About this award

This is a $474,738 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants, a state-run institution of higher education. The grant is for a research project aimed at improving the understanding of meltwater evolution and its effects on ice sheet hydrofracture and instability at depths up to tens of meters. This grant is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Colorado is the prime contractor on this grant, and no major subcontractors are mentioned. Given the University's expertise in space physics, climate science, and engineering, this grant award is likely part of NASA's broader efforts to advance scientific knowledge and support its mission-critical research on the effects of climate change on polar ice sheets.

Description

The key objective of the proposed project is to improve current understanding of surface, near-surface (~meters depths), and subsurface (~tens of meters depths) meltwater evolution (firn aquifers and meltwater ponds) on hydrofracture, instability, an
