- This $366,015 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) will fund research to improve understanding of volcanic processes on Mars. The research aims to validate terrestrial lava flow propagation models for Martian applications, determine eruption conditions that produced Martian lava flows, and assess variations in flow rheology and crystal content. The work leverages data from the recent 2012-2013 Tolbachik...
- The University of Pittsburgh - Of The Commonwealth System of Higher Education, doing business as The University of Pittsburgh, was awarded a $134,999.65 training grant contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The contract is focused on accurately calculating the temperature and thermal emissivity of basaltic lava surfaces using a newly-developed ground-based miniature multispectral thermal infrared system. This data will be used to improve...
- This is a $104,999.97 training grant contract awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Pittsburgh. The contract aims to conduct graduate research to address multiple questions of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, with a focus on understanding active volcanic processes and their impact on the Earth's atmosphere and climate. The research will leverage data from satellite sensors, including the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), to study...
- The University of Pittsburgh has been awarded a $663,640 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "Validating Volcanic Degassing Retrievals Using a Novel Ground Based Thermal Infrared Camera System Preparing for the Upcoming SBG Mission." The grant, which runs through February 2027, will support the university's work on validating remote sensing methods for monitoring volcanic gas emissions in preparation for an upcoming NASA...
- This $293,761 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh supports a research project focused on acquiring and modeling new thermal infrared geostationary (GEO) observations from the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) on the GOES-16/17 satellites. The project is divided into three primary volcanological science tasks. The University of Pittsburgh, a major public research university, frequently partners with government agencies...

The project is divided into three tasks and has an ultimate completion date of April 18, 2025. As a grant for research, this award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Pittsburgh is the prime contractor and sole recipient of this funding, which will...
- The University of Pittsburgh was awarded a $336,032 cooperative agreement by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on "EO14042 ON-THE-FLY NONLINEAR REDUCED-ORDER MODELING OF FLOW TRANSITION." This work, which has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025, will involve the development of advanced computational models to study fluid flow and turbulence. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. As a major public research...
- This is a $530,392.00 grant award from the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Pittsburgh - Of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education, a non-profit educational institution, for research on modeling the open channel lava flows of Venus to constrain emplacement conditions, cooling rates, and implications for future orbital data. The award has a completion date of March 26, 2027 and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Pittsburgh has been a major...
- This $750,000.00 cooperative agreement was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh, a major research university in Pennsylvania. The goal of this project is to develop a multi-scale process-microstructure simulation tool that can predict defects and phase transformations in complex laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) parts, leveraging graphical processing unit (GPU) acceleration. The University of Pittsburgh will serve as the prime...
- The University of Pittsburgh, a state-related research university located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was awarded a $423,693 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research related to the broad strategic objective of "discovering how the universe works, exploring how it began and evolved, and searching for life on planets around other stars". The grant, awarded on March 1, 2020, does not have a set-aside designation and has a completion date of...
This $87,619.49 federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the volcanic and eolian history of the Daedalia Planum region on Mars. The research objectives are to: (1) extract thermophysical information from lava flow surfaces, (2) model the infrared spectral data of bedrock outcrops to determine composition, and (3) examine variations in flow surface characteristics to constrain the volcanic and degradation/mantling history. This contract is part of NASA's Earth and Space Science Fellowship (NESSF) program, which supports research to understand the formation and evolution of objects in the solar system, as well as the chemical and physical processes that operate in the solar system. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, as the University of Pittsburgh, a large public research institution, competes for federal contracts and grants across a wide range of scientific disciplines.
