IN TANDEM, WE WILL SEARCH FOR CORRELATED VARIATIONS IN D H RATIOS, H2O CONTENTS, AND FE FE IN CHEMICALLY ZONED PYROXENES, AS WELL AS IN MAGMATIC MELT INCLUSIONS INCLUDING IN DAUGHTER AMPHIBOLES IN SOME OF THESE INCLUSIONS THAT MAY INDICATE EFFECTS OF HYDROGEN LOSS AND FRACTIONAL CRYSTALLIZATION. THESE INVESTIGATIONS WILL ADVANCE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE ORIGIN OF REDOX HETEROGENEITY WITHIN AND AMONG THE MARTIAN METEORITES AND FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE VARIABILITY OF D H IN HYDROUS AND NOMINALLY ANHYDROUS PHASES IN THESE SAMPLES. ULTIMATELY, THE RESULTS OF THE PROPOSED WORK WILL SHED LIGHT ON THE ORIGIN OF WATER IN MARTIAN MAGMAS, AS WELL AS THE REDOX EVOLUTION AND D H RATIO OF THE MARTIAN MANTLE, CRUST AND HYDROSPHERE. TECHNICAL APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY FOR DOCUMENTATION AND CHARACTERIZATION, AN ELECTRON MICROPROBE IS AVAILABLE AT ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY ASU. IN SITU ANALYSES OF TRACE ELEMENTS, D H RATIOS AND H2O CONTENTS, WILL BE CONDUCTED USING CAMECA IMS 6F AND NANOSIMS 50L INSTRUMENTS AT ASU. BULK ANALYSES OF D H AND H2O CONTENT WILL BE PERFORMED VIA STABLE ISOTOPE MASS SPECTROMETRY AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, LONG BEACH CSULB. MICROANALYSES OF FE FE WILL BE CONDUCTED AT THE ADVANCED PHOTON SOURCE SYNCHROTRON X RAY MICROPROBE AT ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY ANL. RELEVANCE OF PROPOSED RESEARCH THE PROPOSED WORK WILL LEAD TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES THAT AFFECT THE SURFACES INTERIORS OF PLANETARY BODIES SPECIFICALLY MARS THROUGH SAMPLE BASED STUDIES OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL MATERIALS AND IS, THEREFORE, DIRECTLY PERTINENT TO THE GOALS OF NASAS SOLAR SYSTEM WORKINGS PROGRAM PER NRA NNH15ZDA001N SSW.

THE DISCOVERY OF EXOPLANETS HAS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOPHISTICATED MODELS BY NUMEROUS GROUPS FOR THEIR LOWER AND UPPER ATMOSPHERES HOWEVER, MIDDLE ATMOSPHERES HAVE RECEIVED SCANT ATTENTION DESPITE THEIR IMPORTANCE TO ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY, ESCAPE, AND EVOLUTION AND TO THE INTERPRETATION OF EXOPLANET OBSERVATIONS. AS ON SOLAR SYSTEM PLANETS, WE EXPECT THE THERMAL STRUCTURE OF MIDDLE ATMOSPHERES OF EXOPLANETS TO BE DOMINATED BY RADIATIVE BALANCE HOWEVER, RADIATIVE TRANSFER IN THE MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE IS COMPLICATED BY THE BREAKDOWN OF LTE, WHICH AFFECTS BOTH THE THERMAL COOLING RATES AND THE THERMALIZATION OF ABSORBED STELLAR RADIATION. MOREOVER, THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE ARE INCREASINGLY AFFECTED BY THERMAL CONDUCTION OF ENERGY DOWNWARD FROM THE HOT UPPER ATMOSPHERE. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP MODELS FOR THE ENERGY BALANCE IN EXOPLANET MIDDLE ATMOSPHERES THAT PROPERLY INCORPORATE NON-LTE POPULATIONS OF MOLECULAR ENERGY LEVELS. THE CALCULATED TEMPERATURE PROFILES WILL BE CONSTRAINED BY EXOPLANET TRANSIT OBSERVATIONS, PARTICULARLY OF THE STRONG ALKALI LINES THAT PROBE THE MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE AND ARE SENSITIVE TO THE TEMPERATURE PROFILE. THE EFFECT OF THE TEMPERATURE PROFILES ON PHOTOCHEMISTRY, WHICH OCCURS PRIMARILY IN THE MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE, WILL BE INVESTIGATED. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE THERMAL STRUCTURE FOR ATMOSPHERIC ESCAPE, THROUGH DISSOCIATION OF H2 AND OTHER MOLECULES IN THE MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE, WILL BE DETERMINED AS WELL AS THE IMPACT ON THE PRODUCTION OF HAZES AND HIGH ALTITUDE CLOUDS.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS RESEARCH ARE TO UNDERSTAND THE CHEMICAL OR PHOTOCHEMICAL MECHANISM BY WHICH SULFUR ISOTOPE MASS-INDEPENDENT FRACTIONATION (S-MIF) SIGNATURES WERE CREATED IN THE ANCIENT EARTH ATMOSPHERE. THE RECORD OF S-MIF SIGNATURES IN ARCHEAN ROCKS IS OUR BEST PROXY FOR THE RISE OF O2 ABOUT 2.4 GYR AGO. SINCE THE DISCOVERY OF S-MIF SIGNATURES IN ANCIENT ROCKS IN 2000, MOST RESEARCH INTO THE S-MIF MECHANISM HAS FOCUSED ON SO2 PHOTOLYSIS. IT IS BECOMING APPARENT THAT SO2 IS PROBABLY NOT THE ORIGIN OF S-MIF. HERE, WE PROPOSE EXPERIMENTS TO STUDY PHOTOCHEMICAL FRACTIONATION IN OTHER SMALL SULFUR MOLECULES LIKELY TO HAVE BEEN PRESENT IN A PREOXYGENATED