- This federal contract award to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) aims to quantify the temporal and spatial variability of snow and ice in High Mountain Asia (HMA) using satellite remote sensing from 1985 to the present. The $185,877.84 grant will create a 35+ year daily record of snow/ice surface properties and mass estimates, including snow water equivalent (SWE), snow/ice melt, and sublimation, at 500 m spatial resolution. This extensive data set will serve as a unique...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara's Office of Research has been awarded a $185.5K grant-funded research contract by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center, with performance taking place in Santa Barbara, California. The award, made on February 17, 2022, supports research objectives identified in the National Academies' 2018 decadal strategy report, "Thriving on Our Changing Planet: A Decadal Strategy for Earth Observation from Space." Specifically, the research...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for a value of $238,670.00. The contract is for a series of workshops focused on understanding and monitoring the dynamics of glaciers and seasonal snow in High Mountain Asia, as well as projecting future scenarios related to climate change and natural disasters in the region.

The contract is a grant for research, with no set-aside designation, and the ultimate completion date is October 3, 2026. UCSB, operating through its Office of Research, is a public research university with expertise in areas...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for the development of hyperspectral equivalent water thickness retrievals to monitor water stress. The award is not set aside and has an ultimate completion date of October 3, 2026. UCSB, as a public research university, has extensive expertise in areas such as climate research, remote sensing, and measurement devices, which it will leverage to...
- This is a $106,953.51 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on September 1, 2018. The contract is focused on using data from airborne imaging spectrometers to quantify the impact of the 2012-2016 California drought on vegetation across urban landscapes. The goal is to assess the capabilities of these imaging spectrometers to track changes in vegetation health and condition over time in urban areas....
- The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), through its Office of Research, has been awarded a $303,307 research grant titled "The Role of EMIT and Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing in Addressing the Decadal Survey's Most Important Objectives for Snow in the Water Cycle" (contract 23-EMIT23-0032). The award, issued on May 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of February 27, 2025, supports research utilizing Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) and thermal...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara was awarded a $260,844.60 research grant by a Shared Services Center civilian federal agency on March 1, 2021, with completion scheduled for February 27, 2025. This contract supports investigation into the capability of the European Space Agency's Copernicus Hyperspectral Imaging Mission for the Environment (CHIME) to measure snow and glacier properties in mountainous regions. The research directly addresses priorities identified in the National...
This federal contract award to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is for a project titled "Using the Spatial Variability of Snow Accumulation to Evaluate the Orographic Effect in California's." The contract, valued at $120,000.00, was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to UCSB to investigate the spatial distribution of snowfall in the Tuolumne Basin of California's Sierra Nevada mountains using NASA's Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) data. The goal is to assess whether gridded precipitation products and surface station data can accurately replicate the observed spatial patterns of snow accumulation, which is critical for streamflow forecasting in this water-scarce region. The contract has no set-aside designation, indicating it was competed on a full and open basis. UCSB is the prime contractor and does not reference any major subcontractors. This project directly supports NASA's Earth Science research and Applied Sciences water resources focus areas.
