The award has a period of performance ending on July 24, 2028. UMD is a prominent U.S. state government entity, 1862 land grant college, and state-controlled...
- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The $248,125.00 grant is part of the IceSat-2 Applications Program, which aims to ensure the utility of the IceSat-2 satellite data products for a broad community of stakeholders. The grant will engage end-users and product developers to accelerate the use of IceSat-2 data after the satellite's launch. This effort is intended to enable the maximum societal...
- This federal contract award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the ICESat-2 mission. The $205,283.89 grant provides funding for research to capture vertical structure characteristics of Earth's surface elements from space. The award does not have a set-aside designation. UMD, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, is the prime contractor for this research contract. As the parent organization,...
- This is a $334,984.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to investigate weather and climate drivers of sea ice variability in the new Arctic. The award, which has an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2026, is not set aside for any specific business type, indicating UMD's competitive capabilities across multiple technical domains. UMD is a prominent U.S. state government entity, 1862 land grant college,...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park, with a ceiling value of $98,100.38. The objective of the work is to develop a time-series of surface change along the Summit Traverse in Greenland, and to determine the local surface roughness along the traverse. This will support calibration and validation of measurements from the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission. The award does not have...
This is a $264,065 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to provide high-quality, high-resolution sea-ice thickness, snow depth, and land-ice elevation data products. The project aims to support NASA's ICESat-2 mission through synergistic measurements and data product characteristics. UMD will leverage lessons learned from the early stages of ICESat-2 commissioning and operations to provide recommendations for improvements to the Polar IST mission's retrieval algorithms. The results will address specific questions related to changes in the Earth's ice cover under NASA's climate variability and change focus area. There was no set-aside designation for this award.
