- This $179,198.43 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University will support research to assess glacier volume change in the American West using airborne microwave sensor data. The objective is to track the magnitude and rate of alpine glacier retreat due to climate change, which impacts global sea level rise. The project will provide a baseline dataset of glacier topography that can be used to measure future volume changes. This work expands the...
- This is a $302,078.02 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University (PSU) to develop a "robust indicator of extreme precipitation over the Continental United States" based on data from NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) programs. The indicator will categorize extreme precipitation events similar to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, allowing tracking of trends in...
- Portland State University was awarded a $298,737 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on July 19, 2023, to conduct flow-dependent optimization of observation performance in NASA's GEOS Hybrid 4D-ENVAR ADAS (Advanced Data Assimilation System). The project, which is scheduled for completion on July 18, 2026, represents a non-set-aside grant focused on advancing data assimilation methodologies critical to Earth observation and weather prediction capabilities. This research aligns with...
- This federal contract award, valued at $483,955.00, was granted to Portland State University (PSU) by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency. The contract is for research to characterize snow albedo (reflectivity) across spatial and temporal scales in the Alaskan boreal forest region, evaluate uncertainties in current remote sensing products, and develop improved modeling of snow albedo and its impacts on snow hydrology. This research aims to address key uncertainties in global...
- This is a $207,458.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Portland State University (PSU), a public research university in Oregon. The grant supports continued research on ocean surface tides and internal tides using satellite altimeter data, numerical modeling, and data assimilation. Key objectives include producing highly accurate global tidal atlases, investigating the stationarity of low-mode internal tides, and improving...
- Portland State University received a $339,573.69 research grant from a civilian federal agency (via the Shared Services Center) with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2024. The award, made on February 27, 2019, supports a scientific research project investigating the formation and thermal history of chondrites—meteoritic rocks that are critical to understanding early solar system processes. The project comprises three primary research objectives: testing whether hot chondrules accreted...
- The University of Utah has been awarded a $353,170.99 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project to improve operational snowmelt forecasting models in the Colorado River Basin. The project aims to develop the capacity to run a spatially distributed snow energy balance model informed by remote sensing data, in order to better account for factors like dust deposition that can significantly impact snowmelt timing and magnitude. This research is...
- This is a $232,262.92 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington to improve high-resolution mapping of snow cover in complex forested terrain using Planet Labs satellite imagery. The University of Washington will couple ground and airborne snow observations with Planet imagery in mountain systems in Washington, California, and Colorado. This work aims to enhance understanding of climate change impacts on...
- This $2,360,091.00 federal grant award to Colorado State University (CSU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) aims to integrate innovative observation capabilities into coupled wildfire models for improved active fire forecasting. The 3-year project, which runs through August 2026, involves developing advanced technologies to enhance wildfire monitoring and predictive modeling. CSU, a public land-grant research university, has extensive expertise in environmental...
