This is a $91,027.48 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado for research on Antarctic ice heights and changes over time. The project will create a digital elevation model (DEM) database from satellite imagery collected between 2009 and 2016, co-register the satellite DEMs to airborne laser altimetry data, and use deep learning to co-register historical aerial photography to the satellite imagery and DEMs. The goal is to produce...
This $2,360,091.00 federal grant award to Colorado State University (CSU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) aims to integrate innovative observation capabilities into coupled wildfire models for improved active fire forecasting. The 3-year project, which runs through August 2026, involves developing advanced technologies to enhance wildfire monitoring and predictive modeling. CSU, a public land-grant research university, has extensive expertise in environmental...
This is a $254,240.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant is for research to derive high-resolution surface height and roughness data from NASA's ICESat-2 satellite altimetry, with the goal of detecting glacial changes and glacier-related catastrophes in High-Mountain Asia.

This is a $415,089.67 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a project titled "Interlinked Glacier Dynamics, Lakes, Mountain Hazards, and Critical Vulnerabilities in the Himalaya." The project aims to explore the links between mountain hazards, glaciers, permafrost, snowfields, glacial lakes, and unstable mountain slopes in High Mountain Asia, particularly Nepal, and examine potential downstream impacts of glacier lake...
This is a $985,672.09 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a research-focused public institution, for a study on the interactions between extreme precipitation, wildfires, earthquakes, and mass movements that can lead to cascading hazards and large-scale disasters. The research will leverage multiple NASA remote sensing data sets in conjunction with in-situ observations and advanced hydrologic and fluvial modeling to improve understanding of the triggering mechanisms for mass movements and associated cascading hazards across four study regions in western North America. The proposed work directly addresses NASA's Interdisciplinary Research in Earth Science program goals related to linking fluvial and solid earth hazards, developing predictive models, and scaling local processes to regional and global sediment transport. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