EARTH ATMOSPHERE, INCLUDING SO, S, S2, AND S4. THESE SULFUR SPECIES ARE NOT RELEVANT TO THE MODERN EARTH ATMOSPHERE, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE PRESENT IN THE MODERN VENUS ATMOSPHERE. WE ARE MEASURING CROSS SECTIONS AND REACTION PRODUCTS FOR THE SULFUR ISOTOPOLOGUES OF THESE MOLECULES IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY POSSIBLE S-MIF PROCESSES. WE USE SEVERAL TECHNIQUES TO ANALYZE SO, S, S2, AND S4. WE WILL MEASURE SO AND S2 ISOTOPIC ABSORPTION CROSS SECTIONS USING THE SOLEIL SYNCHROTRON IN FRANCE. THIS SYNCHROTRON HAS THE BEST UV FOURIER TRANSFORM SPECTROMETER AVAILABLE TODAY FOR PHOTON WAVELENGTHS&LT;300 NM. WE GENERATE SO AND S2 BY RF DISCHARGE IN SO2 AND H2S, RESPECTIVELY, AND THEN WE MEASURE THE UV ABSORPTION SPECTRUM IN THE SO AND S2. WE WILL ALSO USE UV PHOTOFRAGMENT INSTRUMENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, DAVIS (UCD) TO MEASURE ISOTOPE FRACTIONATION IN S ATOMS PRODUCED FROM SO PHOTODISSOCIATION. VELOCITY-MAP IMAGING IN A TIME-OF-FLIGHT MASS SPECTROMETER WILL BE USED TO ELUCIDATE THE EXACT STATE PARAMETERS FOR THE PRODUCT S ATOMS, ALLOWING US TO FULLY CHARACTERIZE THE ABUNDANCES OF ISOTOPIC S ATOMS PRODUCED DURING PHOTOLYSIS OF SO, A PROCESS THAT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IN THE ANCIENT ATMOSPHERE. FINALLY, WE WILL USE A HEATED QUARTZ FLOW TUBE TO STUDY THE ISOTOPIC PROPERTIES OF S2 SELF-REACTION TO FORM S4. THE PRODUCTS WILL BE IONIZED BY LASERS AND COUNTED BY TIMEOF- FLIGHT MASS SPECTROMETRY. PHOTOCHEMICAL MODELS WILL BE USED TO SYNTHESIZE THESE LABORATORY RESULTS INTO EXISTING EARLY EARTH MODEL ATMOSPHERES. THE PROPOSED WORK LIES WITHIN THE RESEARCH AREA "EARLY EVOLUTION OF LIFE AND THE BIOSPHERE" IN THE EXOBIOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY PROGRAM. THE RISE OF ATMOSPHERIC O2 WAS A MAJOR EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF LIFE AND ENVIRONMENTS ON EARTH. OUR RESEARCH WILL HELP TO ELUCIDATE THE OPERATION OF THE ANCIENT SULFUR CYCLE, AND PROVIDE A FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING EXACTLY HOW S-MIF SIGNATURES CONSTRAINT ATMOSPHERIC O2 ABUNDANCE.

Description

MODERN ERA RETROSPECTIVE-ANALYSIS FOR RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS (MERRA) IS A NASA REANALYSIS DEVELOPED UNDER THE MAP PROGRAM, AND IT REPRESENTS AN IMPORTANT GSFC/GMAO CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS THE INTERNATIONAL REANALYSIS EFFORTS. MERRA OFFERS BOTH HOURLY TWO-DIMENSIONAL FIELDS AND 3-HOURLY THREE-DIMENSIONAL ATMOSPHERIC VARIABLES AND THEIR TENDENCIES. IT ALSO INCLUDES THE INCREMENTAL ANALYSIS UPDATE, THE `REPLAY' CAPABILITY, THE OBSERVATIONS ASSIMILATED AND THE ASSOCIATED FORECAST ERROR AND ANALYSIS ERROR. OUR CURRENT MAP PROJECT HAS YIELDED 11 PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS, 3 SUBMITTED MANUSCRIPTS, SEVERAL MANUSCRIPTS IN PREPARATION, 8 INVITED AND 13 CONTRIBUTED PRESENTATIONS (FROM JULY 2009 TO MAY 2012). BUILDING ON THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND USING THE UNIQUE CAPABILITIES OF MERRA (INCLUDING ITS LAND-ONLY REPROCESSING AND UPDATED SHORT-TERM REANALYSIS), OUR OVERALL GOAL IS TO IMPROVE THE UNDERSTANDING AND PARAMETERIZATION OF LAND-ATMOSPHERE-OCEAN INTERFACE PROCESSES BY INTEGRATING THE MERRA REANALYSIS WITH SATELLITE, SURFACE, AND AIRCRAFT DATA. FOUR RESEARCH QUESTIONS WILL BE ADDRESSED: (A) HOW REALISTIC IS THE TERRESTRIAL ENERGY AND HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE OF THE MERRA? (B) HOW DO THE NEAR-SURFACE ATMOSPHERIC FIELDS AFFECT GLOBAL ENERGY AND WATER CYCLE, DYNAMIC VEGETATION AND CARBON CYCLE? (C) WHAT IS THE DIURNAL CYCLE OF SUMMERTIME LAND-ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER-CONVECTION COUPLING? AND (D) WHAT ARE THE DIURNAL AND SEASONAL CYCLES OF THE OCEAN SURFACE-STRATOCUMULUS INTERACTIONS? SIX SPECIFIC TASKS WILL BE CARRIED OUT: (1) MEASUREMENTS OF NEAR-SURFACE ATMOSPHERIC FIELDS AND LAND SURFACE FLUXES WILL BE COMBINED WITH SOIL MOISTURE, STREMFLOW, AND SNOW MEASUREMENTS TO EVALUATE VARIOUS REANALYSIS PRODUCTS (2) MERRA AND GEOS5 LAND SURFACE SKIN TEMPERATURE WILL BE EVALUATED AND IMPROVED (3) GLOBAL HOURLY NEAR-SURFACE ATMOSPHERIC FIELDS WILL BE DEVELOPED BY ADJUSTING REANALYSIS PRODUCTS WITH IN SITU AND SATELLITE MEASUREMENTS (4) THEIR IMPACT ON LAND SURFACE ENERGY, WATER, AND CARBON CYCLE