- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $156,461.00 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on calibrating Greenland ice sheet models using ensemble-based data assimilation. The grant, which has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2027, is part of NASA's broader research and development efforts related to climate and Earth science. As a state-controlled institution of higher learning, the University of Maryland has extensive...
- The University of Maryland, College Park has been awarded a $495,000 research grant by a civilian federal agency (identified as a Shared Services Center) to improve surface mass balance estimates for the Greenland Ice Sheet through assimilation of ICESat-2 satellite products. The research will be conducted at the University of Maryland's College Park campus and is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2026. As a child entity under the University System of Maryland, UMD leverages its extensive...
- This federal contract award is a $119,999.67 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant is for research to investigate the impact of surface melt water on fast-flowing, marine-terminating outlet glaciers over Greenland, building upon previous work examining hydrologic-induced shear weakening over the margins of Jakobshavn Isbr. The research will use numerical ice flow models to quantify the impact of reduced basal...
- This is a $254,498.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research related to quantifying hydrologic and cryospheric changes and associated mechanisms. The scope of work includes constructing databases of ground-based snow depth and satellite-based passive microwave measurements, designing numerical experiments, analyzing model outputs, and supervising a Ph.D. student. The grant is part of a larger...
- This $155,143.95 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on the percolation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GRIS). The research aims to leverage NASA's IceBridge radar data to update the spatial extent of the percolation zone from 2009 to the present, evaluate variability in the transitional zone between the ablation and percolation facies, and assess how changes in the percolation facies...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $565,332.78 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research utilizing satellite laser and radar altimeter data to study Arctic sea ice thickness and volume changes over the past two decades.
