About this award
The Regents of the University of Colorado received a research grant valued at $622,615 from a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026. This grant supports a multidisciplinary research initiative examining Earth's energy imbalance and its relationship to regional sea level rise. The project leverages satellite observations from NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites, combined with complementary reanalysis data (MERRA-2 and ECCOV4) and satellite altimetry to quantify the drivers of regional sea level variations during the satellite altimeter era. The research aims to improve understanding of spatial patterns in sea level rise, which currently averages 3.4 millimeters annually but shows substantial regional deviations.
The project has two primary objectives: first, to use Terra and Aqua satellite data to quantify energy flows driving regional sea level rise through an integrated observational analysis combining satellite retrievals with atmospheric and ocean reanalysis data, and second, to utilize this analysis to assess climate model simulations from NCAR and NASA, identify dominant biases, and inform model development and projections for multidecadal regional sea level rise predictions. The research is motivated by recent findings indicating the emergence of climate-change forced responses in regional sea level data and the potential for predicting the rise trajectory in coming decades. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, and the work will be performed at the University of Colorado's Boulder, Colorado campus.
