- This federal contract award to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) aims to improve the accuracy of earthquake source models and Earth velocity models by reconciling data from InSAR and seismic methods. The $103,384.62 award, granted by the NASA Shared Services Center, supports research to better constrain earthquake locations and source mechanisms, which is critical for hazard assessment and forecasting. The project leverages upcoming satellite missions like...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The $352,684.99 grant is for the recipient to contribute to the development of the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission through supporting the Science Definition Team (SDT). The work will focus on using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) techniques to monitor changes in permafrost and...
- The University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a $665,939 grant award from NASA on March 9, 2023, for research titled "Strain Rate and Moment Rate in Western North America from InSAR and GNSS." The project, led by David Sandwell at UCSD in collaboration with researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, University of Hawaii, and CICESE in Mexico, addresses two critical surface deformation science questions from NASA's 2016 Earth Science...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps) is a $708,570 cooperative agreement focused on rapidly modeling earthquake sources and their impact on tsunami early warning systems. The project aims to integrate Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data and other observations into NOAA's operational tsunami warning capabilities, leveraging Scripps'...
- This is a $468,288.56 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to measure tectonic crustal strain rates along the San Andreas Fault system using a combination of InSAR and GNSS data. The goal is to accurately forecast large-scale geological hazards in a socially relevant timeframe by achieving an average velocity accuracy of 0.5 mm/yr over 10 km. This will require applying several corrections to the InSAR data, including solid...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX17AD99G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The $699,991.65 grant funds research to improve understanding of the crustal deformation and earthquake cycle using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data and complementary Earth observation datasets. The research aims to enhance estimates of earthquake and tsunami hazards,...
- This is a $339,644.46 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The grant supports a 3-year research project to measure the seismic moment accumulation rate and crustal strain rate along the San Andreas Fault System using a combination of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) data. The project aims to improve processing methods for...
- This is a $350,683 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD), specifically its Scripps Institution of Oceanography division. The grant is for a project titled "Multimodal Observations of Climate-Forced Surface Deformation and Change Using NISAR and ICESat-2", which aligns with NASA's focus on Earth science research and climate monitoring. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCSD, a...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AK58G, was granted to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue Caltech's participation on the NASA/ISRO SAR (NISAR) Science Definition Team (NSDT) and serve as the Solid Earth Science Co-Lead. NISAR is a joint Earth observation mission between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) that will use L- and S-band radar to measure surface deformation, study changes in...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 training grant to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography to study the use of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to characterize surface displacements and the effects of changing soil moisture. The research will leverage data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission and the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) to assess the impact...
This federal contract award to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography Division, worth $382,501.00, supports research on processing and modeling large volumes of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data to study the aftermath of major earthquakes in the Tibetan Plateau region. The research aims to improve understanding of earthquake cycle mechanisms, deformation processes, and seismic hazards. This contract is not set aside and is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The work will leverage high-end computing resources at NASA to generate deformation time series from SAR data and apply advanced geophysical models. The data products and analysis tools developed under this contract will support NASA's upcoming NISAR mission and be made available to the broader research community.
