Marcus Cometary Research Fund
The Marcus Cometary Research Fund is a restricted endowed fund established in 2016 by Dr. Joseph Marcus to support research on comets in the context of the rich comet history at Lowell Observatory. The fund provides small-scale enhancements for primary and alternative activities including, but not limited to, observation, data reduction, analysis, modeling, software and equipment development and purchase, manuscript production, publication, amateur-professional collaboration, travel, colloquia, and a semi-annual comet lectureship. We welcome new gifts to the Marcus Cometary Research Fund through current donations or a designation in your will, trust, life insurance, or other estate planning vehicle.
