Grants and Contributions

As the 2025 G7 President, Canada hosted the Leaders’ meeting in Kananaskis, Alberta, where a joint statement on Artificial Intelligence for Prosperity was unveiled. To advance this initiative, Canada’s Office of the Chief Information Officer launched the G7 Grand Challenge Rapid Solution Labs to accelerate public sector AI adoption. Researchers will try to solve complex public sector challenges by developing innovative solutions.

Rock chemistries and micro-textures resolvable by the Planetary Instrument for X-ray Lithochemistry (PIXL) instrument onboard the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover allow integrated rock histories to be resolved. The science objectives of this proposal focus on different rock components, including (1) igneous starting materials, (2) secondary salts and alteration products, (3) dust and coatings that accumulate at the Mars surface. Key to understanding the history is the Mineralogical make up, grain size and shape, rock cements cementing agents. This project addresses these possible contributions (dust, igneous precursor, and secondary alteration) to rock compositions analyzed by the Mars 2020 rover in Jezero Crater by micro-textural geochemical and mineralogical data. These studies will aid in achieving the Mars 2020 mission goals of assessing the Jezero rocks for potential habitability and to aid in sample selection.

Using cryopreserved whole blood samples collected from three international space missions, this project will investigate the subpopulation of hemolyzed red blood cells, hemoglobin gene-switching, specific red blood cell anomalies, and the dose-dependent effects of radiation on space anemia, all using state-of-the-art methods often applied for the first time to space samples.

The Artemis and Lunar Gateway programs have near-term objectives that involve conducting science/research unique to their deep space location, including investigation of the heliosphere and solar wind, space weather, as well as the Lunar plasma environment. Additionally, Canadian Space Strategy objectives include improving the understanding of solar storms and their effects on astronauts and terrestrial infrastructure. The current project aligns with these priorities and involves international collaboration via active missions at the Moon and Mars and merging of spacecraft observational data from THEMIS-Artemis and MAVEN with magnetohydrodynamic simulations using advanced data assimilation/machine learning to better predict and understand the solar wind and Lunar and Martian environments. Outcomes are expected to improve our understanding of space weather and its impact on human activity at Earth and in space.
