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...
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...
The University of Colorado, Boulder was awarded a $520,230 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to quantify the temporal and spatial variability of snow and ice in High Mountain Asia from 1985 to the present. Using satellite remote sensing data, the University will create a daily record spanning over 35 years of snow and ice surface properties in the region. The objectives of the research are aligned with NASA's goals of improving scientific understanding of...
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 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 $75,167.00 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for research to collaborate with the ICESat-2 project at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The objective is to assess and improve the quality of ICESat-2 atmospheric data products during the early operational phase of the mission. The research will focus on streamlining quality assurance, data quality improvement, and information exchange between the University of Colorado team, the ICESat-2 science team, and the ICESat-2...
This is a $761,988.94 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for the "Global Land Ice Velocity Extraction from Landsat (GoLIVE)" project. The goal is to develop a processing system to systematically map ice flow across multiple timescales globally using Landsat 8 satellite imagery. This will provide a comprehensive, near-real-time record of ice flow variations to support NASA's cryospheric science efforts and help close the mass budgets underlying ice sheet and glacier...
This is a $713,075 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado for research related to snow mapping using satellite technology. The research is part of NASA's Earth Observing System and aims to study snow cover and snow albedo, which are important factors in Earth system science. The grant has a period of performance ending in February 2026. The University of Colorado is a public research university that has received numerous federal research grants and contracts...
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...
