- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, an educational institution, to investigate future mission architectures for Earth observation satellite systems building on the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and GRACE Follow-On programs. The research will use simulation studies to explore improved performance from constellations of small satellites capable of ranging between multiple...
- 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...
- This federal contract award, valued at $251,600.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The objective is to produce observationally constrained models of the full life cycle of snow over ice sheets, leveraging various satellite measurements, atmospheric modeling, and energy balance modeling. This research aims to improve understanding of snowfall,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $149,983 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for the project "EXPLORING ANTARCTIC GRAVITY WAVES AND THEIR EFFECTS ON GLOBAL ENERGY TRANSPORT USING A DECADE OF LIDAR OBSERVATIONS". This research grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will explore the effects of Antarctic gravity waves on global energy...
- 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...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, Boulder aims to improve estimates of Antarctic ice mass loss using data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission. The $105,000.00 contract will investigate how alternative atmospheric models can be used to better distinguish changes in ice mass from changes in atmospheric pressure. It will also assess the feasibility of incorporating future satellite gravity measurements into numerical weather prediction models. The award is not a set-aside contract. The University of Colorado has previously conducted research and provided services to NASA, the Department of Defense, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under various federal prime contracts and grants.