AND DYNAMIC VEGETATION WILL BE ASSESSED (5) LAND-ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER-CONVECTION INTERACTION OVER THE U.S. GREAT PLAINS IN SUMMER WILL BE EVALUATED AND (6) MARINE STRATOCUMULUS-AEROSOLS-RADIATION-PRECIPITATION INTERACTION WILL ALSO BE STUDIED. FOR THE LAST TWO TASKS, DETAILED BUDGET ANALYSIS WILL BE EMPHASIZED. THE PROPOSED WORK WILL DIRECTLY ADDRESS TWO NASA EARTH SCIENCE KEY QUESTIONS: HOW IS THE EARTH SYSTEM CHANGING? AND WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF CHANGE IN THE EARTH SYSTEM AND THEIR MAGNITUDES AND TRENDS? OUR INVESTIGATIONS USING MERRA DATA REPRESENT ONE OF THE SPECIFIC THEMES OF THE MAP SOLICITATION. OUR EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE GEOS5 MODEL (AS USED IN MERRA) WILL DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE MISSION OF GMAO - A CORE MAP PROJECT. OUR USE OF SATELLITE, SURFACE, AND AIRCRAFT DATA IS ALSO EMPHASIZED BY THE MAP PROGRAM. THE PLANNED GMAO VISIT OF THE PI AND STUDENTS WILL ACCELERATE THE TRANSITION OF OUR RESEARCH RESULTS (INCLUDING MODEL IMPROVEMENTS) TO MERRA AND GEOS5.

REFRACTORY DUST IS AMONG THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. ITS MICROSTRUCTURE, ATOMIC STRUCTURE, AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION CONTAIN CLUES TO THE DUST-CONDENSATION CONDITIONS OF OUR SOLAR NEBULA AND ANCIENT CIRCUMSTELLAR ENVIRONMENTS. HERE WE PROPOSE MEASUREMENTS FROM THE MICROMETER SCALE TO THE ATOMIC LEVEL, SUPPORTED BY A COMPUTATIONAL EFFORT, AIMED AT UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGINS AND THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTS OF THE FIRST NEBULAR SOLIDS AND ANCIENT CIRCUMSTELLAR DUST. OUR PROPOSED WORK BUILDS ON ADVANCES AND PRODUCTIVITY FROM OUR PREVIOUS EFFORT AND IS CRAFTED AROUND OUR NEW CAPABILITIES IN STATE-OF-THE-ART MICROSCOPY AND COMPUTATIONAL MATERIALS SCIENCE. OUR PROPOSED EFFORT IS DIVIDED INTO THREE DISTINCT BUT RELATED TASKS THAT EXAMINE METEORITIC COMPONENTS WHICH DEVIATE FROM ESTABLISHED EQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMIC PREDICTIONS. CALCIUM-ALUMINUM-RICH INCLUSIONS (CAIS) IN METEORITES ARE THE OLDEST SOLAR SYSTEM SOLIDS AND ARE BELIEVED TO HAVE FORMED WITHIN THE INNER SOLAR PROTOPLANETARY DISK. WE HAVE IDENTIFIED MINERAL ASSEMBLAGES WITHIN CAIS THAT ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH LONG-STANDING EQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMIC PREDICTIONS. IN TASK 1, WE PROPOSE DETAILED STUDY OF THESE ASSEMBLAGES, AT SCALES RANGING FROM THE MICROMETER TO THE ATOMIC TO UNDERSTAND THEIR THERMODYNAMIC ORIGINS. CIRCUMSTELLAR (PRESOLAR) GRAINS WERE DISCOVERED IN METEORITES JUST OVER 30 YEARS AGO, AND SINCE THEN, MANY TYPES OF GRAINS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED. THEIR STRUCTURES AND COMPOSITIONS HOLD IMPORTANT CLUES TO THE NUCLEOSYNTHETIC AND THERMODYNAMIC PROCESSES THAT OCCURRED IN AND AROUND THEIR PARENT STARS. IN TASK 2, WE PROPOSE TO EXAMINE THE ORIGINS AND CONDENSATION CONDITIONS OF GRAINS THAT APPEAR TO DEVIATE FROM ESTABLISHED THERMODYNAMIC PREDICTIONS, PARTICULARLY SIO2 GRAINS, FE-RICH SILICATES, AND FE-BEARING OXIDES. WE WILL PROBE SUCH MATERIALS DOWN TO THE ATOMIC LEVEL TO DETERMINE WHETHER CONDENSATION OCCURRED VIA EQUILIBRIUM PROCESSES IN CIRCUMSTELLAR ENVELOPES. IN TASK 3, WE PROPOSE TO PERFORM THERMODYNAMIC MODELING, INFORMED BY QUANTUM-CHEMICAL CALCULATIONS, TO DETERMINE THERMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS FOR SOLID SOLUTIONS RELEVANT TO IDENTIFIED CAI AND PRESOLAR-GRAIN PHASES. MICROSTRUCTURES THAT ARE INCONSISTENT WITH ESTABLISHED PREDICTIONS, WHETHER FOR THE EARLY SOLAR NEBULA (TASK 1) OR CIRCUMSTELLAR ENVIRONMENTS (TASK 2), RAISE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS AS TO WHETHER AVAILABLE THERMODYNAMIC DESCRIPTIONS ARE INCOMPLETE, THE PRESUMPTION OF EQUILIBRIUM IS WRONG, OR SOME COMBINATION OF THE TWO. WE WILL USE THE RESULTS OF THESE CALCULATIONS TO DETERMINE THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH SUCH MATERIALS CONDENSED AND HENCE THE PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS, I.E., THERMODYNAMIC LANDSCAPES, OF THE INNER SOLAR PROTOPLANETARY DISK AND CIRCUMSTELLAR ENVIRONMENTS. WE WILL PLACE THESE RESULTS INTO THE CONTEXT OF DYNAMICAL MODELS OF THE TRANSPORT AND EVOLUTION OF PROTOPLANETARY AND CIRCUMSTELLAR DUST.

