- This $179,198.43 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University will support research to assess glacier volume change in the American West using airborne microwave sensor data. The objective is to track the magnitude and rate of alpine glacier retreat due to climate change, which impacts global sea level rise. The project will provide a baseline dataset of glacier topography that can be used to measure future volume changes. This work expands the...
- This is a $207,458.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Portland State University (PSU), a public research university in Oregon. The grant supports continued research on ocean surface tides and internal tides using satellite altimeter data, numerical modeling, and data assimilation. Key objectives include producing highly accurate global tidal atlases, investigating the stationarity of low-mode internal tides, and improving...
- This is a $302,078.02 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University (PSU) to develop a "robust indicator of extreme precipitation over the Continental United States" based on data from NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) programs. The indicator will categorize extreme precipitation events similar to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, allowing tracking of trends in...
- Portland State University was awarded a $298,737 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on July 19, 2023, to conduct flow-dependent optimization of observation performance in NASA's GEOS Hybrid 4D-ENVAR ADAS (Advanced Data Assimilation System). The project, which is scheduled for completion on July 18, 2026, represents a non-set-aside grant focused on advancing data assimilation methodologies critical to Earth observation and weather prediction capabilities. This research aligns with...
- 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...
- 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 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 to the University of Texas at Austin supports an interdisciplinary investigation of current and future sea level change as part of NASA's Sea-Level Change Team (N-SLCT) solicitation. The $100,659.98 grant will fund research to: 1) characterize changes in sea level using satellite observations, 2) model underlying processes in the GEOS-5 earth system, 3) improve knowledge of ice mass changes, and 4) project future "committed" sea level rise due to past and...
- This is a $92,488 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct three research investigations related to the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) missions. The investigations aim to: Invert a high-resolution land-ice evolution model using data from GRACE, GRACE-FO, satellite laser ranging, and altimetry missions. Estimate tides from GRACE, GRACE-FO, and satellite laser ranging...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Old Dominion University Research Foundation (ODURF) for a project titled "Understanding Sea Level Over the Last Century: What Do We Really Know?". The grant, valued at $145,243.96, aims to critically assess historical tide gauge data to improve understanding of sea level variability over the past century and provide better context for the satellite altimeter record. The project seeks to create...
