Congratulations to our PI Merve for securing fundings for a New Dynamic Vapor Sorption Instrument!
We are ready to explore water retention on Mars with our new advanced DVS instrument!!
We are thrilled to announce that our PI Merve has secured funding for the purchase of a new Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS) instrument, thanks to generous support from the Kempe Foundation and the Faculty of Science and Technology at Umea University.
This cutting-edge instrument will significantly enhance our capabilities in studying deliquescence features of salts and Martian analogues at varied pressurized environments (e.g., N2, CO2) in an extended temperature range (e.g., ~ 5 - 85 °C), enabling more precise and advanced research in planetary science, astrobiology and biogeochemistry fields. The addition of the DVS system will open new opportunities for high-impact studies and strengthen our collaborations within and beyond the university.
Our PI Merve expressed that - “A huge thank you to our funding partners for supporting our research endeavors! Thanks for the co-applicants in this project including Dr. Michael Holmboe, Dr. Eric Capo and Prof. Markus Broström as well.”
We look forward to integrating this new technology into our work and sharing exciting results in the near future.
Stay tuned for updates!