Description

THIS PROPOSAL IS IN RESPONSE TO THE NASA ROSES 2018 A.19 SOLICITATION (NNH18ZDA001N-ACMAP). IN PARTICULAR, WE PROPOSE TO USE REMOTE SENSING DATA PRODUCTS FOR ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION TO DEMONSTRATE SYNERGIES BETWEEN AQ AND GHG MEGACITY-SCALE EMISSIONS MONITORING. QUANTIFYING THE ANTHROPOGENIC SOURCES OF CO2 AND CH4 IS IMPERATIVE YET CHALLENGING. HERE, WE PROPOSE A 3-YEAR PROGRAM OF RESEARCH TO DEVELOP, IMPLEMENT, AND IMPROVE A MULTI-SPECIES DATA ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK FOR ENHANCING GHG SIGNATURES FROM ANTHROPOGENIC ACTIVITIES THROUGH THE SYNERGISTIC USE OF SATELLITE-DERIVED MEASUREMENTS OF COMBUSTION-RELATED TRACE GASES (AQ: CO AND NO2, GHG: CO2 AND CH4) AND GLOBAL CHEMISTRY TRANSPORT MODELING, VALIDATED WITH GROUND-BASED AND AIRBORNE MEASUREMENTS FROM NASA FIELD CAMPAIGNS AND AQ/GHG GROUND STATION NETWORK. THE PROGRAM THAT WE PROPOSE IS A DIRECT EXTENSION OF OUR PAST AND CURRENT NASA ACMAP RESEARCH ACTIVITIES WHICH MAINLY FOCUS ON PROOF-OF-CONCEPT STUDIES ON THE SYNERGIES OF AQ AND GHG EMISSION ESTIMATION. FOR THIS PROPOSED WORK, WE ARE MOVING PAST THESE PROOF-OF-CONCEPTS TO QUANTIFYING THESE SYNERGIES. WE INTEND TO EXPLORE INTEGRATED DATA AND MODELING ANALYSIS APPROACHES IN USING CURRENT NASA OBSERVATIONAL CAPABILITIES, TRADITIONALLY USED BY AIR QUALITY (AQ) COMMUNITY, IN AUGMENTING CURRENT OBSERVATIONAL PROGRAMS ON CO2 AND CH4 EMISSIONS MONITORING. FIRST, WE WILL CONDUCT AN EVALUATION OF MODELED ABUNDANCE OF CO, NO2, CO2, AND CH4 FROM NCAR/CAM-CHEM FULL CHEMISTRY ENSEMBLE OF SIMULATIONS USING POSTERIOR FLUX ESTIMATES FROM LEADING INVERSE MODELING/DATA ASSIMILATION GROUPS (CARBON TRACKER AND CAMS FOR CO2 AND CH4, JAMSTEC REANALYSIS FOR CO AND NO2). WE WILL USE SATELLITE RETRIEVALS FROM OCO-2 (CO2), GOSAT (CO2 AND CH4), MOPITT (CO), OMI (NO2), TROPOMI (NO2, CO, CH4), AND IASI (CO, CO2, CH4), AIRCRAFT MEASUREMENTS FROM NASA KORUS-AQ (CO, NO2, CO2, CH4), DISCOVER-AQ (CO, NO2, CO2, CH4), ACT-AMERICA (CO, CO2, CH4), AND ATOM (CO, NO2, CO2, CH4), AS WELL AS GROUND PROFILE MEASUREMENTS FROM NOAA WDCGG STATION NETWORK (CO, CO2, CH4), COLUMN MEASUREMENTS FROM TCCON (CO, CO2, CH4) AND SURFACE AQ MEASUREMENTS (CO, NO2) FROM GROUND NETWORKS LIKE USEPA. SECOND, WE WILL TAG IN CAM-CHEM THE ANTHROPOGENIC EMISSIONS OF CO, CO2 AND CH4 FROM TOP MEGACITIES OF THE WORLD ACROSS THE RECENT DECADE (2005-2018) IN ORDER TO TRACK COMBUSTION RELATED PLUMES AND EVALUATE ASSOCIATED CHEMICAL RATIOS OF THESE SPECIES. THIRD, WE WILL CONDUCT AN ENSEMBLE OF JOINT BAYESIAN SYNTHESIS INVERSIONS (CO, CO2, AND/OR CH4) FOR THESE MEGACITIES ACROSS THE STUDY PERIOD USING SATELLITE RETRIEVALS. THE MAIN RATIONALE BEHIND THIS PROJECT IS ANCHORED UPON THE UTILITY OF NO2 DATA TO IDENTIFY COMBUSTION ACTIVITY (FOR CO2) AND CO TO TRACK CORRESPONDING PLUMES AND TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY (DCO/DCO2). THESE COMBUSTION-RELATED AQ (CO AND NO2) AND GHG (CH4) GASES ARE STRONGLY COUPLED CHEMICALLY VIA OH (I.E., CO IS A SINK OF OH WHILE NO2 IS A SOURCE OF OH WITHIN THE TROPOSPHERIC O3 CHEMISTRY). THIS PROJECT WILL DEMONSTRATE HOW THESE TYPES OF INFORMATION CAN BE TRANSLATED TO IMPROVING PREDICTIVE CAPABILITY OF ANTHROPOGENIC CO2 AND CH4 DISTRIBUTION, AS WELL AS TO IMPROVING EMISSION MONITORING AT MEGACITY AND DECADAL SCALE, GIVEN THAT THESE SPECIES ARE EITHER CO-EMITTED DURING COMBUSTION (CONSTRAINTS ON CO2 SOURCES), OR COUPLED (CONSTRAINTS ON CH4 SINKS). THIS PROJECT PRESENTS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE ON THE STRENGTHS OF NASA OBSERVATIONAL CAPABILITIES TOWARDS ADDRESSING A CRITICAL GAP (YET AN EMERGING CONCERN) IN QUANTIFYING CHANGES IN CLIMATE-AND-AQ-RELEVANT ANTHROPOGENIC CO2 AND CH4 AS WELL AS PROVIDING INSIGHTS TO FUTURE INTEGRATED/CONSTELLATION OF SATELLITE MISSIONS FOR ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION.

