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 federal contract award, with ID NNX16AC32G, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Grants and Contracts Administration Division. The $3,167,411.23 award is for UAF to perform airborne missions in Alaska to conduct laser altimetry, surface mapping with lidar, and bed mapping radar measurements. This work will extend and link the measurements from past and current NASA satellite missions, such as ICESat, ICESat-2, and...
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 contract award, identified as 80NSSC20K0658, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) for a research project focused on advancing remote sensing observations for sea ice research. The $104,617.22 grant is intended to provide an early career investigator the opportunity to engage with a decadal survey mission and develop expertise in this field. The contract, which does not carry a set-aside designation, was...
This is a federal grant award from the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) for a project titled "HIGH MOUNTAIN ASIA AND BEYOND: REGIONAL CHANGES IN CLIMATE, GLACIERS AND WATER RESOURCES". The $365,725 grant will support research on the impacts of climate change on glaciers, snow cover, and hydrology in the High Mountain Asia region, which provides critical freshwater resources to over 1.3 billion people. The award has no set-aside...
This federal contract award is a grant provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks to conduct research on the mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets and the resulting regional sea-level changes. The research will involve projecting the mass changes of glaciers worldwide using a global-scale mass-balance model, combining these estimates with existing projections for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, and modeling the resulting regional-scale relative sea-level variations in response to glacial isostatic adjustment and gravitational effects. The $1,039,058.00 grant was awarded on August 22, 2017, and the project is scheduled for completion on August 21, 2022. This award is not associated with a set-aside contract and is directly responsive to the NASA Sea Level Change Science Team research announcement.
