- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a research project to develop a framework for analyzing debris-covered glaciers on Mars. The $770,270.35 grant will fund the development of a numerical model to study the formation and evolution of these glacial features, which could provide insights into Mars' past climate. The research will involve field studies of analog...
- This is a $550,080.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on the potential formation of near-surface liquid water on Mars. The research will involve a combination of field work in the Antarctic Dry Valleys, a Mars analog environment, and theoretical modeling of brine and vapor transport in permafrost soils. The goal is to better understand the chemical, mineralogical, and isotopic composition of...
- This federal grant award to the University of Washington (UW) supports research to improve the measurement and modeling of mountain snow, which is critical for understanding water supplies and ecosystems. The $1,174,641 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center and has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UW's status as a large educational institution. As a leading...
- This is a $989,657.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) for research on using new combinations of remote sensing data to estimate surface density and ice layers. The goal is to provide estimations that may equal or surpass the accuracy of computationally expensive multi-layer snow models. This is not a set-aside award. UW, as a leading research university, has a history of prime federal contract...
- This is a $104,999.11 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) on September 1, 2015. The purpose of the grant is to investigate "Triggers for the Collapse of Ice Shelves in Antarctica: Investigating Compressive Arch Failure." This research aims to understand the forces that contribute to the breakup of ice shelves, which are floating extensions of continental ice sheets that play a...
- This federal contract award is for a grant to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on leads and ridges, also known as linear kinematic features (LKFs), and their impact on the transfer of energy between the atmosphere and sea ice in the Arctic. The award, with a ceiling value of $1,268,882.00, was made on June 29, 2020, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and has an ultimate completion date of June 28, 2026. The University of Washington is a prominent...
- This is a $587,279 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to study glaciers, sea ice, and polar bears in southeast Greenland. The work will provide the first detailed characterization of glacier behavior in this region, including changes in terminus position, calving patterns, and interaction with the surrounding environment. This data will then be used to understand the relationship between the...
- This federal contract award (No. 80NSSC20K1627) was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on the Antarctic ice sheet. The $76,472.19 grant aims to use altimetric and surface velocity data to perform time-dependent inversions for basal friction and rheological parameters that govern ice flow. This award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Washington is a leading...
- This federal contract award with ID 80NSSC21K0142 was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to develop observationally constrained models of the life cycle of snow over ice sheets. The $97,725.57 grant will leverage satellite measurements, existing airborne and in-situ data, and modeling to better understand snowfall, accumulation, redistribution, and runoff over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. This research aims to...
- This contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) worth $101,290.81 was granted to the University of Texas at Austin to determine the origin of debris layers on Mars' glaciers and explore their radar properties. The project aims to integrate analysis of radar sounding data with geomorphic mapping and thermal inertia data to better understand the composition and preservation of these debris-covered glaciers. This research supports multiple NASA Science Mission...
