Grant For Research NNX17AB33G

This is a grant awarded by NASA to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to provide an independent validation of the ATL11 ice sheet elevation change data product for the ICESat-2 satellite mission. The primary objective of the ICESat-2 mission is to monitor elevation changes of the polar ice sheets to quantify their contribution to sea level rise. The $148,393.44 grant does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded on December 1, 2016 with a completion date of November 30, 2017. RF SUNY, a non-profit research organization, will leverage its expertise in areas like engineering, computer science, and environmental research to support this NASA project focused on advancing the understanding of ice sheet processes.
