- This is a $104,999.97 training grant contract awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Pittsburgh. The contract aims to conduct graduate research to address multiple questions of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, with a focus on understanding active volcanic processes and their impact on the Earth's atmosphere and climate. The research will leverage data from satellite sensors, including the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), to study...
- This is a $420,696.71 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on improving fault slip estimates for large magnitude earthquakes. The goal is to better understand the natural hazards associated with earthquakes in order to enhance mitigation and preparation efforts. The research will focus on using a range of geodetic data to produce accurate estimates of fault slip across the entire...
- 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...
- This $293,761 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh supports a research project focused on acquiring and modeling new thermal infrared geostationary (GEO) observations from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on the GOES-16/17 satellites. The project is divided into three primary volcanological science tasks. The University of Pittsburgh, a major public research university, frequently partners with government agencies...
- This $87,619.49 federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the volcanic and eolian history of the Daedalia Planum region on Mars. The research objectives are to: (1) extract thermophysical information from lava flow surfaces, (2) model the infrared spectral data of bedrock outcrops to determine composition, and (3) examine variations in flow surface characteristics to constrain the volcanic and...
- This $366,015 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) will fund research to improve understanding of volcanic processes on Mars. The research aims to validate terrestrial lava flow propagation models for Martian applications, determine eruption conditions that produced Martian lava flows, and assess variations in flow rheology and crystal content. The work leverages data from the recent 2012-2013 Tolbachik...
- The University of Pittsburgh has been awarded a $663,640 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "Validating Volcanic Degassing Retrievals Using a Novel Ground Based Thermal Infrared Camera System Preparing for the Upcoming SBG Mission." The grant, which runs through February 2027, will support the university's work on validating remote sensing methods for monitoring volcanic gas emissions in preparation for an upcoming NASA...
- This federal contract award to Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona, is for the investigation of geologic and topographic settings, as well as triggers, of large historic, prehistoric, and future landslides in the Himalaya and Karakoram regions. The $1,345,672.34 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will enable PSI to model the susceptibility of the terrain to produce similar large landslides in the future due...
- This is a $299,865.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh for a research project titled "Towards Generalizable, Fair, and Knowledge Guided Machine Learning for Monitoring Earth Systems".
