- This federal contract award to Stanford University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for research to advance volcano monitoring techniques using joint inversion of seismicity and geodetic observations. The $271,103.51 grant will be used to develop methods for modeling dike propagation and the onset of volcanic eruptions, building on previous work on the 2014 Bardarbunga volcano intrusion in Iceland. The research aims to improve real-time, physics-based data...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for a research project focused on improving the monitoring of volcanic activity and eruptions using satellite data. The project aims to create a 30-year global record of volcanic thermal unrest by integrating measurements from various satellite sensors, with the goal of enhancing NASA's ability to forecast volcanic behavior and mitigate its effects on society. The grant has...
- NASA has awarded a $124,867 grant to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to support Earth science activities aligned with NASA's geodesy and geosphere research priorities. This single-source award, effective from March 1, 2026 through February 28, 2027, represents a continuation of NAS's established role as a primary advisor to federal agencies on scientific and technical matters. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will leverage its extensive network of subject...
- This federal contract award, valued at $116,742.51, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) to develop physics-based models of volcanic activity in the Aleutian Island Arc. The goal is to better understand how variations in subduction zone dynamics affect volcanic eruption and deformation styles across five key volcanoes in the region. The research leverages satellite data, seismic analysis, and advanced modeling techniques...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $443,084 research grant to American University to investigate the impacts of volcanic aerosols and pyrocumulus nimbus (pyrocb) smoke on meteorological and aerosol data assimilation using NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) Earth System Model. The research aims to quantify how episodic injections of aerosols from volcanic eruptions and wildfires affect atmospheric modeling and forecasting accuracy. Currently, most...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 grant to Cornell University to conduct research on using InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite measurements to detect volcanic unrest in inaccessible areas. This 3-year contract, awarded on September 1, 2019, aims to provide critical information on volcanic activity that could precede an eruption. The research will focus on properly interpreting InSAR data to distinguish harmless unrest from...
- This federal contract award to Cornell University, a private research university in Ithaca, New York, is to develop and demonstrate a multi-platform satellite observing system to monitor hundreds of volcanoes across Latin America. The $602,492 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is part of the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Volcano Pilot Project, which aims to leverage international satellite data to improve understanding of volcanic...
- This is a $78,643.53 grant awarded by NASA to the University of South Florida (USF) for research directly aligned with NASA's goal to address increasing exposure to natural hazards. The grant falls under one of NASA's top research directives from its Decadal Survey to improve the accuracy of digital elevation models (DEMs) at active volcanoes. The award has a period of performance from October 2, 2019 to June 28, 2022. USF, a major public research university, has a strong track record of...
- This is a $541,921 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Illinois for research on using interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (InSAR) and GPS data to develop a data assimilation framework to detect precursors and forecast eruptions for high-risk volcanoes in the Aleutian Arc. The grant aims to build a near real-time monitoring system to provide eruption forecasts in coordination with the Alaska Volcano Observatory. The research will optimize the use of satellite InSAR data, combine it...
- This federal contract award, valued at $489,047.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a non-profit organization. The contract requires NAS to examine the role of large, strategic missions within a balanced program across NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) space and Earth sciences program. This contract does not have a set-aside designation. NAS is a premier source of expert scientific counsel and frequently...
