Description

About the

NASA Postdoctoral Program

The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASA’s missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.

Description:

Mars is a comparatively sulfur rich planet. Extensive occurrences of sulfate minerals have been documented in martian rocks and soils by orbital and ground-based spacecraft. These minerals provide important clues into the aqueous history, as well as past and present conditions on the planet. Despite this, a full understanding of the influence of Mars relevant physical parameters on the stability and occurrence of the large number of possible minerals and sulfate phases remains incomplete. This opportunity will involve work to enhance knowledge in this area, with particular focus on the impact of environmental conditions on the the X-ray diffraction characteristics of Ca, Mg, and Fe sulfates, which are particularly abundant on Mars.
