- This is a $604,359.00 grant awarded by NASA to the Colorado School of Mines to quantify bias and uncertainty sources between laser and radar retrievals of surface topography over cryospheric targets. The grant has a period of performance through June 14, 2026. The Colorado School of Mines is a public research university known for its expertise in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The university frequently collaborates with prime contractors and other...
- This is a $334,928 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Colorado School of Mines, a public research university in Golden, Colorado. The grant is for research related to the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) mission, as well as aerogeophysical and ground-based surveys of the Antarctic ice sheet. The research is focused on understanding the complex and dynamic hydrological systems underlying the fast-flowing portions of the Antarctic...
- This is a $582,084 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Colorado School of Mines, a public research university, for research on ice shelves and tributary glaciers in Antarctica. The research aims to improve understanding of Antarctic ice sheet mass loss, which is a major source of uncertainty in 21st-century sea-level rise projections. The grant is a research contract with a performance period ending on January 31, 2026. The Colorado School...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $498,790.72 grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, to develop an intelligent drilling system for material characterization while drilling on the Moon and Mars. The goal is to create a low-powered drill unit using polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits that can analyze drilling parameters to identify the properties of the subsurface, such as density, cohesion, and...
- This is a $579,391 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, to conduct research on tracing Antarctic freshwater. The project aims to couple observations from the ICESat-2 satellite with ice-shelf cavity models to quantify the impacts of subglacial lake fluxes on ice-ocean processes. The award has an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2026. The Colorado School...
- This is a $157,611 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines. The grant's objective is to produce observationally constrained models of all stages of the life cycle of snow over ice sheets in order to improve understanding of Earth's atmosphere-ice-ocean interactions. The grant has a performance period from September 14, 2020 to September 13, 2025 and does not...
- This is a $309,064 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, a public research university. The grant, titled "ICE THICKNESS IN EARTH'S LARGEST LAKES (ICETELL): INTEGRATION OF ICESAT-2 OBSERVATIONS WITH OPERATIONAL FORECAST MODELS", is for research related to measuring ice thickness in large lakes using observations from the ICESat-2 satellite. The grant has a...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $599,296 grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as the Colorado School of Mines, a public research university located in Golden, Colorado. The grant is for research related to the Lunar Orbital Platform-Gateway, a staging point for manned and unmanned missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. The Gateway will be primarily staffed by autonomous caretaker robots, creating a unique human-technical...
- Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as Colorado School of Mines, has been awarded a $100,996.26 firm-fixed-price grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant, which has a period of performance through March 7, 2024 and was awarded on May 1, 2021, supports research related to characterizing near-Earth asteroids through planetary radar observations. No set-aside designation was applied to this award. The Colorado School of...
- This federal contract award is for a research grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines (doing business as Colorado School of Mines) to support the INSIGHT mission, the first planetary mission since the Apollo mission dedicated to acquiring geophysical data from surface-installed instruments on Mars. The $353,078.00 grant will fund the development of 3D spectral-element wave simulations to characterize seismic signals received from a broadband seismometer on the INSIGHT mission....
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $522,287 grant to the Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines, doing business as Colorado School of Mines, for a research project titled "Recent 3D Imaging of Martian Polar Ice Caps Using Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Shallow Radar (SHARAD) Data". The goal is to develop advanced 3D processing techniques to generate higher resolution images of the Martian polar ice cap structures, which will improve understanding of the depositional history and climate on Mars. The proposed methods leverage recent innovations in seismic imaging technology. This grant-funded research project does not have a set-aside designation and will be performed at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. The school has extensive experience in federal contract and grant work, frequently collaborating with government agencies, national laboratories, and industry partners on scientific and engineering research.
