- This is a federal grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute, for a study titled "Understanding the Climate Drivers of Antarctic Ice Shelf Changes Through Analyses of Multi-Mission Satellite Data". The grant, valued at $953,819, runs from February 2017 to July 2021. The study aims to develop techniques to extend the record of Antarctic ice shelf height changes using data from ESA's CryoSat-2 radar altimeter and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $410,512.94 grant to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to conduct research on improving the simulation of Antarctic sea ice changes in the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System Model, Version 5 (GEOS-5). The proposed work involves using coupled replay simulations and observations to quantify the impact of atmospheric and oceanic processes on Antarctic sea ice variability and trends. The research aims to address...
- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $503,541 grant to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a non-profit institute specializing in oceanographic research. The grant is for research to study the factors contributing to Antarctic ice sheet mass loss, including basal melting and the calving of icebergs from ice shelves. ESR has previously received multiple prime and subcontract awards from NASA to conduct research on topics such as sea surface salinity, ocean eddies,...
- This is a $750,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) over a five-year period from 2017 to 2022. The purpose is to partially cover the expenses associated with the activities and operations of the Polar Research Board (PRB), which serves as the U.S. National Committee to the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC). The PRB provides expert advice to NASA and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $457,477 grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on Antarctica's ice shelves. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is focused on examining the processes of basal melting and calving that contribute to the loss of mass in these floating extensions of the Antarctic ice sheet. This research grant, with a completion date of March 14, 2025, aligns with Columbia...
- This is a $1,619,471.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, for a project titled "ADVANCING REMOTE SENSING INSIGHT INTO COASTAL SEA ICE ECOSYSTEMS". The grant, which has no set-aside designation, supports WHOI's research on using remote sensing techniques to study coastal sea ice ecosystems. The project has an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2025....
- This is a $1,478,914.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, a private non-profit research organization, to study how Antarctic marine predator populations will respond to climate variability and change. The grant aims to quantify the dependence of ecosystems on environmental conditions to enable future prediction. This research supports NASA's climate science and environmental monitoring programs. The grant does...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $464,616.00 grant to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Grants and Contracts Administration Division, operating as Grants & Contracts. This research grant will advance scientific understanding of sea ice processes, sea ice-ocean-atmosphere interactions, and their impact on the global climate, aligning with NASA's Earth Science goals. The work supports the Cryospheric Science proposal call in the Research...
- This is a $110,875 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Terra Research Inc., a for-profit research company based in Hoboken, New Jersey. The objective of the grant is to better understand the complex interactions between atmosphere and sea ice through a large volume of observational datasets, reanalyses, and climate modeling. This research project, titled "Using Satellite Observations and Climate Modeling to Study the Interactions of Sea Ice,...
This is a $146,380.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to plan a workshop to bring together Antarctic sea ice experts. The workshop will review the current science on climate-ocean-ice interactions in the Southern Hemisphere, with a focus on the record extents of Antarctic sea ice observed in the last 3 years, which are at odds with climate model forecasts. The workshop aims to examine the processes governing decadal-scale growth and recent surge in Antarctic sea ice extent, projections of future changes, and identify research needed to improve understanding of current and future Antarctic sea ice changes. This grant is not associated with a set-aside contract and is part of NAS's extensive portfolio of federal contracts and grants to provide research, analysis, and technical advisory services to various government agencies.
