About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This federal contract award to Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona, is for the investigation of geologic and topographic settings, as well as triggers, of large historic, prehistoric, and future landslides in the Himalaya and Karakoram regions. The $1,345,672.34 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will enable PSI to model the susceptibility of the terrain to produce similar large landslides in the future due to ice melt, seismicity, or other factors. The research will utilize PSI's high-performance computing cluster to analyze seismic wave propagation and surface interactions in the complex topography and geology of the Gorkha earthquake-affected Himalayan region and the Kashmir earthquake area in the Karakoram. This work supports NASA's strategic goals in planetary science and is not associated with a set-aside designation, reflecting PSI's competitive capabilities in this domain.

Description

As the agency reported it.

We plan to investigate geologic and topographic settings and triggers of large historic, pre-historic and future landslides in the himalaya and karakoram, including river damming and other associated hazardous events of transboundary consequences. The region of interest involves the international border areas within the larger region depicted in figure 1. We will model susceptibilities of the terrain to produce similar large landslides in the future due to ICE melt, seismicity, or stochastic failures. We will use u of a s distributed memory cluster to compute seismic wave propagation and surface interaction in the complex topography and first-order geologic structure of the 2015 gorkha-earthquake-affected himalayan region and the 2005 kashmir earthquake area in the karakoram. Shaking-related landslide susceptibility will be tested using outcome of the 2015 gorkha earthquake; monsoon related landslides will be evaluated nearby but where seismicity was weak.
