This federal contract is a $1,062,623.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) for research related to characterizing major hydrology-driven landslides in the northwestern United States using radar remote sensing techniques. The project aims to create a unified framework for modeling rapidly accelerating and slow-moving landslides by integrating data from satellite-based precipitation and soil moisture measurements with...
This is a $138,495.58 grant contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) to assess the hazards of densely-vegetated deep-seated landslides in the Pacific Northwest using P-band Airborne Microwave Observatory of Subcanopy and Subsurface (AIRMOSS) technology. SMU, a private research university located in Dallas, Texas, will conduct this research through its Office of Research and Innovation Division. The contract, which does...
This contract award to Southern Methodist University (SMU) is part of NASA's NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission to develop advanced techniques for improving ground surface deformation mapping, 3D deformation mapping, and atmospheric path delay mitigation. SMU will provide algorithm development, calibration/validation, and inputs to refine NISAR's scientific and technical capabilities during Phases B, C, and D of the mission. The university has extensive experience in SAR/InSAR...
This is a $396,304 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) to leverage their expertise in InSAR data analysis, numerical modeling, and the study of volcanoes, landslides, and other geophysical processes. The award is not set aside for any specific business category. As a member of the NISAR Science Definition Team from 2013-2016 and Science Team from 2016-2019, SMU will apply their experience with the NISAR mission to...
This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AL10G, was granted to Southern Methodist University (SMU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate and monitor surface subsidence, ground ruptures, and sinkhole development in the Gulf Coast region using advanced interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques. The $550,099 grant aims to construct annual subsidence maps, classify local subsidence areas, map faults, and characterize sinkhole development over...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $88,700 grant to Southern Methodist University (SMU) to conduct research on characterizing the role of faults, geology, and hydrocarbon production-induced stress changes on surface deformation in the Permian Basin using interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) analysis and poroelastic modeling. This research grant, with a performance period ending on June 30, 2026, is not set aside for any specific business...
