- This federal contract is a $1,062,623.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) for research related to characterizing major hydrology-driven landslides in the northwestern United States using radar remote sensing techniques. The project aims to create a unified framework for modeling rapidly accelerating and slow-moving landslides by integrating data from satellite-based precipitation and soil moisture measurements with...
- This federal contract award to Southern Methodist University (SMU) is focused on developing advanced interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques to quantify landslide dynamics and update the landslide inventory in the northwestern United States. Valued at $100,051.36, the contract is part of a larger effort by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to pioneer spaceborne technologies for natural hazard monitoring. The project aims to improve current InSAR...
- This is a $396,304 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) to leverage their expertise in InSAR data analysis, numerical modeling, and the study of volcanoes, landslides, and other geophysical processes. The award is not set aside for any specific business category. As a member of the NISAR Science Definition Team from 2013-2016 and Science Team from 2016-2019, SMU will apply their experience with the NISAR mission to...
- This is a $465,624 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) to quantify the impacts of human activities on the stability of the solid-earth through numerical poroelastic modeling and simulation of the stress/pressure distribution in the rock/soil columns and the resulting surface subsidence/uplift. The grant was awarded on July 8, 2021, with a completion date of July 7, 2025. The award does not have a set-aside...
- Southern Methodist University Office of Research Division, doing business as SMU, was awarded a $227,316 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to support research titled "Towards Making NISAR a Game Changer for Studying and Monitoring Volcano, Landslide, and Human-Induced Geohazards - Extension." The objective of this research is to leverage data from NASA's upcoming NISAR mission to advance monitoring of geohazards such as...
- This is a $146,240 grant awarded to Southern Methodist University (SMU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to characterize the formation and evolution of lunar magmatic reservoirs. The grant, which runs through August 31, 2026, will fund in-situ radiogenic isotope, stable isotope, and trace element analyses in apatite samples. SMU, a private research university in Dallas, Texas, has extensive experience supporting federal agencies including NASA through its Office of...
- This federal contract award, valued at $137,968.15, was granted to Southern Methodist University (SMU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop an "App Store" for the OpenNEX climate data analytics platform. The project aims to create an infrastructure where climate data tools and programs can be easily uploaded, shared, organized, searched, and recommended, similar to photo and video sharing platforms. This grant-funded research contract does not have a...
- This federal contract award, valued at $147,120.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) for research on the cryogenic thermal conductivity of lunar regolith. The contract is a grant for research, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. SMU, a private research university in Dallas, Texas, has extensive experience supporting various federal agencies through both contract and grant work. This award does not have...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AL10G, was granted to Southern Methodist University (SMU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate and monitor surface subsidence, ground ruptures, and sinkhole development in the Gulf Coast region using advanced interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques. The $550,099 grant aims to construct annual subsidence maps, classify local subsidence areas, map faults, and characterize sinkhole development over...
- This contract award to Southern Methodist University (SMU) is part of NASA's NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission to develop advanced techniques for improving ground surface deformation mapping, 3D deformation mapping, and atmospheric path delay mitigation. SMU will provide algorithm development, calibration/validation, and inputs to refine NISAR's scientific and technical capabilities during Phases B, C, and D of the mission. The university has extensive experience in SAR/InSAR...
This is a $138,495.58 grant contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) to assess the hazards of densely-vegetated deep-seated landslides in the Pacific Northwest using P-band Airborne Microwave Observatory of Subcanopy and Subsurface (AIRMOSS) technology. SMU, a private research university located in Dallas, Texas, will conduct this research through its Office of Research and Innovation Division. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to address the significant annual costs and casualties associated with deep-seated landslides in the region, which are difficult to monitor using traditional remote sensing methods. This grant award demonstrates SMU's expertise in geosciences and its capacity to support federal agencies in addressing complex environmental challenges through advanced sensing and research capabilities.
