This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University, a public research university in Oregon, to conduct research on the hydrologic implications of the reduction in seasonal snowpack and increased forest fires in the western U.S. The $362,630 grant will fund a 5-year project to: 1) characterize the spatio-temporal distribution of light-absorbing impurities in seasonal snowpack and their effects on snow albedo in burned and unburned...
This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University to contribute to the NASA Sea-Level Change Team (N-SLCT) through an interdisciplinary investigation addressing current and future sea level rise. The $101,752.21 grant integrates three existing NASA-funded efforts within the university group: multi-mission satellite altimetry, satellite gravimetry, and the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5) modeling system. The objectives...
This is a $207,458.11 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Portland State University (PSU), a public research university in Oregon. The grant supports continued research on ocean surface tides and internal tides using satellite altimeter data, numerical modeling, and data assimilation. Key objectives include producing highly accurate global tidal atlases, investigating the stationarity of low-mode internal tides, and improving...
This is a $302,078.02 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Portland State University (PSU) to develop a "robust indicator of extreme precipitation over the Continental United States" based on data from NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) programs. The indicator will categorize extreme precipitation events similar to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale, allowing tracking of trends in...
The University of Oregon (UO) has been awarded a $112,619.59 federal grant (Contract ID: 80NSSC23K1330) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to retrieve and analyze glacier ice and snow properties over the Greenland Ice Sheet using data from the ICESat-2 satellite. This research grant, which runs from September 1, 2023 to March 10, 2025, is part of NASA's broader efforts to study the Earth's cryosphere and monitor changes in glaciers and ice sheets. As a major research...
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 contract award, valued at $483,955.00, was granted to Portland State University (PSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on "Snow Albedo in the Alaskan Boreal Forest and Impacts on Snow Hydrology: Constraining the Uncertainties and Accuracy Requirements Across Spatial Scales, Spectral Resolution, and Disturbance Regimes." The contract, which has an ultimate completion date of September 14, 2025, is a grant for research and...
This federal contract award is for a $135,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Oregon (UO) for research on the rapid breakup of Greenland's ice tongues and the associated dynamic thinning and retreat of its marine-terminating outlet glaciers. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a major research institution, UO has extensive capabilities in scientific research, data analysis, and environmental science. Through this grant,...
This federal contract award to Oregon State University (OSU), a public land-grant research university, supports the development of new metrics for monitoring snow cover trends and impacts in a warming climate. The $460,348.18 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to create a suite of leading and lagging snow indicators to serve as climate change metrics for the National Climate Assessment. The project will leverage remote sensing, in-situ, and climate...
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...
