- This federal grant award to the University of Washington (UW) supports research to improve the measurement and modeling of mountain snow, which is critical for understanding water supplies and ecosystems. The $1,174,641 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center and has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UW's status as a large educational institution. As a leading...
- This is a $134,649.18 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to the University of Washington on September 1, 2018, with a completion date of August 31, 2021. The grant funds research to investigate the extent, resolution, and accuracy of remotely-sensed snow depth observations in complex topography, as precipitation measurements in mountainous regions are challenging. The research will evaluate the ability of simulated snow depth...
- This is a $989,657.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) for research on using new combinations of remote sensing data to estimate surface density and ice layers. The goal is to provide estimations that may equal or surpass the accuracy of computationally expensive multi-layer snow models. This is not a set-aside award. UW, as a leading research university, has a history of prime federal contract...
- This is a $232,262.92 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington to improve high-resolution mapping of snow cover in complex forested terrain using Planet Labs satellite imagery. The University of Washington will couple ground and airborne snow observations with Planet imagery in mountain systems in Washington, California, and Colorado. This work aims to enhance understanding of climate change impacts on...
- This is a $120,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to improve snow water equivalent (SWE) modeling in forested regions using remote sensing data. The contract is focused on deriving forest metrics from Landsat imagery and assimilating canopy snow presence/absence from the MODIS FSCA product into hydrologic models to better represent forest-snow interactions. This will help increase...
- This is a federal grant award from a civilian agency to the University of Washington (UW) for $133,576.46 to conduct research on improving cloud-snow discrimination and understanding the snow energy balance in mountains using satellite data. The results will be important for guiding future satellite mission design and will be communicated to the NASA International Snow Working Group. UW is the prime contractor and there is no set-aside designation. UW is a prominent public research university...
- This federal contract award with ID 80NSSC21K0142 was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Washington (UW) to develop observationally constrained models of the life cycle of snow over ice sheets. The $97,725.57 grant will leverage satellite measurements, existing airborne and in-situ data, and modeling to better understand snowfall, accumulation, redistribution, and runoff over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. This research aims to...
- This is a $54,501.00 grant award to the University of Washington from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center for research on "The Seasonal Cycle of Arctic Snow Depth from ICESat-2: Linkages to Summer Freeboard and Albedo." The award supports analysis of critical data from comet Wild 2 silicates to advance understanding of comet formation environments. The University of Washington is the prime recipient, with no set-aside designation, and there...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $423,688.00 grant to the University of Washington (UW) for research on snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) estimation using commercial optical satellite imagery. The research aims to develop a capability to assess snow depth and SWE on a regional scale, addressing the limitations of existing methods that rely on sparse in-situ measurements or low-resolution remote sensing. UW will utilize an...
- This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) under the NASA Shared Services Center is a Cooperative Agreement with a ceiling value of $90,485.00. The contract is for a "Citizen Science Campaign to Validate Snow Remote Sensing Products", which will leverage UW's existing database and web services to engage citizen scientists in collecting snow depth and snow crystal data across the Pacific Northwest. This data will be used to validate NASA's remote sensing products...
