This is a $468,288.56 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to measure tectonic crustal strain rates along the San Andreas Fault system using a combination of InSAR and GNSS data. The goal is to accurately forecast large-scale geological hazards in a socially relevant timeframe by achieving an average velocity accuracy of 0.5 mm/yr over 10 km. This will require applying several corrections to the InSAR data, including solid...
This federal contract award, with an ID of NNX17AE19G, was issued by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for the agency) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to hold a workshop in Sendai, Japan. The purpose of the $75,000 grant is to determine the feasibility of developing a future Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Tsunami Early Warning System (TEWS). The workshop aims to identify the resources and strategies needed to establish a GNSS network across the Pacific...
This federal contract award, with an ID of NNX16AG30G, was issued by the Shared Services Center (an agency within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The $533,129.99 grant is for a research project titled "A Novel GNSS-Based Terrestrial Water Storage Time Series for the Nation". The project aims to use data from NASA's Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Gravity...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC19K1640, was granted to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography Division for continued membership on the NISAR Science Definition Team. The $370,715.00 grant will support Scripps' efforts over a three-year period to guide the NISAR mission through its anticipated launch in 2020.

This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to investigate post-seismic creep and evolving hazard on adjacent faults in Haiti using InSAR data from recent earthquakes. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting Scripps' status as a large educational institution. Scripps is a division of UCSD and a renowned center for ocean and earth science...
This is a $278,019 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct research related to land surface change and associated natural hazards. The grant supports the development of predictive capabilities and early warning technologies for major earthquakes, focusing on modeling the dynamics of tsunamis using the Tsunami Squares method. The work builds upon previous NASA-funded efforts to model earthquakes,...
This federal contract award, NNX16AO50H, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The $75,000.00 award supports a research effort to characterize the dynamics of unsteady currents in the upper ocean, focusing on the energy transfers across different scales and the relationship between geostrophic and ageostrophic flows. The results will help interpret satellite altimeter data...
This federal contract award, valued at $102,500.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to develop a tsunami early warning system for the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest. The project aims to assess the ability of real-time Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data to rapidly characterize earthquake slip and model tsunami inundation, which could improve early warning capabilities for a potential "tsunami earthquake" in the region. The award does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting Scripps' status as a large educational institution. As a renowned center for ocean and earth science research, Scripps leverages its specialized facilities and expertise to support diverse federal agencies, including NASA, NOAA, and the Department of Defense, through both grants and contracts.
