This $470,991.37 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division supports research to understand the relationships between sea ice leads (cracks and openings in Arctic sea ice) and their impact on cloud properties and the Arctic surface energy budget. The research will leverage remote sensing data and cloud-resolving modeling to quantify how leads modulate the Arctic climate system through heat and moisture...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $192,507.00 grant to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division to conduct research on the role of dust in the life cycle of snow, coupling remote sensing with models to link land-use, climate, and water resources. The research will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah and is scheduled for completion by August 20, 2024. The University of Utah is a top tier research and higher education institution offering over...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The $122,740.41 grant is funding research to improve the understanding of the influence of Arctic winter-time leads on boundary layer clouds, which will help improve the parameterization of these effects in coarse-scale climate models. The University of Utah is a top-tier research and higher education institution located in...
The University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division has been awarded a $447,065.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the number of cloud droplets per unit volume in liquid-phase clouds (ND) and its relationship to aerosol chemistry and the Earth's albedo. The contract, with a performance period ending on August 31, 2025, does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Utah, a top-tier public research institution, is...
This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant is for a research project titled "A SURFACE VELOCITY INVESTIGATION OF LAKE-TERMINATING GLACIERS IN HIGH MOUNTAIN ASIA" with a period of performance through August 31, 2025. The University of Utah is a top-tier public research institution that conducts cutting-edge research across numerous scientific and medical...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah for a research project focused on cloud and precipitation processes over the Southern Ocean region. The two main objectives are to fully explore the information content in A-Train satellite data for characterizing the cloud-precipitation microphysical processes in marine boundary layer shallow convective clouds, and to address relevant science questions in the Southern Ocean region using...
The University of Utah has been awarded a $353,170.99 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project to improve operational snowmelt forecasting models in the Colorado River Basin. The project aims to develop the capacity to run a spatially distributed snow energy balance model informed by remote sensing data, in order to better account for factors like dust deposition that can significantly impact snowmelt timing and magnitude. This research is...
This is a $1,240,757 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division to conduct research on glaciers in High Mountain Asia (HMA). The research aims to study the role of glaciers in the hydrological cycle, examining their contributions to both water resources and hazards in the region. The award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Utah is a major research institution that frequently...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $280,948.00 grant to the University of Utah Office of Sponsored Projects Division to contribute to the NISAR Science Team (ST) with a focus on mountain glaciers, snow hydrology applications, Greenland ice sheet calibration/validation, and snow-related effects on deformation measurements. The award is a grant for research with a completion date of August 21, 2024. The University of Utah is a top-tier research and higher...
