- The University of Colorado, Boulder, received a $858,863.99 grant from NASA to create an integrated time series of altimetry-based elevation models using data from various satellite and airborne altimetry instruments, including ICESat-2. The goal is to improve understanding of mass balance, surface melting, and energy fluxes in the climate system, particularly for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research directly supports NASA's Earth Science Research Opportunities in Space and Earth...
- This is a $135,000.00 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. The grant is for research focused on studying the Thwaites Glacier and the Amundsen Sea Sector of West Antarctica, which are losing mass at a faster rate than any other region of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is for...
- This is a federal research 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, to improve the constraints on estimating mass changes in the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The $149,999.94 grant will fund research into two main areas: 1) assessing changes in surface roughness and melting of the Greenland ice sheet over the past 20 years, and 2) classifying the types of...
- This is a $254,240.00 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. The grant is for research to derive high-resolution surface height and roughness data from NASA's ICESat-2 satellite altimetry, with the goal of detecting glacial changes and glacier-related catastrophes in High-Mountain Asia. The award does not have a set-aside...
- This is a $450,340.00 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. The grant is for a research project focused on understanding the export of grounded ice from Antarctica's floating glacial ice shelves through calving and basal ice shelf melt, particularly in the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE) region where there have been accelerated...
- This is a $100,803.88 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, an accredited public research university, to conduct research on monitoring and measuring changes in the mass balance of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research aims to improve predictive models for sea level rise by analyzing surface mass balance and firn structure data collected during NASA's Operation IceBridge airborne survey missions. The grant supports...
- This federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, to map the surface mass balance (SMB) of the Antarctic ice sheet at high resolution using a combination of satellite altimetry data and atmospheric reanalysis. The goal is to better understand the dynamics and contribution of ice sheet elevation changes to sea level rise. The $616,158.82 grant does not have...
- This is a $474,738 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants, a state-run institution of higher education. The grant is for a research project aimed at improving the understanding of meltwater evolution and its effects on ice sheet hydrofracture and instability at depths up to tens of meters. This grant is not associated with a larger contract vehicle and does not have a set-aside designation. The...
- This is a $720,771.62 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado's Office of Contracts and Grants. The grant, titled "Bridging the Snow - Sea Ice Gap: A Snow on Sea Ice Assimilation System for the Arctic", aims to develop daily and monthly snow depth and density products to support improved satellite-based measurements of sea ice thickness. This information is critical for understanding and predicting changes in...
- This is a $386,873 grant awarded by NASA to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to support research addressing NASA's Earth science goals. The research focuses on understanding the roles and interactions of the oceans, atmosphere, and ice to improve the ability to predict climate changes, with a specific emphasis on investigating mechanisms controlling sea ice and its interaction with the atmosphere...
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 time series of ice height changes and mid-20th century ice heights that can be used to improve atmospheric and ice sheet models. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Colorado has a history of receiving federal research grants and contracts from agencies such as NASA, the Department of Defense, and NOAA for a range of science, technology, and engineering projects.
