The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $503,541 grant to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a non-profit institute specializing in oceanographic research. The grant is for research to study the factors contributing to Antarctic ice sheet mass loss, including basal melting and the calving of icebergs from ice shelves. ESR has previously received multiple prime and subcontract awards from NASA to conduct research on topics such as sea surface salinity, ocean eddies,...
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 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Vanderbilt University, a leading private research university, for a project focused on advancing the understanding of ice shelf and glacier dynamics in Antarctica. The project aims to better comprehend ice shelf and glacier weakening and calving processes, the stability of fractures, and the damage mechanics of marginal shear zones under different flow regimes. The research will...
This is a $820,096 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography for a project titled "ICESAT-2 SCIENCE TEAM: STUDYING THREE DECADES OF MASS BALANCE PROCESSES OF ANTARCTIC ICE SHELVES WITH ICESAT-2, ICEBRIDGE, CRYOSAT-2 AND EARLIER ALTIMETRY MISSIONS". The grant supports research to study Antarctic ice shelf mass balance processes using data from various satellite...
This federal contract award to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute, was issued by the NASA Shared Services Center. The $458,937.41 grant supports research to investigate the interaction between ocean eddies and Antarctic sea ice extent. The objectives include documenting the regional and interannual variability of eddy contributions to ice edge position, relating these statistics to climate variability modes, understanding the physics of eddy-ice interactions, and...
This federal contract award, valued at $590,208.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute specializing in oceanographic research. The contract is a grant for research to observe and quantify the interactions between sea ice, ice shelves, icebergs, and the Southern Ocean around Antarctica using data from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat-2) altimetry...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $482,189 grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to develop multi-decadal time series of elevation and mass balance changes of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research will utilize the Surface Elevation Reconstruction and Change (SERAC) detection approach to analyze historical laser altimetry data, IceBridge airborne laser altimetry observations, and CryoSat-2 radar altimetry...
This is a federal grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute specializing in oceanographic research. The grant, valued at $440,182.00, is for a research project with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. ESR has a consistent track record of securing federal contracts and grants, primarily focusing on topics related to ocean dynamics, sea ice, climate change, and...
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 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...