Description

MOTIVATION: A CHALLENGE FOR EXOBIOLOGY IS TO EXPLAIN THE EVOLUTION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS, A COMPLEX PATHWAY REQUIRING SEVERAL COOPERATIVE ENZYMES AND THE SYNTHESIS AND USE OF MULTIPLE COFACTORS. ANOXYGENIC PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN PARTICULAR IS IMPORTANT FOR THE EARLY ANOXIC EARTH AND FOR EXOPLANETS, WHERE ANOXIA MIGHT BE QUITE COMMON. IF THE EVOLUTION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS VIA A FEW 'RELATIVELY EASY' STEPS IS POSSIBLE, WE MIGHT EXPECT TO FIND MANY WORLDS WITH PHOTOSYNTHETIC LIFE, WHETHER OR NOT OXYGENIC PHOTOSYNTHESIS EVER EMERGED. OTHERWISE, WE MIGHT EXPECT PHOTOSYNTHESIS TO BE RARE IN THE UNIVERSE. WE PROPOSE THAT A PLAUSIBLE EVOLUTIONARY INTERMEDIATE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF (ANOXYGENIC) PHOTOSYNTHESIS WAS A CHEMOLITHOTROPHIC BACTERIUM THAT EXTRACTED ENERGY FROM ENVIRONMENTAL REDOX GRADIENTS. ONE WAY TO EXTRACT MORE ENERGY FROM A REDOX GRADIENT IS TO INSERT A PHOTOSYNTHETIC REACTION CENTER (RC) INTO THE ELECTRON TRANSPORT PATHWAY. THIS GIVES A CHEMOLITHOTROPH A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, ALLOWING IT TO USE LESS-REDUCING DONORS AND/OR LESS-OXIDIZING ACCEPTORS. A SHALLOW GRADIENT OR EVEN AN UPHILL ELECTRON TRANSFER COULD BE PROFITABLE TO AN ORGANISM USING LIGHT TO GENERATE A STEEPER GRADIENT, THUS PUMPING MORE PROTONS PER ELECTRON TRANSPORTED, AND MAKING MORE ATP. IN THIS VIEW, THE REACTION CENTER ALLOWS THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHT-ASSISTED LITHOTROPHY, I.E., PHOTO/ CHEMOLITHOTROPHY. OBJECTIVES: THERE ARE NO KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE PHOTO/CHEMOLITHOTROPH WE INVOKE IN THIS EVOLUTIONARY TRAJECTORY. WE PROPOSE TO TEST THIS IDEA BY CREATING SUCH ORGANISMS. WE WILL USE THE PRIMITIVE PHOTOTROPH, HELIOBACTERIUM MODESTICALDUM, AS OUR STARTING POINT, BECAUSE IT IS EXPERIMENTALLY MUCH EASIER TO TRANSFER A FEW GENES REQUIRED TO CONFER LITHOTROPHY RATHER THAN THE MANY GENES REQUIRED FOR PHOTOTROPHY. WE HAVE DEVELOPED GENETIC TOOLS TO EDIT THE H. MODESTICALDUM CHROMOSOME USING ITS ENDOGENOUS DNA MODIFICATION SYSTEMS THIS ALLOWS US TO REMOVE AND ADD GENES AT WILL. WE PROPOSE TO BREAK THE EXISTING CYCLIC ELECTRON FLOW PATHWAY BY REMOVING A SPECIFIC ENZYME (NADH DEHYDROGENASE) AND ADDING A SULFIDE:QUINONE OXIDOREDUCTASE (SQR) TO ALLOW IT OXIDIZE SULFIDE TO SULFUR. THE ORGANISM CAN ALREADY REDUCE PROTONS TO MOLECULAR HYDROGEN (H2). THEREFORE, IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO OXIDIZE (EXTERNAL) SULFIDE AND REDUCE (INTERNAL) PROTONS, AIDED BY LIGHT, AND IN THE PROCESS CREATE A PROTON ELECTROCHEMICAL GRADIENT FOR ATP SYNTHESIS THUS, EXTRACTING ENERGY FROM A REDOX GRADIENT THAT IS ENERGETICALLY UNFAVORABLE. WE WILL TEST THE GROWTH OF THE ENGINEERED ORGANISMS UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS AND QUANTIFY THEIR ABILITY TO (1) USE SULFIDE (S-2) AS ELECTRON DONOR, (2) REDUCE PROTONS TO H2, (3) EXTRACT ENERGY IN THE PROCESS, AND (4) FIX CO2. WE WILL ALSO TEST THE IDEA THAT AUTOTROPHY CAN BE CONFERRED BY ADDING ATP-CITRATE LYASE, WHICH IS THE ONLY ENZYME MISSING FROM THE REVERSE TCA CYCLE IN H. MODESTICALDUM. WE CAN MAKE SEVERAL COMBINATIONS OF THESE GENETIC MODIFICATIONS IN ORDER TO CONSTRUCT MULTIPLE POSSIBLE EVOLUTIONARY INTERMEDIATES. LASTLY, WE WILL ASSESS THE ISOTOPE SIGNATURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEW SULFIDE OXIDATION, PROTON REDUCTION, AND CO2 FIXATION PATHWAYS AND COMPARE THEM WITH KNOWN METABOLIC FRACTIONATIONS AND WITH THE GEOLOGIC RECORDS. SIGNIFICANCE: THIS WORK IS RELEVANT FOR NASA EXOBIOLOGY BECAUSE IT DIRECTLY INVESTIGATES TWO RESEARCH TOPICS IN THE 2015 ASTROBIOLOGY STRATEGY: