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 is a $200,434 grant for research awarded by the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSC) of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU). The grant is for developing a "New Snow Observing Strategy in Support of Hydrological Science and Applications." ASU has a long history of conducting research and development work for federal agencies like NASA, having received numerous prime contracts and subcontracts over the years. This...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $352,133.54 grant for research to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY), doing business as Sponsored Projects Services. The grant is part of NASA's Sea-level Change Team (N-SLCT) solicitation and aims to contribute to characterizing current changes in sea level, understanding the underlying processes, improving knowledge of ice mass change, and projecting future sea level rise. The Research...
This is a $526,000.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University to study the influence of debris released by giant impacts on the late formation and evolution of the inner solar system. The research will use dynamical methods and results of impact simulations to understand how debris from large impacts on the terrestrial planets, such as the Moon-forming impact on Earth, may have played an important role in the evolution of...
This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University to contribute to the NASA Sea-Level Change Team (N-SLCT) through an interdisciplinary investigation addressing current and future sea level rise. The $101,752.21 grant integrates three existing NASA-funded efforts within the university group: multi-mission satellite altimetry, satellite gravimetry, and the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5) modeling system. The objectives...
This is a $596,241.98 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study the vulnerability of major U.S. coastal cities to storm surge flooding due to rising sea levels and coastal subsidence. The methods will involve analyzing tide gauge records, using a regional ocean model, and leveraging Global Positioning System (GPS) and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to quantify vertical land motion along the Pacific, Gulf, and Atlantic coasts. The research aims to identify the mechanisms driving regional sea level variations and make predictions of possible sea level excursions over the next 20-30 years. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a comprehensive public research university, ASU has a long history of conducting federally-funded research across a range of scientific domains.
