- This is a federal research 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, to improve the constraints on estimating mass changes in the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The $149,999.94 grant will fund research into two main areas: 1) assessing changes in surface roughness and melting of the Greenland ice sheet over the past 20 years, and 2) classifying the types of...
- This is a $100,803.88 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, an accredited public research university, to conduct research on monitoring and measuring changes in the mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research aims to improve predictive models for sea level rise by analyzing surface mass balance and firn structure data collected during NASA's Operation IceBridge airborne survey missions. The grant supports...
- This federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, to map the surface mass balance (SMB) of the Antarctic ice sheet at high resolution using a combination of satellite altimetry data and atmospheric reanalysis. The goal is to better understand the dynamics and contribution of ice sheet elevation changes to sea level rise. The $616,158.82 grant does not have...
- This federal contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), provides $644,796 in funding to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on improving estimates of Greenland ice sheet mass balance. The project aims to combine data from altimetry, gravimetry, and in-situ measurements with electromagnetic and regional climate modeling to generate more accurate long-term estimates of mass changes in the Greenland ice sheet between...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $482,189 grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to develop multi-decadal time series of elevation and mass balance changes of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research will utilize the Surface Elevation Reconstruction and Change (SERAC) detection approach to analyze historical laser altimetry data, IceBridge airborne laser altimetry observations, and CryoSat-2 radar altimetry...
- The University of Colorado, Boulder, received a $858,863.99 grant from NASA to create an integrated time series of altimetry-based elevation models using data from various satellite and airborne altimetry instruments, including ICESat-2. The goal is to improve understanding of mass balance, surface melting, and energy fluxes in the climate system, particularly for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research directly supports NASA's Earth Science Research Opportunities in Space and Earth...
- This is a $677,471 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division for research on "Bayesian Quantification of Antarctic Surface Mass Balance". The research aims to use statistical modeling and data compilation to map the spatial and temporal variations in surface mass balance over the Antarctic ice sheet, which is essential for understanding ice sheet response to climate change and associated sea...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park, with a ceiling value of $98,100.38. The objective of the work is to develop a time-series of surface change along the Summit Traverse in Greenland, and to determine the local surface roughness along the traverse. This will support calibration and validation of measurements from the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission. The award does not have...
- 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 is a $603,355 grant award from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, a private research university, for research related to ice shelves in Antarctica. The research aims to understand how ice shelf thinning impacts the flow of the adjacent grounded ice sheet, which mediates ice-ocean interactions and regulates Antarctica's contribution to sea level rise. This grant does not have a...