EARLY LIFE AND INCREASING COMPLEXITY AND CO-EVOLUTION OF LIFE AND THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT. SPECIFICALLY, WE WILL EXPERIMENTALLY EXPLORE THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF A KEY METABOLIC STRATEGY, ANOXYGENIC PHOTOTROPHY, IN THE CONTEXT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REDOX GRADIENTS. OUR RESULTS WILL PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE POTENTIAL BIOSIGNATURES OF THE METABOLIC STRATEGIES WE EXPLORE IN THE ENGINEERED H. MODESTICALDUM STRAINS. THE RESULTS WILL HAVE IMPLICATIONS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE EVOLUTION OF LIFE ON THE EARLY EARTH AND FOR THE DIVERSITY OF BIOSIGNATURES THAT MIGHT RESULT FROM NOVEL METABOLISMS.

OBJECTIVES/METHODS: COLOR IMAGE AND BAND-RATIO COMPOSITE PRODUCTS OF ASTEROIDS HAVE BEEN USED TO UNDERSTAND SURFACE COMPOSITION, REGOLITH GRAIN SIZE, AND SPACE WEATHERING EFFECTS. DESPITE THE SCIENTIFIC VALUE OF COLOR COMPOSITE PRODUCTS, VERY FEW HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO THE PLANETARY DATA SYSTEM (PDS) FOR NEAR MSI DATA FROM EROS. OF THOSE AVAILABLE ON THE PDS SMALL BODIES NODE, NONE PROVIDE GLOBAL COVERAGE. IN PART, THIS IS DUE TO THE CHALLENGING NATURE OF THE NEAR MSI DATASET, WHICH EXPERIENCED A WAVELENGTH-DEPENDENT DEGRADATION OF THE SYSTEM POINT SPREAD FUNCTION DUE TO HYDRAZINE CONTAMINATION ON THE OPTICS OF THE IMAGER. TO COMPLETE THE SET OF SPATIALLY AND RADIOMETRICALLY REMEDIATED MSI IMAGES, WE WILL IMPLEMENT UPDATED REMEDIATION TECHNIQUES TO RECOVER THE GEOMETRIC AND RADIOMETRIC ACCURACY OF MSI IMAGES IN THE 450, 550, AND 1050 NM FILTERS (WHICH EXPERIENCED THE MOST DEGRADATION DUE TO CONTAMINATION) AND COORDINATE WITH THE PDS IMAGING NODE TO ARCHIVE THESE DATA. USING THESE REMEDIATED DATA, WE WILL DEVELOP GLOBALLY CONTROLLED MOSAICS FOR EACH MSI FILTER, FROM 450-1050 NM, AND DELIVER THESE DATA TO THE PDS ARCHIVE. TO GENERATE THESE MOSAICS, INPUT IMAGES WILL BE PROJECTED TO THE&GT;3 MILLION FACET GASKELL (2008) SHAPE MODEL OF EROS AND PHOTOMETRICALLY CORRECTED. CREATING THESE PRODUCTS WILL REQUIRE US TO SOLVE FOR THE SPACECRAFT POSITION AND ORIENTATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL MSI FRAMES USED IN EACH MAP THIS UPDATED SPICE INFORMATION WILL BE INCLUDED IN OUR DELIVERY TO THE PDS. FINALLY, WE WILL PRODUCE AND ARCHIVE GLOBAL BAND-RATIO AND COMPOSITE MAPS USING THE PHOTOMETRICALLY CORRECTED (30 INCIDENCE, 0 EMISSION, 30 PHASE) AND PHOTOGRAMMETRICALLY CONTROLLED MOSAICS. ENHANCEMENTS TO EXISTING TOOLS WITHIN THE INTEGRATED SOFTWARE FOR IMAGERS AND SPECTROMETERS VERSION 3 (ISIS3) ARE REQUIRED TO ENABLE THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS PROPOSAL. ISIS3 IS A FREE, SPECIALIZED, DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING SOFTWARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY S ASTROGEOLOGY SCIENCE CENTER (USGS ASC). IMPROVEMENTS TO ISIS3 WILL INCLUDE: -UPDATING THE MSI INGESTION APPLICATION (MSI2ISIS) AND MSI CAMERA MODEL IN ISIS3 FOR CORRECTIONS AND CONSISTENCY TO SUPPORT GENERALIZED IMAGE PROCESSING WITHIN THE SOFTWARE. -UPDATING THE ISIS3 SUMFILE INGESTION TOOL (SUMSPICE) TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR MSI DATA. -INCREASING THE ACCURACY AND EFFICIENCY OF ISIS3 ROUTINES FOR PROJECTING IMAGES TO TESSELLATED 3D SHAPE MODELS OF IRREGULAR BODIES. -SUBMITTING ANY TOOLS OR UPDATES DEVELOPED AS PART OF THIS WORK TO THE PUBLIC RELEASE OF ISIS3. RELEVANCE TO PLANETARY DATA ARCHIVE&RESTORATION TOOLS: THIS WORK WILL FUNDAMENTALLY IMPROVE THE ACCURACY AND USABILITY OF THE NEAR MSI DATA FROM EROS. BY ARCHIVING THESE DERIVED PRODUCTS, WE WILL ENABLE FUTURE INVESTIGATIONS OF EROS AS WELL AS SMALL BODY COMPARATIVE SCIENCE.

