- This federal contract award to Stanford University from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is for research to advance volcano monitoring techniques using joint inversion of seismicity and geodetic observations. The $271,103.51 grant will be used to develop methods for modeling dike propagation and the onset of volcanic eruptions, building on previous work on the 2014 Bardarbunga volcano intrusion in Iceland. The research aims to improve real-time, physics-based data...
- This contract award to Southern Methodist University (SMU) is part of NASA's NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission to develop advanced techniques for improving ground surface deformation mapping, 3D deformation mapping, and atmospheric path delay mitigation. SMU will provide algorithm development, calibration/validation, and inputs to refine NISAR's scientific and technical capabilities during Phases B, C, and D of the mission. The university has extensive experience in SAR/InSAR...
- Southern Methodist University Office of Research Division, doing business as SMU, was awarded a $227,316 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to support research titled "Towards Making NISAR a Game Changer for Studying and Monitoring Volcano, Landslide, and Human-Induced Geohazards - Extension." The objective of this research is to leverage data from NASA's upcoming NISAR mission to advance monitoring of geohazards such as...
- This federal contract award to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a private non-profit organization, is for a study to better characterize and understand volcanic eruptions, improve predictive capabilities, and inform monitoring and early warning efforts. The $99,693.48 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and is not associated with a set-aside designation. The study will bring together experts from various disciplines to discuss the research,...
- This is a $541,921 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Illinois for research on using interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (InSAR) and GPS data to develop a data assimilation framework to detect precursors and forecast eruptions for high-risk volcanoes in the Aleutian Arc. The grant aims to build a near real-time monitoring system to provide eruption forecasts in coordination with the Alaska Volcano Observatory. The research will optimize the use of satellite InSAR data, combine it...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for a research project focused on improving the monitoring of volcanic activity and eruptions using satellite data. The project aims to create a 30-year global record of volcanic thermal unrest by integrating measurements from various satellite sensors, with the goal of enhancing NASA's ability to forecast volcanic behavior and mitigate its effects on society. The grant has...
- This is a $396,304 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) to leverage their expertise in InSAR data analysis, numerical modeling, and the study of volcanoes, landslides, and other geophysical processes. The award is not set aside for any specific business category. As a member of the NISAR Science Definition Team from 2013-2016 and Science Team from 2016-2019, SMU will apply their experience with the NISAR mission to...
