- The University of Pittsburgh has been awarded a $663,640 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "Validating Volcanic Degassing Retrievals Using a Novel Ground Based Thermal Infrared Camera System Preparing for the Upcoming SBG Mission." The grant, which runs through February 2027, will support the university's work on validating remote sensing methods for monitoring volcanic gas emissions in preparation for an upcoming NASA...
- This $741,188 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh on April 19, 2021 for a research project on improved measurement and modeling of volcanic plumes. The project is divided into three tasks and has an ultimate completion date of April 18, 2025. As a grant for research, this award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Pittsburgh is the prime contractor and sole recipient of this funding, which will...
- This $87,619.49 federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the volcanic and eolian history of the Daedalia Planum region on Mars. The research objectives are to: (1) extract thermophysical information from lava flow surfaces, (2) model the infrared spectral data of bedrock outcrops to determine composition, and (3) examine variations in flow surface characteristics to constrain the volcanic and...
- This $293,761 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh supports a research project focused on acquiring and modeling new thermal infrared geostationary (GEO) observations from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on the GOES-16/17 satellites. The project is divided into three primary volcanological science tasks. The University of Pittsburgh, a major public research university, frequently partners with government agencies...
- This is a $104,999.97 training grant contract awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Pittsburgh. The contract aims to conduct graduate research to address multiple questions of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, with a focus on understanding active volcanic processes and their impact on the Earth's atmosphere and climate. The research will leverage data from satellite sensors, including the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), to study...
- The University of Pittsburgh - Of The Commonwealth System of Higher Education, doing business as The University of Pittsburgh, was awarded a $134,999.65 training grant contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract is focused on accurately calculating the temperature and thermal emissivity of basaltic lava surfaces using a newly-developed ground-based miniature multispectral thermal infrared system. This data will be used to improve...
- This is a $335,794.40 grant award by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa for a study to assess the dispersal of explosive volcanic products (tephra) in the present and past Mars environment. The goal is to determine whether explosive eruptions on Mars were capable of distributing material on a regional to global scale, or if other origins must be sought for certain Martian surface deposits. The study will involve developing...
- This is a $299,865.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh for a research project titled "Towards Generalizable, Fair, and Knowledge Guided Machine Learning for Monitoring Earth Systems". The project aims to develop advanced machine learning techniques to monitor and analyze Earth systems. The grant has an ultimate completion date of April 29, 2027 and was awarded on April 30, 2024. This award is not associated with a...
- The University of Pittsburgh, a state-related research university located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was awarded a $423,693 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research related to the broad strategic objective of "discovering how the universe works, exploring how it began and evolved, and searching for life on planets around other stars". The grant, awarded on March 1, 2020, does not have a set-aside designation and has a completion date of...
- This is a $255,589 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh to support research related to the Hyperspectral Infrared Imager (HyspIRI) mission. The research aims to improve understanding of active volcanic processes and their hazards using data from the planned HyspIRI satellite sensors. The award will fund investigations into modeling the effects of sub-pixel temperature anomalies and non-Lambertian scattering on the accuracy of...
This $366,015 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) will fund research to improve understanding of volcanic processes on Mars. The research aims to validate terrestrial lava flow propagation models for Martian applications, determine eruption conditions that produced Martian lava flows, and assess variations in flow rheology and crystal content. The work leverages data from the recent 2012-2013 Tolbachik eruption in Russia as a terrestrial analog to refine flow modeling approaches. The overarching goal is to connect Martian volcanic surface morphology to eruption conditions, providing insights into the volcanotectonic evolution of the Tharsis region. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, as Pitt competes for federal research funding as a large public research university. Pitt frequently partners with government agencies like NASA on projects spanning disciplines like planetary science, engineering, and biomedical research.
