- This federal contract award to Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona, is for the investigation of geologic and topographic settings, as well as triggers, of large historic, prehistoric, and future landslides in the Himalaya and Karakoram regions. The $1,345,672.34 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will enable PSI to model the susceptibility of the terrain to produce similar large landslides in the future due...
- This is a $415,089.67 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a project titled "Interlinked Glacier Dynamics, Lakes, Mountain Hazards, and Critical Vulnerabilities in the Himalaya." The project aims to explore the links between mountain hazards, glaciers, permafrost, snowfields, glacial lakes, and unstable mountain slopes in High Mountain Asia, particularly Nepal, and examine potential downstream impacts of glacier lake...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant, valued at $339,812.00, is for a research project titled "DERIVATION OF SUSPENDED SEDIMENT LOADS OF GLACIER-FED ANDEAN LAKES, RESERVOIRS, AND RIVERS: APPLICATIONS FOR HAZARDS AND WATER QUALITY." The project is focused on studying the sediment loads of glacier-fed lakes,...
- This is a $1,116,509.73 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant, titled "Precipitation and Glacier Change in High Mountain Asia over the Common Era," aims to quantify the temporal and spatial variability in precipitation over High Mountain Asia and the impacts of this variability on glacier mass balance over the modern era from 1980 to the present. The research will employ statistical climate...
- This is a $313,865 grant awarded by NASA to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a multi-pronged 3D modeling effort to understand the habitability of rocky planets in our solar system over time and to inform the detection and characterization of habitable exoplanets. The research aims to explore key dynamic components of planetary atmospheres, including atmospheric and oceanic heat transport, cloud variability, and the...
- This is a $278,530 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for PSI to execute a balanced science program focused on discipline-specific guidance, administration priorities, and congressional direction. This includes participating as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiatives, with a focus on scientific research of, on, and from the Moon, lunar...
- This $121,308.00 federal grant award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a project titled "A CITIZEN SCIENTIST APPROACH TO HIGH RESOLUTION GEOLOGIC MAPPING OF INTRACRATER IMPACT MELT DEPOSITS AS AN INPUT TO NUMERICAL MODELS". The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is for the purpose of conducting research related to the...
- This is a $320,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. The award is for research related to the goals of NASA's Emerging Worlds program, which aims to enhance fundamental understanding of how the solar system formed and evolved. As a non-set-aside award, the contract reflects PSI's competitive capabilities in planetary science research. PSI has a...
- This is a $985,672.09 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a research-focused public institution, for a study on the interactions between extreme precipitation, wildfires, earthquakes, and mass movements that can lead to cascading hazards and large-scale disasters. The research will leverage multiple NASA remote sensing data sets in conjunction with in-situ observations and advanced hydrologic and fluvial modeling to improve...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $101,069.31 grant to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant, awarded under contract number 80NSSC19K0781, aims to develop new algorithms and computational methods to enable more accurate thermal modeling of airless planetary bodies, including the Moon, Mars, and asteroids. The work will focus on improving the ability to model the strong horizontal...
This is a $407,682 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, for a project titled "Development and Climate Change in High Mountain Asia (HMA) Are Affecting Natural Hazards." The project will explore the links between mountain hazards and glaciers, snowfields, glacial lakes, and unstable mountain slopes in the HMA region, which includes Nepal, Bhutan, and adjoining areas of China. The research will investigate mass movement, glacier dynamics, and glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) using satellite data over the past several decades. This grant-funded research is not associated with a set-aside contract and is part of NASA's broader efforts to advance planetary science and space exploration through partnerships with organizations like PSI, which has significant expertise in these areas.
