About this award

This is a $1,061,930.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to conduct research on glacier runoff in High Mountain Asia (HMA). The research aims to study the timing and amount of peak water flow from melting glaciers, which has significant implications for the over 1 billion people who rely on this water source. The grant is part of a larger research effort and is not associated with a set-aside contract. CMU, a leading research university known for its expertise in areas like artificial intelligence, robotics, and materials science, will leverage its capabilities to deliver this project, which has a period of performance through August 2025. The university frequently partners with federal agencies like NASA to advance scientific understanding and technological capabilities in domains of national importance.

Description

Glacier runoff in high mountain asia (HMA) is projected to reach a maximum in the middle of the century and decline thereafter. The timing and amount of this peak water has significant implications for the more than 1 billion people relying on this
