About this award
The Ohio State University's Office of Sponsored Programs has been awarded a $942,218 research grant (23-SWOTST23-0069) by a civilian federal agency to advance the accuracy of discharge measurements for the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. The project, titled "Enabling Exploration of Earth's Water Cycle: Moving the Needle on SWOT Discharge Accuracy Through Ground-Breaking Advances," will be performed in Columbus, Ohio, with a completion date of August 1, 2028. This grant award carries no set-aside designation and represents a continuation of OSU's substantial research portfolio supporting federal scientific initiatives across multiple agencies and disciplines.
The SWOT mission, a joint effort between NASA and the French space agency, aims to advance understanding of global water resources and ocean dynamics through satellite-based observations. OSU's research contribution will focus on enhancing the precision of river discharge calculations derived from SWOT data, a critical capability for improving hydrological monitoring, water resource management, and climate research. This award reflects the university's established expertise in environmental science research and its role as a premier research institution delivering sophisticated scientific solutions to federal government agencies across civilian sectors.
