This is a federal research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to improve the constraints on estimating mass changes in the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The $149,999.94 grant will fund research into two main areas: 1) assessing changes in surface roughness and melting of the Greenland ice sheet over the past 20 years, and 2) classifying the types of...
This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant is for research focused on studying the Thwaites Glacier and the Amundsen Sea Sector of West Antarctica, which are losing mass at a faster rate than any other region of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is for...
This is a $91,027.48 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado for research on Antarctic ice heights and changes over time. The project will create a digital elevation model (DEM) database from satellite imagery collected between 2009 and 2016, co-register the satellite DEMs to airborne laser altimetry data, and use deep learning to co-register historical aerial photography to the satellite imagery and DEMs. The goal is to produce...
This federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, to map the surface mass balance (SMB) of the Antarctic ice sheet at high resolution using a combination of satellite altimetry data and atmospheric reanalysis. The goal is to better understand the dynamics and contribution of ice sheet elevation changes to sea level rise. The $616,158.82 grant does not have...
The University of Colorado, Boulder, received a $858,863.99 grant from NASA to create an integrated time series of altimetry-based elevation models using data from various satellite and airborne altimetry instruments, including ICESat-2. The goal is to improve understanding of mass balance, surface melting, and energy fluxes in the climate system, particularly for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research directly supports NASA's Earth Science Research Opportunities in Space and Earth...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GRIS). The research aims to determine if a connection exists between subsurface meltwater and changes in the surface height of the GRIS due to densification or drainage, in order to better understand the overall mass balance...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for $329,659.15. The grant is funding research to investigate the spatial and temporal variability of water storage in aquifers hidden below the surface of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This research aims to improve understanding of meltwater production, transport, storage, and evacuation...
This is a $720,771.62 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants. The grant, titled "Bridging the Snow - Sea Ice Gap: A Snow on Sea Ice Assimilation System for the Arctic", aims to develop daily and monthly snow depth and density products to support improved satellite-based measurements of sea ice thickness. This information is critical for understanding and predicting changes in...
This is a $450,340.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant is for a research project focused on understanding the export of grounded ice from Antarctica's floating glacial ice shelves through calving and basal ice shelf melt, particularly in the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE) region where there have been accelerated...
This is a $474,738 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants, a state-run institution of higher education. The grant is for a research project aimed at improving the understanding of meltwater evolution and its effects on ice sheet hydrofracture and instability at depths up to tens of meters. This grant is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. The...
