CLEVER Planets is live

September 10, 2018August 11, 2022Announcements, News

We are pleased to announce CLEVER Planets (the Cycling of Life-Essential Volatile Elements on Rocky Planets), a research project investigating the necessary chemistry for a rocky planet to host life. The project is funded by an almost $8-million grant from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate to be a part of the Nexus for Exoplanet System Science (NExSS). Research for the team project will be accomplished by Principle Investigator Rajdeep Dasgupta (Rice University) and eleven other co-investigators from around the world (Rice, NASA’s Johnson Space Center, UCLA, UC-Davis, UC-Boulder), and many more collaborators at a myriad of institutions around the world, all representing...
