About this award
The University of Texas at Austin received a $150,000 research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to investigate Arctic coastal erosion through satellite-derived elevation modeling and ICESat-2 bathymetric data fusion. The research, led by student Jonathan Markel, addresses the rapid and irreversible erosion of Arctic permafrost coastlines that threatens coastal communities, ecosystems, and critical infrastructure, with erosion rates expected to accelerate as sea ice continues to diminish. The grant was awarded on November 17, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of November 16, 2026, and carries no set-aside designation.
This award represents UT Austin's continued engagement in advanced climate science research and demonstrates the university's extensive capabilities in executing federally funded research initiatives. As a leading public research institution, UT Austin has established a strong track record securing grants and contracts across multiple federal agencies, including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy, particularly in areas addressing climate change impacts and advanced scientific modeling. The University of Texas System, UT Austin's parent organization, serves as a multi-institution research enterprise providing sophisticated research and technological services across numerous federal programs and agencies.
