Biosignatures of the Subsurface Accessed through Serpentine Portals (BioSATS)

A flag is a question, not a finding. It is not evidence that anything wrong happened.

CAD 99,910.00

Reported federal agreement value. An agreement can cover several years; this is not the amount paid out.

Selected because the publisher reports recipient province NL; NL Ledger has not established the work, benefit or jurisdiction from this record; source fields are available below.

This is the whole reported commitment or notice value, not the amount paid or an NL allocation.

    description_en
    Water rock reaction, known as serpentinization, has the potential to support life on other worlds (planets and moons), by providing energy. Detecting life at sites of serpentinization on other worlds requires the ability to find serpentinization sites and detect biosignatures, i.e. select investigation sites that have present/past conditions that are/were favourable to support life. This project aims to study life's signatures (i.e. its isotopic and molecular imprints, and its interaction with the environment) at sites of serpentinization and to contribute that knowledge to a joint international proposal whose purpose is to develop a remote sensing method for detecting habitable sites of serpentinization. This project will result in scientific knowledge of life's biosignatures at active serpentinized springs and preservation of life's biosignatures in inactive serpentinized springs, while contributing to the technological development of an algorithm for detecting serpentinized springs using machine learning and remote sensing data collected from satellites and drones.

    La réaction eau-roche, connue sous le nom de serpentinisation, a le potentiel de soutenir la vie sur d'autres mondes (planètes et lunes), en fournissant l'énergie. La détection de la vie sur des sites de serpentinisation sur d'autres mondes nécessite la capacité de trouver des sites de serpentinisation et de détecter des biosignatures, c.-à-d. de sélectionner des sites d'investigation dont les conditions actuelles ou passées sont ou étaient favorables à la vie. Ce projet vise à examiner les signatures biologiques (c.-à-d. ses empreintes isotopiques et moléculaires et son interaction avec l'environnement) sur des sites de serpentinisation et à contribuer ces connaissances à une proposition internationale conjointe dont le but est de développer une méthode de télédétection pour détecter des sites de serpentinisation habitables. Ce projet permettra d'acquérir des connaissances scientifiques sur les biosignatures détectées aux sites de serpentinisation actifs et de préserver les biosignatures détectées aux sites de serpentinisation non actifs, tout en contribuant au développement technologique d'un algorithme de détection des sites de serpentinisation à l'aide de l'apprentissage automatique (Machine Learning) et des données de télédétection recueillies à partir de satellites et de drones.
