About this award
This is a $740,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin to help validate time-variable gravity data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission. The University of Texas at Austin is the prime recipient on this grant, which does not have a set-aside designation. The grant is focused on addressing challenges in validating GRACE gravity solutions due to the lack of independent mass or gravity change measurements at comparable spatial resolution. This work is part of the GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) mission. The University of Texas System is the parent organization of the University of Texas at Austin, which has a substantial track record as both a prime recipient and subrecipient on federal contracts and grants across a wide range of research areas.
Description
One of the major challenges to grace and its FO mission is how to validate grace-derived time-variable gravity solutions, due to the lack of independent measurements of mass (or gravity) changes that are comparable to grace spatial resolution.
