- 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 is a $712,297 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to the University of Washington (UW) for research to reconstruct and evaluate changes in polar ice mass. The award has an ultimate completion date of May 13, 2028. UW, a prominent public research university, has a track record of securing prime contracts, grants, and subcontracts from federal agencies across disciplines like medicine, engineering, and environmental science. The university often serves as...
- 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 $316,333.31 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington to study the dynamic triggers for variability in the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica. The project aims to investigate processes that may substantially affect the magnitude and rates of ice retreat and mass loss from the Thwaites Glacier, including ocean temperature changes, basal flow law variability, bedrock topography, tidal forcing,...
- 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 is a federal grant award from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) for research on the interactions between the atmosphere, clouds, and sea ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seasonal Ice Zone (BCSIZ). The research aims to advance the understanding of how synoptic weather conditions affect cloud properties and the energy exchange between the atmosphere and sea ice. The award has a ceiling value of...
- This is a $134,649.18 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to the University of Washington on September 1, 2018, with a completion date of August 31, 2021. The grant funds research to investigate the extent, resolution, and accuracy of remotely-sensed snow depth observations in complex topography, as precipitation measurements in mountainous regions are challenging. The research will evaluate the ability of simulated snow depth...
- 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 University of Washington was awarded a $61,104.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to investigate the fate of sea ice in the 'New Arctic' through June 30, 2025. This research contract does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Washington is the prime contractor and there are no major subcontractors noted. The funding is being provided by the Shared Services Center, which is a civilian agency that provides shared services...
- 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 $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 critical role in buttressing glacial flow. The award has an ultimate completion date of January 9, 2020 and does not have a set-aside designation. UW has a history of federal prime contract and grant awards, including work for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and National Institutes of Health.
