This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, provides $599,995.00 in grant funding for research related to Arctic sea ice changes. The research is focused on understanding how the Arctic region is experiencing earlier melting and later ice formation, resulting in thinner, more dynamic first-year ice. This grant award, identified as #80NSSC20K1121, was made by the Shared Services...
This is a $720,771.62 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants. The grant, titled "Bridging the Snow - Sea Ice Gap: A Snow on Sea Ice Assimilation System for the Arctic", aims to develop daily and monthly snow depth and density products to support improved satellite-based measurements of sea ice thickness. This information is critical for understanding and predicting changes in...
This federal contract award, valued at $251,600.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center of NASA to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The objective is to produce observationally constrained models of the full life cycle of snow over ice sheets, leveraging various satellite measurements, atmospheric modeling, and energy balance modeling. This research aims to improve understanding of snowfall,...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through its Office of Contracts and Grants, aims to use remotely sensed sea surface temperature data to monitor and compare coastal and fjord warming features around the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) in relation to measured ice front retreat of major outlet glaciers since 2000. The $119,999.99 award, which is not designated as a set-aside, supports research...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Center awarded a definitive, cost-no-fee contract to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for support of the Snow and Ice Distributed Active Archive Center (SI DAAC) within the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS). The $49,982,274.00 contract covers science data planning, product generation, system development,...
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 is a $386,873 grant awarded by NASA to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to support research addressing NASA's Earth science goals. The research focuses on understanding the roles and interactions of the oceans, atmosphere, and ice to improve the ability to predict climate changes, with a specific emphasis on investigating mechanisms controlling sea ice and its interaction with the atmosphere...
This federal contract award, valued at $291,892.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado (CU). The contract is for a research grant titled "Towards Implementation of Melt-Pond Information on the ICESat-2 Sea-Ice Products: Determination of Parameters and Variables of the DDA-BIF-SeaIce Using Airborne Campaign Data." The award is not set aside for any specific...
This federal contract award to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, is for the continuation and enhancement of the National Snow and Ice Data Center's (NSIDC) Arctic Sea Ice News and Analysis (ASINA) and Greenland Today (GT) websites. The $1,307,131.56 grant will allow NSIDC to monitor and analyze Arctic sea ice conditions and Greenland ice sheet melt in near real-time, leveraging NASA-funded data products and research. The project serves the scientific community, NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, and the general public by providing timely assessments of environmental changes in the polar regions. This award has no set-aside designation and was issued directly by the NASA Shared Services Center.
