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 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 $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...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GRIS). The research aims to determine if a connection exists between subsurface meltwater and changes in the surface height of the GRIS due to densification or drainage, in order to better understand the overall mass balance...
This federal contract award to The Ohio State University, with a ceiling value of $378,838.48, is for a research project to extend and improve records of thickness, velocity, and ice discharge for Greenland's marine-terminating outlet glaciers. The goal is to better understand changes in ice dynamics, freshwater flux, and contribution to sea level rise, in order to constrain ice sheet and ocean models. The research will utilize a range of Earth observation data, including from NASA's MEASURES...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $457,477 grant to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on Antarctica's ice shelves. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is focused on examining the processes of basal melting and calving that contribute to the loss of mass in these floating extensions of the Antarctic ice sheet. This research grant, with a completion date of March 14, 2025, aligns with Columbia...
This is a $306,907.38 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) to research the relationship between albedo and surface mass balance over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. The research aims to investigate how albedo, which is influenced by factors like aerosol deposition and seasonal snow cover, impacts atmospheric fluxes and surface mass balance. This will leverage a new,...
This federal contract award to the University of Georgia Research Foundation (UGA Research Foundation) is focused on examining the impact of atmospheric rivers on the energy budget and mass balance of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The award, valued at $93,111.43, is part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Earth Science Research Program and aims to address key questions related to water and energy cycle changes, climate variability, and future Earth system changes. The...
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 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park, with a ceiling value of $98,100.38. The objective of the work is to develop a time-series of surface change along the Summit Traverse in Greenland, and to determine the local surface roughness along the traverse. This will support calibration and validation of measurements from the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission. The award does not have...
