About this award
The University of Maryland, College Park has been awarded a $278,515 grant by a civilian federal agency to characterize seasonal and diurnal cloud and aerosol variability using improved ICESat-2 (Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2) atmospheric products. The research effort, which commenced on April 21, 2023, is scheduled for completion by April 20, 2026 and will be conducted at the University of Maryland's College Park campus. This award represents a non-set-aside research grant supporting scientific investigation into atmospheric phenomena using advanced satellite remote sensing data and improved analytical methodologies.
The University of Maryland, College Park operates under its parent organization, the University System of Maryland, and maintains a strong track record of federal research funding across multiple scientific domains including climate science, space exploration, and Earth observation studies. The research supported under this grant will contribute to enhanced understanding of cloud and aerosol behavior patterns, which is critical for climate modeling, weather prediction, and atmospheric science applications. Such work aligns with the broader federal investment in improving satellite-based Earth observation capabilities through NASA's ICESat-2 mission, which collects high-resolution data on cloud properties, aerosols, and other atmospheric constituents essential for advancing climate and environmental science.
