- This $312,443.60 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to estimate snow emissivity over the United States. The project will integrate multi-frequency passive microwave data, land surface temperature, and albedo measurements into a data assimilation framework using the Land Information System (LIS). The goal is to improve snow emissivity estimates by incorporating remote sensing data and snowpack-microwave...
- This is a $254,498.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research related to quantifying hydrologic and cryospheric changes and associated mechanisms. The scope of work includes constructing databases of ground-based snow depth and satellite-based passive microwave measurements, designing numerical experiments, analyzing model outputs, and supervising a Ph.D. student. The grant is part of a larger...
- This is a $492,147 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research on "Toward Ice Sheet Surface Data Assimilation: Employing Satellite Observations and Machine Learning to Improve Model Representation of Ice Sheet Surface Melt."

- This is a $105,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The contract is focused on improving the characterization of snow water equivalent (SWE) across regional and continental scales using passive microwave (PMW) brightness temperature (TB) observations from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) instrument. The objective is to decouple non-SWE related signals from the PMW TB data to...
- The University of Maryland, College Park received a $360,839 grant award (21-PMMST21-0086) from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on snowfall type classification for improving passive microwave falling snow estimation and retrieval. The project, which began on March 1, 2022 and concludes on December 31, 2026, addresses critical gaps in the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission's Goddard Profiling (GPROF) algorithm for detecting snowfall from space-based observations. Current...
