- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the University of South Florida (USF) on September 1, 2017. The purpose of the grant is to use satellite-based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) data to monitor surface deformation caused by fluid injection activities, particularly in Oklahoma and Texas. The results will be used to model pore pressure changes and the relationship to seismic activity, in...
- This federal contract award, valued at $537,609.00, was granted to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The contract is focused on using spaceborne Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to detect surface deformation signals associated with high-rate wastewater injections and induced seismic events in Texas and Oklahoma. The research aims to better understand the connection between injection-related stress...
This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AL10G, was granted to Southern Methodist University (SMU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate and monitor surface subsidence, ground ruptures, and sinkhole development in the Gulf Coast region using advanced interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) techniques. The $550,099 grant aims to construct annual subsidence maps, classify local subsidence areas, map faults, and characterize sinkhole development over an approximately 488,500 sq km area. The work supports NASA's Earth Science Initiatives (ESI) by improving understanding of deformation mechanisms and near-surface processes in the Gulf Coast region. There is no set-aside designation associated with this contract award. SMU will be the prime contractor, leveraging its academic expertise in fields such as physics, engineering, geosciences, and data analysis to carry out the project.
