- This is a $461,480 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) on June 2, 2018. The grant supports research to better quantify the uncertainty and model the runoff production from surface melt, which is a key component of the mass loss of the Greenland ice sheet. The research will leverage data from automated weather stations, snow pits, and ice cores to evaluate the ability of regional atmospheric climate models...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to conduct gravity sounding research on glaciers in southern Greenland. The $984,614 grant will enable UC Irvine to employ a novel approach using high-resolution helicopter-borne gravity data to map glacier thickness at a spatial resolution of 500 meters with a precision of 50 meters. This data will be integrated with other sources, including...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) for the NISAR Mission Products, Cal/Val, and Early Science Results for Glaciers and Ice Sheets. The grant, valued at $347,099.80, is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. UC Irvine, a major public research university, has a history of providing research and development services to various federal agencies, including the...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) for $1,774,769.92. The grant is for research to develop new probabilistic, global and local sea-level projections that link physical models with observations of sea level and ice sheet changes. The goal is to reduce uncertainty in predicting future sea-level rise by extending ice sheet models with new glaciological processes, coupling with...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K1618, was granted to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The 3-year, $135,000.00 grant is for a research project that explores the physics driving short-term dynamics and addresses the question of ice shelf stability in northern Greenland, using a combination of remote sensing and modeling techniques. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, as...
- This is a $135,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) on September 1, 2018. The grant supports research to characterize the topology and flux partition characteristics of Arctic delta channel networks and their connectivity with thermokarst lakes. The goal is to improve understanding of how localized changes in connectivity drive system-wide response and reorganization in...
- This federal contract award, valued at $525,077, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to conduct research on ice sheet contributions to global sea level rise. The research project, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to improve the methodology for producing mass concentration (mascon) solutions from data collected by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow-On...
- This federal contract award, valued at $2,385,495.69, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) under a cooperative agreement. The objective is to produce new Earth Science Data Records (ESDRs) to support the understanding of ice sheet dynamics and their contribution to sea level rise. Key deliverables include monthly ice motion maps, a new bed topography and ice thickness model for Antarctica, annual grounding line...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC24K0038, was issued by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) for a research project titled "DETERMINING THE ROLE OF EXTREME PRECIPITATION EVENTS ON SURFACE MASS BALANCE IN EAST ANTARCTICA FROM ICESAT/GRACE DATA, CLIMATE MODELS, AND AUTOMATED WEATHER STATIONS". The $150,000.00 grant-funded contract has a completion date of October 3, 2026 and does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $2,856,673.00 Cooperative Agreement awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) for the "EARTH SYSTEM DATA RECORD OF ICE MOTION, GROUNDING LINE, AND BED TOPOGRAPHY IN ANTARCTICA FROM NISAR AND OTHER SENSORS" project. The award has an ultimate completion date of July 26, 2028. UC Irvine, a non-profit educational institution, will perform the work at its facilities in Irvine, California. This contract is not set aside for any...
This is a $118,512.21 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine), a major public research university located in California. The contract aims to use data assimilation techniques to better understand the processes driving the rapid changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet and improve projections of its contribution to sea level rise. This effort will combine NASA's Ice Sheet System Model with remote sensing data. UC Irvine, which has a history of providing research and development services to federal agencies, is the prime contractor on this award. The parent organization is the State of California Controller's Office, a U.S. state government entity. No set-aside designation was indicated. This contract appears to support NASA's broader efforts to study the impacts of climate change on the Greenland Ice Sheet and sea levels.
