- 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 is a 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, for $329,659.15. The grant is funding research to investigate the spatial and temporal variability of water storage in aquifers hidden below the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This research aims to improve understanding of meltwater production, transport, storage, and evacuation...
- This is a $474,738 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants, a state-run institution of higher education. The grant is for a research project aimed at improving the understanding of meltwater evolution and its effects on ice sheet hydrofracture and instability at depths up to tens of meters. This grant is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. The...
- 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 federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through its Office of Contracts and Grants, aims to use remotely sensed sea surface temperature data to monitor and compare coastal and fjord warming features around the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) in relation to measured ice front retreat of major outlet glaciers since 2000. The $119,999.99 award, which is not designated as a set-aside, supports research...
- This is a $135,000.00 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 focused on studying the Thwaites Glacier and the Amundsen Sea Sector of West Antarctica, which are losing mass at a faster rate than any other region of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is for...
- This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. It is a $135,000.00 training grant to support research on ice sheet meltwater processes that impact measurements of surface mass balance and contributions to global sea level rise. The research aims to map the spatial extent of the weathering crust on the Greenland Ice Sheet,...
- This is a $720,771.62 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants. The grant, titled "Bridging the Snow - Sea Ice Gap: A Snow on Sea Ice Assimilation System for the Arctic", aims to develop daily and monthly snow depth and density products to support improved satellite-based measurements of sea ice thickness. This information is critical for understanding and predicting changes in...
- 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...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GRIS). The research aims to determine if a connection exists between subsurface meltwater and changes in the surface height of the GRIS due to densification or drainage, in order to better understand the overall mass balance and stability of the ice sheet in a changing climate. The research will utilize data from NASA's ICESat and Operation IceBridge programs, as well as field measurements and modeling. This contract is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation.
