- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a research project to develop a framework for analyzing debris-covered glaciers on Mars. The $770,270.35 grant will fund the development of a numerical model to study the formation and evolution of these glacial features, which could provide insights into Mars' past climate. The research will involve field studies of analog...
- 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 $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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to provide an accurate and extensive assessment of regional ice flux, which will help further constrain glacier flow modeling and improve the overall understanding of Alaska's temperate glaciers. This grant-funded research project was not set aside for any specific business category. The University of Arizona, a U.S. state government...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for the project "FLOOD JUSTICE UTILIZING SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS SOCIAL VULNERABILITY, CAPACITY BUILDING, AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT" and has a period of performance through August 31, 2027. The University of Arizona, which is designated as a 1862 land grant college and Hispanic Serving Institution, will...
- This is a $660,360 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, a state government entity, 1862 land grant institution, and Hispanic Serving Institution. The grant is not associated with a set-aside program. The grant supports research related to floods, which are described as causing significant damage and economic disruption. As a public research university, the University of...
- This is a $985,672.09 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a research-focused public institution, for a study on the interactions between extreme precipitation, wildfires, earthquakes, and mass movements that can lead to cascading hazards and large-scale disasters. The research will leverage multiple NASA remote sensing data sets in conjunction with in-situ observations and advanced hydrologic and fluvial modeling to improve...
- This is a five-year, $511,291.16 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution. The grant supports a study of lunar impact melt flows, which aims to characterize the properties and behavior of superheated impact melt through geological mapping, experimental simulation, and numerical modeling. The project will leverage expertise in planetary science, materials science, and igneous processes to provide insights into fundamental...
- This is a $561,038 grant award to Northern Arizona University (NAU) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Solar System Workings program. The grant funds a research project investigating chemical alteration processes at cold-based glaciers on volcanic, Mars-analog bedrock. The research involves field observations and laboratory analyses of water, rocks, and sediments collected from cold-based glaciers on Kilimanjaro volcano in Tanzania. This work aims to improve the...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university, for $150,000 to conduct evaluations and improvements for LiDAR retrieval of snow depth and other properties. The award has a period of performance through March 21, 2026. The University of Arizona, which is the prime contractor, does not have a set-aside designation for this award. The University has extensive capabilities in astrophysics, planetary...
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 outburst floods. The project will analyze satellite data since the 1980s to investigate the mass movement environment of glacial lakes, their effects on glacier dynamics, and the timeline from climate changes to glacier lake formation and outbursts. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a public research university and Hispanic Serving Institution, the University of Arizona has extensive capabilities across disciplines relevant to this project, including astrophysics, environmental health, and geospatial analysis.