SOIL MOISTURE REPRESENTS A KEY STATE VARIABLE FOR LAND PROCESSES AND PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE IN LAND-ATMOSPHERE ENERGY, WATER, AND CARBON EXCHANGES. THE SOIL MOISTURE ACTIVE-PASSIVE (SMAP) MISSION USES BOTH ACTIVE AND PASSIVE L-BAND MICROWAVE REMOTE SENSING TO DETERMINE THE SURFACE SOIL MOISTURE AND FREEZE/THAW STATE, AND HENCE PROVIDES AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY FOR PROCESS STUDIES AND LAND MODEL EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT. OUR TEAM IS EXPERIENCED IN SOIL MOISTURE MEASUREMENTS, ANALYSIS, AND DATA ASSIMILATION (E.G., DEVELOPMENT OF THE NETWORK FOR COSMICRAY NEUTRON MEASUREMENTS TO RETRIEVE SOIL MOISTURE), SOIL MOISTURE-RELATED LAND DATA DEVELOPMENT (E.G., DEVELOPMENT OF MODIS-BASED GLOBAL LAND COVER TYPE CLIMATOLOGY DATA), AND SOIL MOISTURE-RELATED LAND MODEL DEVELOPMENT (E.G., DEVELOPMENT OF THE REVISED RICHARDS EQUATION FOR SOIL MOISTURE MODELING). FURTHERMORE, OUR TEAM HAS JUST DEVELOPED THE FIRST GLOBAL 1 KM BEDROCK DEPTH DATASET THAT IS CRUCIAL TO UNDERSTAND THE TEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF SMAP SURFACE AND ROOT ZONE SOIL MOISTURE DATA AT LOCATIONS WITH DIFFERENT SOIL THICKNESSES. BASED ON THESE INTERDISCIPLINARY EXPERIENCES AND THE NEW BEDROCK DEPTH DATA, OUR OVERARCHING GOAL IS TO USE SMAP MEASUREMENTS AND OUR VARIABLE BEDROCK DEPTH DATA FOR LAND MODEL EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT. FOUR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS WILL BE ADDRESSED: WHAT IS THE SPATIOTEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF SMAP DATA UNCERTAINTY? HOW DOES VARIABLE SOIL THICKNESS AFFECT THE TEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF SMAP SURFACE AND ROOT ZONE SOIL MOISTURE PRODUCTS OVER AREAS WITH SHALLOW, INTERMEDIATE, AND DEEP BEDROCK DEPTHS? WHAT IS THE SPATIOTEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF LAND SURFACE MODEL DEFICIENCIES AND HOW CAN SMAP MEASUREMENTS PROVIDE A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE (E.G. FOR SOIL FREEZE/THAW STATE)? HOW IS SUMMER PRECIPITATION AFFECTED BY ANTECEDENT SOIL MOISTURE BASED ON SATELLITE MEASUREMENTS AND EARTH SYSTEM MODELS? FOUR TASKS WILL BE CARRIED OUT TO ADDRESS THESE FOUR QUESTIONS. TASK 1 WILL USE IN SITU POINT MEASUREMENTS OF SOIL MOISTURE AND COSMICRAY NEUTRON MEASUREMENTS OF AREA-AVERAGED SOIL MOISTURE TO EVALUATE SMAP AND OTHER SATELLITE L-BAND SOIL MOISTURE PRODUCTS. TASK 2 WILL QUANTIFY THE IMPACT OF BOTH PRECIPITATION AND SOIL THICKNESS ON THE TEMPORAL VARIABILITY OF SMAP SURFACE AND ROOT ZONE SOIL MOISTURE PRODUCTS. THE VARIABLE BEDROCK DEPTH DATA WILL ALSO BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE NASA CATCHMENT LAND MODEL FOR THIS TASK. TASK 3 WILL EVALUATE LAND MODELS WITH FIXED VERSUS VARIABLE BEDROCK DEPTH, AND SOIL ICE TREATMENT IN LAND MODELS (USING THE SMAP AND OTHER SATELLITE FREEZE/THAW INFORMATION). OUR SOIL ICE FRACTION FORMULATION WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE CATCHMENT MODEL FOR SENSITIVITY TESTS. IDEAS ON LAND MODEL IMPROVEMENTS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THROUGH THESE ACTIVITIES. TASK 4 WILL FIRST USE SMAP SOIL MOISTURE AND GLOBAL PRECIPITATION MEASUREMENT (GPM) PRECIPITATION DATA TO IDENTIFY REGIONS WHERE A STRONG TIME-DELAYED CORRELATION OF SOIL MOISTURE (AND ITS SPATIAL VARIABILITY) AND PRECIPITATION EXISTS, AND THEN USE THESE RESULTS TO EVALUATE THE SOIL MOISTURE-PRECIPITATION RELATIONSHIP (RATHER THAN ACTUAL SOIL MOISTURE AND PRECIPITATION VALUES) FROM CMIP5 EARTH SYSTEM MODELS. THE PROPOSED WORK WILL FOCUS ON THE SECOND THEME OF THIS SOLICITATION UTILIZATION OF SMAP FOR MODEL EVALUATION AND IMPROVEMENT, AND IT WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE FIRST THEME UTILIZATION OF SMAP PRODUCTS FOR PROCESS STUDIES AND THE FOURTH THEME EXPLOITATION OF RADAR INFORMED DATA PRODUCTS. IT WILL DIRECTLY ADDRESS TWO OF THE THREE PRIORITIES IN THE DECADAL SURVEY: ENABLING ADVANCES IN THE STUDY OF THE WATER, CARBON, AND ENERGY CYCLES, ESPECIALLY ON THOSE TOPICS THAT DEAL WITH THE INTERSECTIONS OF THESE CYCLES AND EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF SOIL MOISTURE VARIABILITY AND ITS ROLE AS THE MEMORY FOR THE LAND SURFACE, ON WEATHER AND CLIMATE. EXTENSIVE NASA PRODUCTS (E.G., SMAP, GPM, AND AQUARIUS SATELLITE PRODUCTS MERRA2 REANALYSIS AND GLDAS2 PRODUCTS) WILL ALSO BE USED.

