- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $377,733 grant to the University of Arizona, a public research university and Hispanic Serving Institution, to develop algorithms that improve satellite-based flood inundation mapping and quantify flood risk. The goal is to support flood mitigation efforts by leveraging satellite observations to estimate extreme flood risk in urban and agricultural areas, complementing traditional modeling approaches. The research team will use...
- This is a $549,631.41 research and development grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning. The grant, which was not set aside, aims to develop and publish global flood forecasting, flood alerts, and flood impact assessments to improve flood risk monitoring and response...
- This $76,474 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of South Carolina (USC) to support research and capacity building related to water resources management in developing countries. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is focused on two main components: 1) assessing the risk of inadequate water quantity and quality in the Ganga-Brahmaputra river basin in India using satellite data and hydrological modeling, and 2)...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is a $448,437 grant to the University of Washington (UW) to provide three key services to support the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Science Definition Team (SDT) in its second term from 2016-2020. The first service is ground-truthing of SWOT elevation and river width data over the Indus and Ganges-Brahmaputra river basins in Asia. The second service is providing SWOT...
- This is a $129,552 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Wisconsin - Madison, operating as the Research and Sponsored Programs division of the University of Wisconsin System. The grant is for the "Seasonal Prediction of HKH Hydrological Extremes with the South Asia Land Data Assimilation System" project. The main tasks include managing the University of Wisconsin portion of the project, developing and adapting "serious game" simulations, and traveling to the Hindu Kush...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System for a research project titled "QUANTIFYING SATELLITE PRECIPITATION AND HYDROLOGIC MODEL PARAMETER UNCERTAINTIES TO ADVANCE FLOOD PREDICTION IN UNGAUGED REGIONS". The project will run from December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2027. This award is not set aside and represents open competition. The University of Wisconsin System has a strong track record of...
- 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 $365,517.69 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) for research into estimating river discharge globally using Bayesian methods and Landsat satellite data. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UMass will focus its efforts on accurately estimating river discharge across the globe rather than identifying and measuring rivers, leveraging recent advancements in cloud computing and...
- This federal contract award to the University of Washington is for research related to the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite mission. The $289,238 grant will prepare for and support field research over the Olympic Peninsula and Mountains in the Pacific Northwest to validate the GPM satellite's ability to measure precipitation over complex terrain. This work will include installing surface instrumentation, assisting with radar operations, providing weather forecasting support,...
- This federal grant award to the University of Houston System (UHS) is for a project titled "Building Lasting Capacity for Water Management in Vulnerable Deltas of Indochina". The $598,435.23 grant is funded by NASA to develop a comprehensive system for monitoring and forecasting water resources in the Mekong, Red, and Chao Phraya river basins in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. The project aims to reach Application Readiness Level (ARL) 7-9 by 2019 for products and applications using...
This is a $75,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington to create a reproducible and scalable flood forecasting system for flood-prone river deltas in the developing world. The project aims to implement the system on the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) basin and assess the forecast skill for Bangladesh during the 2015 to 2019 monsoon seasons. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Washington has extensive experience as both a prime contractor and subcontractor on a variety of federal research and development projects across agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the National Institutes of Health.
