- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The $248,245.18 grant is for a research project to integrate an ultra-wideband snow-probing radar onto an ultra-long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle to measure snow thickness over sea-ice and map near-surface internal layers of snow over land-ice in polar regions. This is not a...
- This is a $249,973 firm fixed-price contract awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The contract was issued under ERDC's Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) 21-C0001 for research and development in areas such as coastal engineering, geotechnical analysis, and information technology. The contract is for a project titled "Automated...
- This federal contract award is for a $135,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Oregon (UO) for research on the rapid breakup of Greenland's ice tongues and the associated dynamic thinning and retreat of its marine-terminating outlet glaciers. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a major research institution, UO has extensive capabilities in scientific research, data analysis, and environmental science. Through this grant,...
- This is a $119,220.56 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The award is for a research project titled "Probing Quenching in the Cosmic Web Using Spatially-Resolved Star-Formation Maps from WISE and GALEX." The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. has a history of managing federal...
- The University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc. was awarded a $538,780.98 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct research integrating snow probing radar onto the Vanilla VA001 unmanned aircraft system and develop required sub-systems for remote operation of the radar. As the prime contractor, the University of Kansas Center for Research will perform the work in Lawrence, Kansas from May 2020 through December 2022. The contract...
- This is a $903,729.99 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. (KUCR), a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The grant is for an experiment related to cryospheric uncrewed aerial systems, with a period of performance ending on September 7, 2023. KUCR frequently receives federal grants and contracts to conduct research and development across diverse scientific and technical domains on behalf of the...
- 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 federal contract award is a $119,999.67 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant is for research to investigate the impact of surface melt water on fast-flowing, marine-terminating outlet glaciers over Greenland, building upon previous work examining hydrologic-induced shear weakening over the margins of Jakobshavn Isbr. The research will use numerical ice flow models to quantify the impact of reduced basal...
This federal contract award, valued at $373,274.86, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., a non-profit subsidiary of the University of Kansas. The award is focused on "Controls on Iceberg Distribution Around Greenland" and aims to create a comprehensive database of glacier calving and iceberg properties using satellite imagery and automated processing. The key objectives are to quantify the terminus position of Greenland's marine-terminating glaciers, the size and distribution of icebergs in its coastal waters, and to test various calving models. This work is aligned with NASA's goal to advance knowledge of Earth as a system and improve understanding of environmental change. The award is not designated as a set-aside contract. The University of Kansas, the parent organization of the prime contractor, has a history of supporting federal research and development efforts across a range of agencies and technical domains.
