This federal contract award, valued at $102,500.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to develop a tsunami early warning system for the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest. The project aims to assess the ability of real-time Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data to rapidly characterize earthquake slip and model tsunami inundation, which could improve...

This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to SRI International, a non-profit research institute, to develop and validate a two-dimensional ocean circulation model for storm surge prediction. The objectives are to (1) evaluate three methods for using CYGNSS satellite wind data to improve the storm surge modeling, and (2) develop a localized storm surge prediction system that can provide high-resolution flood forecasting. The...

This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps) is a $708,570 cooperative agreement focused on rapidly modeling earthquake sources and their impact on tsunami early warning systems. The project aims to integrate Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data and other observations into NOAA's operational tsunami warning capabilities, leveraging Scripps'...

This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K1104, was granted to the University of Oregon (UO) to support NOAA's tsunami early warning operations. The $1,020,624.68 grant will fund research and development to enhance the capabilities of NOAA's Tsunami Warning Centers, which currently rely on global seismic instrumentation to provide rapid estimates of earthquake size and tsunami propagation predictions. As a major public research university, UO has extensive expertise in areas such as...

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $3.94 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Instrumental Software Technologies, Inc. (ISTI), a small business specializing in geophysical software development, for the Common Analytic and Support System (CASS) for the National Weather Service's Tsunami Warning and Information Centers.
