About this award
The University of Maryland, College Park has been awarded a $512.8K research grant (Contract 23-CRYO23-0013) by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to improve sea ice surface melt predictions through state-of-the-art satellite data and advanced model physics. The grant runs through December 31, 2027, and represents a non-set-aside, competitive award to support fundamental and applied scientific research. As a research-intensive, land-grant institution, UMD is well-positioned to deliver the sophisticated technical and computational capabilities required for this climate science initiative, which aligns with the university's extensive experience in satellite monitoring, environmental studies, and advanced modeling across multiple federal agencies including NASA and NOAA.
This research effort supports critical climate and environmental monitoring objectives by leveraging satellite-based observations to enhance the accuracy of sea ice melt forecasting models. UMD's award reflects the university's established capabilities in climate science, computational modeling, and remote sensing applications. The work will be performed at UMD's College Park, Maryland campus, where the university maintains strong research infrastructure and expertise in processing and analyzing geospatial data. This grant contributes to the broader national effort to improve understanding and prediction of Arctic and polar climate dynamics, which have significant implications for climate change monitoring and environmental assessment.
