- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The $248,245.18 grant is for a research project to integrate an ultra-wideband snow-probing radar onto an ultra-long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle to measure snow thickness over sea-ice and map near-surface internal layers of snow over land-ice in polar regions. This is not a...
- The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas, was awarded a $762,724 research grant (Contract # 80NSSC20K1242) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to integrate a Multichannel Snow Radar (MSR) onto the NASA P-3 Orion Airborne Science Platform. The MSR was previously developed by the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) under a prior NASA contract related to Operation IceBridge. This 2-18 GHz radar...
- The University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. was awarded a $538,780.98 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct research integrating snow probing radar onto the Vanilla VA001 unmanned aircraft system and develop required sub-systems for remote operation of the radar. As the prime contractor, the University of Kansas Center for Research will perform the work in Lawrence, Kansas from May 2020 through December 2022. The contract...
- This federal contract award, valued at $321,434.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Center to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to support Operation IceBridge activities in 2010. The goals of Operation IceBridge are to study and monitor changes in the Earth's cryosphere, including ice sheets, sea ice, and glaciers, as a "data gap filler" between NASA's ICESat-1 and ICESat-2 satellite missions. Under this contract, UAF will...
- This is a $903,729.99 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. (KUCR), a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The grant is for an experiment related to cryospheric uncrewed aerial systems, with a period of performance ending on September 7, 2023. KUCR frequently receives federal grants and contracts to conduct research and development across diverse scientific and technical domains on behalf of the...
- This is a $249,973 firm fixed-price contract awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The contract was issued under ERDC's Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) 21-C0001 for research and development in areas such as coastal engineering, geotechnical analysis, and information technology. The contract is for a project titled "Automated...
- This federal contract award is for a grant to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to provide scientific guidance and support to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Operation IceBridge (OIB) mission. The objective is to study coastal ice dynamics and ice sheet mass balance in Greenland and Antarctica using various data sources, including satellite, airborne, and in-situ measurements. The grant will enable UCI to generate two sets of advanced products: 1) ice thinning...
- This is a $100,803.88 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, an accredited public research university, to conduct research on monitoring and measuring changes in the mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research aims to improve predictive models for sea level rise by analyzing surface mass balance and firn structure data collected during NASA's Operation IceBridge airborne survey missions. The grant supports...
This is a definitive contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Center to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The contract, valued at $2,106,658.00, is in support of NASA's Operation IceBridge mission, which aims to map the bed topography, snow cover, and internal layers of the Greenland ice sheet. The scope of work includes the deployment and support of the University of Kansas' custom-built radar instruments on NASA's P-3 and DC-8 aircraft, as well as the collection and processing of glacier thickness, bed profiles, snow thickness, and firn data. This contract is not designated as a set-aside and leverages the University of Kansas' specialized research capabilities in areas such as engineering, physics, and computer science to support the science goals of the IceBridge mission. The University of Kansas, as the parent organization, has a long history of providing educational services and specialized research to various federal agencies through both prime contracts and subcontracts.
