About this award
The University of Maryland, College Park was awarded a $156,461 research grant (23-CRYO23-0016) on August 1, 2024, to develop Greenland Ice Sheet Model Calibrations using ensemble-based data assimilation techniques. This civilian research grant, with an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2027, supports the university's ice sheet modeling capabilities through its Office of Research Administration & Advancement. The work will be performed at the College Park, Maryland campus and represents part of the broader federal investment in cryosphere science and climate research. No set-aside designation applies to this award.
The project addresses critical research needs in understanding ice sheet dynamics and improving predictive models of Greenland ice mass changes through advanced data assimilation methodologies. This type of research typically supports federal climate monitoring and environmental assessment objectives, aligning with the scientific priorities of civilian agencies focused on earth science and climate change impacts. The University of Maryland's extensive infrastructure for computational modeling and earth science research positions it well to execute this technical work, contributing to the nation's climate science capabilities and informing policy decisions regarding sea level rise and climate adaptation strategies.
