- This federal contract award supports continued development of the ATL08 algorithm for the NASA ICESat-2 satellite mission. The $145,484 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Austin Applied Research Laboratories Division. The purpose is to ensure continuity of personnel working on the ATL08 algorithm and build confidence that it is ready to process the large volume of data once ICESat-2 begins...
- The University of Texas at Austin Applied Research Laboratories (UT Austin ARL) has been awarded a $148,810 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop a global land and vegetation gridded product (ATL18) based on data from the ICESat-2 satellite. This research effort aims to provide the terrestrial science community with accurate terrain and canopy height data at 1-kilometer resolution or better, which is critical for understanding land surface...
- This $148,038.31 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) Applied Research Laboratories (ARL) Division. The purpose of the grant is to develop a methodology for producing a gridded global terrain and canopy height product from the data collected by the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission. The objectives include analyzing and visualizing the ICESat-2...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AB50G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin Applied Research Laboratories (UT Austin ARL) to support the creation of the ICESat-2 ATL18 algorithm theoretical basis. The key objective is to develop accurate global products of terrain heights, canopy heights, and canopy cover at moderate spatial resolution to support terrestrial and climate studies. The $149,904.21 grant will leverage data...
- This is a $728,693 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) for ICESAT-2 Bathymetric Studies, Product Development and Data Validation. This research grant supports the development of capabilities related to the ICESat-2 satellite mission, which uses laser altimetry to measure changes in the elevation of Earth's ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice. UT Austin, as a major public research university, has an extensive...
- This is a $134,914.15 federal contract award from the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Texas at Austin's Applied Research Laboratories Division (UT Austin ARL). The objective of the project is to develop data sets and assess the performance of the ATL08 algorithms for the ICESat-2 ATLAS instrument in a variety of ecosystems, as the existing photon counting data has been limited. The contract leverages existing small-footprint, full-waveform and dense discrete...
- The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) received a $73,559.85 research grant from a civilian federal agency (via the Shared Services Center) on February 3, 2023, to support ground-based validation for ICESat-2 data products and measurements. ICESat-2, operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is a satellite mission that measures ice sheet elevation, sea ice thickness, and vegetation characteristics using laser altimetry technology. Ground-based validation efforts are...
- This federal contract award to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) supports the development of the ATL18 gridded products for the Land and Vegetation Data Products under the IceSat-2 mission. The $218,837 grant-based contract will create 1 km gridded data products for both terrain and canopy heights using data from the ATL08 data product. The baseline gridded products will be generated once every few years, with the first release comprised of the first six years of the mission. The...
- This federal contract award to the University of Texas at Austin Applied Research Laboratories (UT Austin ARL) supports a NASA ICE, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) validation activity. The $409,425.15 grant will leverage past work on the original ICESat mission to conduct independent assessments of the satellite's geolocation and elevation measurement accuracy once the laser altimeter is on-orbit. The work will focus on using ground-based corner cube retro-reflectors and...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AT04G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin Applied Research Laboratories (UT Austin ARL) to support the ICESAT-2 LASER REFERENCE SYSTEM CHROMATIC ABERRATION MITIGATION program. The $149,221.86 grant will fund research using an interlaced batch least squares method to estimate and address chromatic aberration in the ICESAT-2 laser reference system, in order to produce an improved attitude...
