About this award
The University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) has been awarded a $495,000 grant by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center to conduct research on improving Greenland ice sheet surface mass balance estimates through assimilation of ICESat-2 products. This grant supports fundamental scientific research aimed at enhancing understanding of ice sheet dynamics and surface mass balance changes by integrating satellite data from NASA's ICESat-2 mission. The research will be conducted at UMD's College Park, Maryland campus and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026. As a research-intensive institution and 1862 land grant university, UMD is well-positioned to conduct this climate science research, having previously received significant federal funding for climate-related investigations and Earth science studies from agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation.
This grant carries no set-aside designation, indicating UMD's competitive selection based on technical merit and research capabilities. The award is made to UMD as a child entity of the University System of Maryland, which serves as the parent organization. The research contributes to broader federal climate science initiatives focused on understanding ice sheet behavior and its implications for sea level change, aligning with national priorities in environmental monitoring and climate research supported through various federal science agencies.
