This $135,000 training grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The University, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, will conduct research to improve understanding of thunderstorm processes and their association with severe weather phenomena, such as lightning, wind, and gamma ray flashes. The project will utilize data from NASA's Geostationary Lightning Mapper, the National Lightning Detection Network, and space-based gamma ray telescopes to characterize energetic intra-cloud lightning discharges and their connection to terrestrial gamma ray flashes. This research aligns with NASA's objectives to advance knowledge of Earth systems and environmental change. No set-aside designation was used for this award.
