This is a $91,027.48 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado for research on Antarctic ice heights and changes over time. The project will create a digital elevation model (DEM) database from satellite imagery collected between 2009 and 2016, co-register the satellite DEMs to airborne laser altimetry data, and use deep learning to co-register historical aerial photography to the satellite imagery and DEMs. The goal is to produce...
This is a federal grant award to the University of Washington (UW) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The award, valued at $1,297,158.51, is for a project titled "Validating a Glacier Melt Toolbox for High Mountain Asia Using a Remote-Sensing-Driven Data Integration Framework." The project aims to integrate remote sensing data and modeling approaches to better understand the water budget in the High Mountain Asia region, which is...
This is a $1,116,509.73 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Utah's Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant, titled "Precipitation and Glacier Change in High Mountain Asia over the Common Era," aims to quantify the temporal and spatial variability in precipitation over High Mountain Asia and the impacts of this variability on glacier mass balance over the modern era from 1980 to the present. The research will employ statistical climate...
This is a $415,089.67 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a project titled "Interlinked Glacier Dynamics, Lakes, Mountain Hazards, and Critical Vulnerabilities in the Himalaya." The project aims to explore the links between mountain hazards, glaciers, permafrost, snowfields, glacial lakes, and unstable mountain slopes in High Mountain Asia, particularly Nepal, and examine potential downstream impacts of glacier lake...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) for a project titled "Contribution of High Mountain Asia Glacier Changes to River Basin Hydrology Using GRACE Gravity and". The grant, valued at $630,297.97, aims to quantify changes in glacier mass balance in High Mountain Asia (HMA) and determine their contribution to river basin hydrology. The project will employ data from the Gravity Recovery and...
This is a $1,061,930.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) to conduct research on glacier runoff in High Mountain Asia (HMA). The research aims to study the timing and amount of peak water flow from melting glaciers, which has significant implications for the over 1 billion people who rely on this water source. The grant is part of a larger research effort and is not associated with a set-aside contract. CMU, a leading...
This $179,198.43 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University will support research to assess glacier volume change in the American West using airborne microwave sensor data. The objective is to track the magnitude and rate of alpine glacier retreat due to climate change, which impacts global sea level rise. The project will provide a baseline dataset of glacier topography that can be used to measure future volume changes. This work expands the...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GRIS). The research aims to determine if a connection exists between subsurface meltwater and changes in the surface height of the GRIS due to densification or drainage, in order to better understand the overall mass balance...
This is a $407,682 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization, for a project titled "Development and Climate Change in High Mountain Asia (HMA) Are Affecting Natural Hazards." The project will explore the links between mountain hazards and glaciers, snowfields, glacial lakes, and unstable mountain slopes in the HMA region, which includes Nepal, Bhutan, and adjoining areas of...
This federal contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), provides $644,796 in funding to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on improving estimates of Greenland ice sheet mass balance. The project aims to combine data from altimetry, gravimetry, and in-situ measurements with electromagnetic and regional climate modeling to generate more accurate long-term estimates of mass changes in the Greenland ice sheet between...

This is a $120,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to measure glacier ice volume changes in the High Mountain Asia (HMA) region over the past four decades. The project will use a computer vision and multi-temporal digital elevation model (DEM) analysis pipeline applied to declassified Cold War-era spy satellite imagery to quantify glacier changes and link them to atmospheric variables. The goal is to improve understanding of how this critical component of the global Earth system is changing, provide insights into high-altitude surface dynamics, and contribute to seasonal runoff predictions to support water resource management in Asia. This award is not designated as a set-aside contract.
