- The University of Alaska Fairbanks has been awarded a $873,169 research grant by a civilian federal agency to execute a volcano monitoring program utilizing Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) geodesy. The award, effective February 1, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of June 16, 2027, represents a non-set-aside grant for research that aligns with the funding agency's priorities in balanced science programming informed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and...
- This federal contract award to Stanford University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for research to advance volcano monitoring techniques using joint inversion of seismicity and geodetic observations. The $271,103.51 grant will be used to develop methods for modeling dike propagation and the onset of volcanic eruptions, building on previous work on the 2014 Bardarbunga volcano intrusion in Iceland. The research aims to improve real-time, physics-based data...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for a research project focused on improving the monitoring of volcanic activity and eruptions using satellite data. The project aims to create a 30-year global record of volcanic thermal unrest by integrating measurements from various satellite sensors, with the goal of enhancing NASA's ability to forecast volcanic behavior and mitigate its effects on society. The grant has...
- This is a $530,742 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science division. The purpose of the grant is to study the relationship between rainfall and volcanic eruptions using historic eruption and precipitation records, as well as modern satellite observations from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar...
- This is a $276,284.34 grant awarded by NASA to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, a science and engineering university, to advance the numerical modeling methods used to quantify magma migration within the non-uniform rheological structure and stress field of an active volcano. The project aims to improve the interpretation of InSAR data for active volcanoes by developing tools to estimate parameters and uncertainties that describe the shape of the magma chamber, the history of...
- This is a $78,643.53 grant awarded by NASA to the University of South Florida (USF) for research directly aligned with NASA's goal to address increasing exposure to natural hazards. The grant falls under one of NASA's top research directives from its Decadal Survey to improve the accuracy of digital elevation models (DEMs) at active volcanoes. The award has a period of performance from October 2, 2019 to June 28, 2022. USF, a major public research university, has a strong track record of...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for $195,206.00 to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to conduct research on the "Probing Interactions of Volcanoes Using Long-Term Geodetic and Seismic Records: Unimak Island, Alaska." The award, which has a completion date of June 30, 2026, does not have a set-aside designation. UAF, a state-controlled institution of higher education, will leverage its expertise in Arctic and climate science...
- The University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) was awarded a $335,098 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on using thermal infrared remote sensing to monitor pre-eruptive volcanic activity. This research grant, which has an estimated completion date of August 18, 2025, is not set aside for any specific business type. UAF's Grants and Contracts Administration division will be responsible for managing and executing the research activities, which may...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $443,084 research grant to American University to investigate the impacts of volcanic aerosols and pyrocumulus nimbus (pyrocb) smoke on meteorological and aerosol data assimilation using NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) Earth System Model. The research aims to quantify how episodic injections of aerosols from volcanic eruptions and wildfires affect atmospheric modeling and forecasting accuracy. Currently, most...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K1236, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). The $157,313 grant supports the development of thermal infrared (TIR) data-based volcanic ash and sulfur dioxide (SO2) monitoring products to complement the existing ultraviolet (UV)-based products. This will enable 24/7 monitoring of volcanic activity, including at night and in low-light conditions, to improve air traffic safety...
This is a $541,921 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Illinois for research on using interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (InSAR) and GPS data to develop a data assimilation framework to detect precursors and forecast eruptions for high-risk volcanoes in the Aleutian Arc. The grant aims to build a near real-time monitoring system to provide eruption forecasts in coordination with the Alaska Volcano Observatory. The research will optimize the use of satellite InSAR data, combine it with thermomechanical models, and analyze historical eruptions to investigate precursors and stability. This work supports NASA's Earth science research goals to characterize Earth's surface and interior dynamics, assess natural hazards, and advance the NASA-ISRO SAR mission. The grant has no set-aside designation.
