This is a $551,450.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY), a non-profit organization that administers sponsored programs and research for the SUNY system. The grant is for a project titled "The Cryosphere's Response to Increasing Global Temperatures," which aims to improve predictions of sea-level rise by enhancing the understanding and modeling of glacier and ice sheet...
This is a grant awarded by NASA to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to provide an independent validation of the ATL11 ice sheet elevation change data product for the ICESat-2 satellite mission. The primary objective of the ICESat-2 mission is to monitor elevation changes of the polar ice sheets to quantify their contribution to sea level rise. The $148,393.44 grant does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded on December 1, 2016 with a completion...
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 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 contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), provides $644,796 in funding to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on improving estimates of Greenland ice sheet mass balance. The project aims to combine data from altimetry, gravimetry, and in-situ measurements with electromagnetic and regional climate modeling to generate more accurate long-term estimates of mass changes in the Greenland ice sheet between...
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...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $352,133.54 grant for research to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (SUNY), doing business as Sponsored Projects Services. The grant is part of NASA's Sea-level Change Team (N-SLCT) solicitation and aims to contribute to characterizing current changes in sea level, understanding the underlying processes, improving knowledge of ice mass change, and projecting future sea level rise. The Research...
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...
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 is a federal grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute, for a study titled "Understanding the Climate Drivers of Antarctic Ice Shelf Changes Through Analyses of Multi-Mission Satellite Data". The grant, valued at $953,819, runs from February 2017 to July 2021. The study aims to develop techniques to extend the record of Antarctic ice shelf height changes using data from ESA's CryoSat-2 radar altimeter and...
