- 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 NNX17AG54G, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington. The $750,286.13 grant funds research to analyze changes in the elevation of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet over a 15-year period, using data from various satellite missions. The goal is to provide a longer-term context for interpreting observations from the upcoming ICESat-2 mission, which will measure ice loss in the...
- 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 federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0954, was granted to the University of Washington (UW) by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to conduct research using measurements from the ICESat-2 satellite and other platforms. The purpose is to improve models of critical glacier flow processes and reconstruct glacier flow of the recent past. This $613,482 grant has an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2026 and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Washington is...
- This federal contract award, valued at $367,366.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct an "Ice Mass Balance Inter Comparison Exercise" research project. The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. UW, a prominent public research university, has extensive experience supporting federal agencies through contract and grant awards across various...
- The federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC24K1449, is for a grant to the University of Washington to conduct research on "APPLICATION OF NEW IN-SITU AND REMOTE SENSING TOOLS FOR UNDERSTANDING ANTARCTIC SEA ICE DYNAMICS AND THERMODYNAMICS." The award, valued at $461,000.00, is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, and has a period of performance ending on September 30, 2027. The University of Washington is the prime...
- This federal contract award, valued at $4,983,843.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on the decline of Arctic sea ice cover. The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. UW is a prominent research institution with expertise in fields such as climate science, oceanography, and interdisciplinary innovation. Through this contract, UW will leverage its extensive...
- The University of Washington was awarded a $450,000 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. The grant is for cryospheric studies to improve estimates of sea ice trends and variability over the last two decades through data assimilation, and to investigate the mechanisms explaining the observed trends and variability. No set-aside designation was used. The period of performance is from March 15, 2021 through March 14, 2025. The award was made directly...
- 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 is a federal contract award to the University of Washington for research services related to modeling the response of the Smith/Pope/Kohler glacier system in West Antarctica to different initial conditions and parameterizations of sub-shelf melting and ice shelf weakening. The contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, with a ceiling value of $99,370.82 and a period of performance ending on February 11, 2020. There is no set-aside designation for this award. The research aims to evaluate the model's ability to reproduce current glacier behavior and assess the likely future evolution of the system, which has implications for the ongoing retreat of the Thwaites Glacier and sea-level rise.
