The award is for ~$500K direct costs. The NAU team will support the remote-sensing based characterization of the mine tailing sites under investigation.  They will model the top-layer thermal inertia following methods developed by former grad student <strong>Ari Koeppel<\/strong> to determine the likelihood of material mobilization.  While carrying out the thermophysical investigation is a primary aspect, characterizing the volume is the second goal NAU will support. They will precisely map the topography of the site using RTK (Real Time Knowledge) providing accuracy down to cm scales and finish by mapping the bottom layer boundary using a to be purchased ground penetrating radar on a UAV.<\/p>\n<p>You can read more about it here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azregents.edu\/news-releases\/mining-arizonas-hidden-treasure\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mining Arizona\u2019s hidden treasure<\/a><br>\n<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-accordion -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-accordion shortcode-accordion--closed\" style=\"position: relative;\" >\n        <h4 class=\"shortcode-accordion__header\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"shortcode-accordion__trigger\" data-header=\"David Trilling, Chad Trujillo, Ryder Strauss, Will Oldroyd, and the rest of the DEEP team (including former NAU folks Colin Chandler, Michael Mommert, and Andrew McNeill) have three more papers out_0\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-17-trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"shortcode-accordion-17-panel\">\n            David Trilling, Chad Trujillo, Ryder Strauss, Will Oldroyd, and the rest of the DEEP team (including former NAU folks Colin Chandler, Michael Mommert, and Andrew McNeill) have three more papers out\n            <span class=\"shortcode-accordion__header__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n    <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__body\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-17-panel\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"shortcode-accordion-17-trigger\" inert>\n        <html><body>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\/abs\/2310.19864\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) II.

While Meteor Crater is not thought to have significantly affected the biosphere (unlike the K-T impact) it is one of the most well-preserved impact craters on Earth and is therefore a useful field location to discuss impact events generally.<\/p>\n<p>Sunset Crater: Sunset Crater and the surrounding volcanic fields are relevant for the discussion of life in the universe because they afford us the opportunity to discuss volcanism as a geologic process that mobilizes biologically relevant elements. Volcanoes are thought to have been critical to the development of life on Earth and the relatively recent lava flows at Sunset give the students a chance to understand the scale and context of volcanic eruptions.<\/p>\n<p>Grand Canyon: The Grand Canyon is one of the best places on Earth to view a largely continuous exposure of the terrestrial geologic record.<br>\nThis location is relevant for the discussion of life in the universe because it demonstrates to students how investigating geologic material can inform our understanding of the history of a planet in terms of biology, geology, meteorology, etc. Such investigations are how professional planetary scientists search for life on other planets and our understanding of the terrestrial geologic record helps us search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.<br>\n<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-accordion -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-accordion shortcode-accordion--closed\" style=\"position: relative;\" >\n        <h4 class=\"shortcode-accordion__header\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"shortcode-accordion__trigger\" data-header=\"Mark Loeffler is a Co-I on a recently selected proposal to NASA\u2019s Solar System Workings program_0\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-94-trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"shortcode-accordion-94-panel\">\n            Mark Loeffler is a Co-I on a recently selected proposal to NASA\u2019s Solar System Workings program\n            <span class=\"shortcode-accordion__header__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n    <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__body\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-94-panel\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"shortcode-accordion-94-trigger\" inert>\n        <html><body>\n<p>Titled: \u201cAn Experimental Investigation of Space Weathering Processes on the Surface of Mercury,\u201d 5he proposal is<br>\n$1.3 M for 3 years and brings about $100K to NAU.<br>\n<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-accordion -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-accordion shortcode-accordion--closed\" style=\"position: relative;\" >\n        <h4 class=\"shortcode-accordion__header\">\n        <button type=\"button\" class=\"shortcode-accordion__trigger\" data-header=\"Helen Eifert participated in a NASA astronaut field geology training camp over winter break_0\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-95-trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"shortcode-accordion-95-panel\">\n            Helen Eifert participated in a NASA astronaut field geology training camp over winter break\n            <span class=\"shortcode-accordion__header__arrow\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n    <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__body\" id=\"shortcode-accordion-95-panel\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"shortcode-accordion-95-trigger\" inert>\n        <html><body>\n<p>She writes:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last few years, I have been observing drying trends of saturated surfaces at various Mars-analogous sites in the deserts of the southwestern United States. Over the holiday break, I took this analog research of studying Mars on Earth a step further. I served as the crew geologist for Crew 271 at the Mars Desert Research Station near Hanksville, Utah. After discovering the research facility during a field trip for the DAPS planetary analogs class [taught by Christopher Edwards], I applied to participate in a two week astronaut simulation mission. Here, I acquired supplemental visible near infrared data of drying trends over multiple days in a mission simulated environment. This data will inform one of my dissertation chapters by providing a better understanding of the residence of water in clay mineral structures. As a bonus, I experienced the unique challenges of conducting science on Mars. This work will help to better understand thermophysical properties of geologic surfaces, Mars\u2019 water history, and how we might detect moisture on Mars. All of which should help inform human missions to Mars in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4886\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4886\" style=\"width: 600px;\" class=\"wp-caption
