The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $503,541 grant to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a non-profit institute specializing in oceanographic research. The grant is for research to study the factors contributing to Antarctic ice sheet mass loss, including basal melting and the calving of icebergs from ice shelves. ESR has previously received multiple prime and subcontract awards from NASA to conduct research on topics such as sea surface salinity, ocean eddies,...
This is a $1,124,316.97 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute. The grant is for a research project investigating the dynamic nature of marine eco-regions in the North Pacific using biological datasets and satellite oceanographic data. The project aims to study how "Meso-Marine Ecosystems" (MMEs) may move in response to changing ocean conditions,...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $457,477 grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on Antarctica's ice shelves. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is focused on examining the processes of basal melting and calving that contribute to the loss of mass in these floating extensions of the Antarctic ice sheet. This research grant, with a completion date of March 14, 2025, aligns with Columbia...
This federal contract award to Point Reyes Bird Observatory, doing business as Point Blue Conservation Science, is for a grant to execute a balanced science program focused on discipline-specific guidance, administration priorities, and direction from Congress. The $475,948 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will support the organization's work as a key partner and enabler in NASA's exploration initiative, with a focus on scientific research of, on, and...
This is a $1,478,914.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, a private non-profit research organization, to study how Antarctic marine predator populations will respond to climate variability and change. The grant aims to quantify the dependence of ecosystems on environmental conditions to enable future prediction. This research supports NASA's climate science and environmental monitoring programs. The grant does...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $510,540 grant for research to Point Reyes Bird Observatory, also known as Point Blue Conservation Science, a non-profit organization. The grant funds a project to integrate remote sensing and ecological forecasting into decision support for wetland wildlife management in California's Central Valley. The project aims to optimize water management and habitat connectivity to support multiple benefits for the environment and...
This is a $1,619,471.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, for a project titled "ADVANCING REMOTE SENSING INSIGHT INTO COASTAL SEA ICE ECOSYSTEMS". The grant, which has no set-aside designation, supports WHOI's research on using remote sensing techniques to study coastal sea ice ecosystems. The project has an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2025....
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to BC Scientific Consulting LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, to extend long-term microwave measurements of ozone, chlorine monoxide, and water vapor at sites in Hawaii, New Zealand, California, and Antarctica. The measurements have been part of the Network for Atmospheric Composition Change since the 1990s and provide essential data for monitoring ozone recovery and understanding the role of water...
This federal contract award to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute, is for a project titled "ICESat 2 Science Team Observing and Quantifying Interactions Between Sea Ice, Ice Shelves, Icebergs and the Ocean Around Antarctica Using ICESat 2 Altimetry." The $590,208 grant-funded research project, awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center, will focus on using data from the ICESat-2 satellite to study the interactions between sea ice, ice shelves, icebergs, and...
