- The University of California, Irvine (UCI) was awarded a $415,548 research grant on October 26, 2022, for NISAR Products, Calibration/Validation, and Early Science Results for Glaciers and Ice Sheets. This non-set-aside grant, managed through a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, supports research activities to be conducted at UCI's Irvine, California campus with an ultimate completion date of October 25, 2026. The NASA Imaging Radar (NISAR) mission represents a collaborative...
- This is a $461,480 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) on June 2, 2018. The grant supports research to better quantify the uncertainty and model the runoff production from surface melt, which is a key component of the mass loss of the Greenland ice sheet. The research will leverage data from automated weather stations, snow pits, and ice cores to evaluate the ability of regional atmospheric climate models...
- This is a $345,760.51 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to continue support for the definition of science goals, requirements, measurement requirements, product definition, and science algorithm development, as well as data distribution and calibration/validation planning for the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission. The work will be done in collaboration with other key NASA missions focused...
- This is a $118,512.21 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine), a major public research university located in California. The contract aims to use data assimilation techniques to better understand the processes driving the rapid changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet and improve projections of its contribution to sea level rise. This effort will combine NASA's Ice Sheet System Model...
- This is a $135,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) on September 1, 2018. The grant supports research to characterize the topology and flux partition characteristics of Arctic delta channel networks and their connectivity with thermokarst lakes. The goal is to improve understanding of how localized changes in connectivity drive system-wide response and reorganization in...
- This is a $946,783 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) on June 20, 2024. The grant, titled "IMPROVING ICE SHEET MASS BALANCE ESTIMATES USING LASER RANGING INTERFEROMETER (LRI) AND MICROWAVE INSTRUMENT (MWI) GRACE-FO AND GRACE DATA", is for research to improve estimates of ice sheet mass balance using data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) missions....
- This is a $212,513.80 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to conduct research on "Understanding the Physics that Controls the Growth of Galaxies". The grant supports fundamental research in extragalactic astronomy, building on progress made in the past two decades while addressing remaining key questions. UC Irvine is a public research university with extensive expertise across disciplines, leveraging specialized facilities...
- This $123,817.67 federal grant award to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on understanding changes in the global carbon cycle in forests under a changing climate. The research aims to improve models and predictions related to carbon sequestration and release in forest ecosystems. There is no set-aside designation for this grant. As a public research university with extensive expertise across...
- This federal contract award, ID 80NSSC21K0917, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) on May 20, 2021. The $484,367.00 grant is for a research project aimed at improving estimates of ice mass balance in Antarctica by combining observations from NASA's ICESat/OIB/ICESat-2 laser altimetry missions and the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)/GRACE-Follow On (GRACE-FO)...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to conduct gravity sounding research on glaciers in southern Greenland. The $984,614 grant will enable UC Irvine to employ a novel approach using high-resolution helicopter-borne gravity data to map glacier thickness at a spatial resolution of 500 meters with a precision of 50 meters. This data will be integrated with other sources, including...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) for the NISAR Mission Products, Cal/Val, and Early Science Results for Glaciers and Ice Sheets. The grant, valued at $347,099.80, is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. UC Irvine, a major public research university, has a history of providing research and development services to various federal agencies, including the Department of Defense and Department of Energy. As the parent organization, the State of California Controller's Office has also received federal grants and served as a subcontractor on federal contracts. This grant is part of NASA's efforts to support research and development related to the NISAR mission, which focuses on monitoring global environmental changes, including those affecting glaciers and ice sheets.
