- 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 is a $1,116,509.73 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant, titled "Precipitation and Glacier Change in High Mountain Asia over the Common Era," aims to quantify the temporal and spatial variability in precipitation over High Mountain Asia and the impacts of this variability on glacier mass balance over the modern era from 1980 to the present. The research will employ statistical climate...
- This is a $100,803.88 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, an accredited public research university, to conduct research on monitoring and measuring changes in the mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research aims to improve predictive models for sea level rise by analyzing surface mass balance and firn structure data collected during NASA's Operation IceBridge airborne survey missions. The grant supports...
- 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...
- 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 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 $474,865 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 "Bridging MODIS to SBG: Improving the Historical Remotely Sensed Snow Albedo Record and Preparing for Satellite Imaging Spectroscopy via Multi-Sensor Fusion." The project aims to enhance historical satellite snow albedo data and prepare for future satellite imaging spectroscopy. The...
- 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...
- 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 is a $135,000.00 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 Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant is for research focused on studying the Thwaites Glacier and the Amundsen Sea Sector of West Antarctica, which are losing mass at a faster rate than any other region of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is for...