Description

IMPACT PROCESSES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE EARLY HISTORY OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND THE RESULTING SHOCK EFFECTS IN METEORITES PROVIDE A RECORD OF IMPACTS AND SOLAR SYSTEM DYNAMICS (SCOTT 2002 CONSOLMAGNO AND BRITT 2004). HOWEVER, MOST OF WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT SHOCK METAMORPHISM IN ORDINARY CHONDRITES AND MARTIAN METEORITES REPRESENTS RELATIVELY LATE SOLAR SYSTEM IMPACT EVENTS (SWINDLE ET AL. 2014 MOSER ET AL. 2013). OUR KNOWLEDGE OF HIGHLY SHOCKED METEORITES IS STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY THE LARGE QUANTITY OF SHOCKED L CHONDRITES, WHICH WERE PREDOMINANTLY SHOCKED IN A LARGE IMPACT EVENT AT 470 MA (TURNER 1969 BOGARD ET AL. 1976 KOROCHANTSEVA ET AL. 2007 HECK ET AL. 2008 WEIRICH ET AL. 2012). AS A RESULT, WE KNOW RELATIVELY LITTLE ABOUT SHOCK EFFECTS FROM SOLAR SYSTEM IMPACT EVENTS OLDER THAN 4150 MA. 40AR/39AR AGES OF IMPACTS IN ORDINARY CHONDRITES (TURNER 1969 BOGARD ET AL. 1976 TURNER 1978 BOGARD 1995 KOROCHANTSEVA ET AL. 2007 SWINDLE ET AL. 2009 SWINDLE ET AL. 2014) DEMONSTRATE THAT MANY CHONDRITES HAVE EXPERIENCED IMPACT EVENTS&GT;4150 MA. THE GOAL OF THE PROPOSED STUDY IS TO INVESTIGATE SHOCK EFFECTS, SHOCK CONDITIONS, ANNEALING AND IMPACT AGES IN THE EARLIEST SHOCKS RECORDED IN ORDINARY CHONDRITES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND IMPACT PROCESSES IN THE FIRST 400 MA OF SOLAR SYSTEM HISTORY. SHOCK EFFECTS IN METEORITES ARE WELL PRESERVED IN RAPIDLY QUENCHED SAMPLES, BUT THEY CAN BE PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY ANNEALED AFTER SHOCK OR DURING THERMAL METAMORPHISM. DEFORMATION AND TRANSFORMATIONAL MICROSTRUCTURES THAT SURVIVE CAN BE USED TO INVESTIGATE BOTH SHOCK AND POST-SHOCK PROCESSES. 40AR/39AR AGES PROVIDE A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY OF IMPACT EVENTS IN METEORITES IN ADDITION TO CONSTRAINTS ON TIME-TEMPERATURE HISTORIES (SWINDLE ET AL. 2014). WE PROPOSE TO PERFORM DETAILED MINERALOGICAL AND MICROSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF CHONDRITES SHOCKED IN THE OLDEST POST-ACCRETION IMPACT PROCESSES. WE WILL USE POLARIZED-LIGHT MICROSCOPY TO CLASSIFY THE SHOCK STAGE AND MAP OUT LOCAL SHOCK MELTING AND TRANSFORMATION IN SAMPLES THAT HAVE 40AR/39AR AGES&GT;4150 MA. WE WILL USE RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY AND SYNCHROTRON X-RAY DIFFRACTION TO IDENTIFY HIGH-PRESSURE MINERALS FORMED BY SHOCK. WE WILL USE BACKSCATTERED ELECTRON IMAGING AND ENERGY DISPERSIVE ANALYSIS WITH OUR FIELD-EMISSION SEMS TO CHARACTERIZE NANO-SCALE DEFORMATION, MELTING AND REACTION MICROSTRUCTURES. WE WILL USE THE FOCUSED-ION-BEAM LIFT-OUT TECHNIQUE TO PREPARE SAMPLES FOR ANALYTICAL TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (TEM). TEM WILL BE USED TO IDENTIFY AND CHARACTERIZE NANO-MINERALOGY, NANOMETER-SCALE REACTION STRUCTURES, DEFORMATION MICROSTRUCTURES AND ANNEALING EFFECTS. FINALLY, WE WILL USE 40AR/39AR DATING TO REFINE THE AGES OF SOME OF THE OLDEST SHOCKED SAMPLES TO BETTER EVALUATE THE TIMING OF EARLY IMPACT PROCESSES. THESE DATA, COMBINED WITH PUBLISHED 40AR/39AR AGE DATA, WILL BE USED TO PROVIDE A DETAILED RECORD OF SHOCK EFFECTS, SHOCK CONDITIONS AND POST-SHOCK ANNEALING IN THE OLDEST SHOCKED MATERIALS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM. THIS DATA WILL PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE ROLE OF IMPACTS AND SHOCK IN THE METAMORPHISM OF ASTEROIDS IN THE EARLY HISTORY OF OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
