This is a $415,548 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine), a premier public research university. The grant is for the "NISAR PRODUCTS, CAL/VAL, AND EARLY SCIENCE RESULTS FOR GLACIERS AND ICE SHEETS (AUG)" project, which involves research and development related to the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission. The grant has an ultimate completion date of October 25, 2025. UC Irvine, a...
This is a $461,480 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) on June 2, 2018. The grant supports research to better quantify the uncertainty and model the runoff production from surface melt, which is a key component of the mass loss of the Greenland ice sheet. The research will leverage data from automated weather stations, snow pits, and ice cores to evaluate the ability of regional atmospheric climate models...
This is a $118,512.21 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine), a major public research university located in California. The contract aims to use data assimilation techniques to better understand the processes driving the rapid changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet and improve projections of its contribution to sea level rise. This effort will combine NASA's Ice Sheet System Model...

This research will enhance...
This federal contract award, valued at $848,484.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to provide scientific guidance and support for NASA's Operation IceBridge (OIB) mission. The objective is to study coastal ice dynamics and ice sheet mass balance in Greenland and Antarctica using a variety of measurement techniques, including laser altimetry, to bridge the gap between the ICESat-1 and ICESat-2 missions and...

This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to conduct gravity sounding research on glaciers in southern Greenland. The $984,614 grant will enable UC Irvine to employ a novel approach using high-resolution helicopter-borne gravity data to map glacier thickness at a spatial resolution of 500 meters with a precision of 50 meters. This data will be integrated with other sources, including seafloor bathymetry, airborne radar measurements, and bedrock mapping, to facilitate advanced ice sheet modeling and improve understanding of glacier dynamics and sea level rise. The award is not set aside and does not appear to be associated with a larger contract vehicle. As a leading public research university and member of the Association of American Universities, UC Irvine has extensive expertise across various disciplines to support federal R&D priorities, including work for NASA on climate science and remote sensing.
