About this award
The University of California, Santa Barbara's Office of Research has been awarded a $185.5K grant-funded research contract by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, with performance taking place in Santa Barbara, California. The award, made on February 17, 2022, supports research objectives identified in the National Academies' 2018 decadal strategy report, "Thriving on Our Changing Planet: A Decadal Strategy for Earth Observation from Space." Specifically, the research addresses the priority objective to quantify rates of snow accumulation, snowmelt, ice melt, and sublimation from snow and ice worldwide at scales driven by topographic variability. This represents a critical Earth observation science need aligned with national priorities in climate and environmental monitoring from space-based platforms.
The contract is structured as a grant for research without any set-aside designation, reflecting UCSB's competitive selection on a full and open basis. The work is scheduled for completion by February 16, 2027, providing a multi-year research period to advance understanding of cryospheric processes through satellite-based Earth observation technologies. UCSB's involvement in this initiative leverages the university's established capabilities in climate research, remote sensing applications, and scientific development services that have supported numerous federal agencies including NASA and various shared services centers on projects spanning materials science, space technology, and environmental monitoring.
