- This federal contract award to the University of Washington by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center is for $329,555.82 to construct navigability indicators for the Northwest Passage and Northern Sea Route based on satellite data of sea ice conditions. The goal is to analyze trends in navigability and the potential impact on marine mammal habitats. The project will coincide with the U.S. chairmanship of the Arctic Council from 2015 to 2017. The contract does...
- This is a federal grant award from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) for research on the interactions between the atmosphere, clouds, and sea ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seasonal Ice Zone (BCSIZ). The research aims to advance the understanding of how synoptic weather conditions affect cloud properties and the energy exchange between the atmosphere and sea ice. The award has a ceiling value of...
- This federal contract award (No. 80NSSC20K1627) was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to conduct research on the Antarctic ice sheet. The $76,472.19 grant aims to use altimetric and surface velocity data to perform time-dependent inversions for basal friction and rheological parameters that govern ice flow. This award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Washington is a leading...
- This federal contract award, valued at $471,492.77, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to support research and in situ observations of surface meteorology and sea ice motion.

UW is a prominent research institution that frequently...
This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) is for a research project focused on improving the ability to predict sea ice thickness and floe size distributions in the Arctic Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ). The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded this $694,688.69 grant to UW to develop an ensemble forecast system based on the Pan-Arctic Ice-Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) that can predict both ice thickness distribution and floe size distribution in the MIZ, including ice edge locations, on daily to seasonal timescales. The project aims to enhance understanding of MIZ processes and develop reliable forecasts by assimilating satellite and airborne observations, including data from ICESat-2 and CryoSat-2. This research supports NASA's broader efforts to study the accelerated decline of Arctic sea ice and its implications for economic and transportation activities in the region. The contract has no set-aside designation.
