- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The $352,684.99 grant is for the recipient to contribute to the development of the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission through supporting the Science Definition Team (SDT). The work will focus on using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) techniques to monitor changes in permafrost and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $342,895 grant to The Ohio State University to prepare for the production of a soil moisture product from the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) mission. NISAR will provide global data on land surface dynamics critical to monitoring ecosystem carbon and water cycles. The project will develop algorithms to estimate soil moisture and crop biomass using NISAR's L-band radar measurements, and support NISAR mission development...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Stanford University for research on the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission. The grant, valued at $322,552.91, aims to help ensure NISAR provides data that supports a wide range of scientific investigations and societal applications, with a focus on maximizing the mission's ability to observe surface deformation even in challenging environments through the use of persistent scatterer InSAR...
- This is a $345,760.51 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to continue support for the definition of science goals, requirements, measurement requirements, product definition, and science algorithm development, as well as data distribution and calibration/validation planning for the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission. The work will be done in collaboration with other key NASA missions focused...
- This is a $522,289.60 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), doing business as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), to support the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) science mission. The SMAP mission was originally intended to provide soil moisture estimates at a 10 km spatial resolution with a 3-day revisit interval, but the mission's radar malfunctioned in 2015, leading to the...
- This is a $464,245.69 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to characterize regional drought impacts using satellite observations from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission and the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission. The project aims to quantify the role of soil moisture variability from SMAP and total terrestrial water storage changes from GRACE in relation to...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $168,472.72 grant to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute, for the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) and Aquarius missions, which provide valuable observations of sea surface salinity (SSS). The grant is for research and was awarded on July 24, 2018, with a completion date of January 31, 2019. ESR has been awarded multiple prime contracts and subcontracts by NASA and the National Science Foundation for...
- This is a $351,542 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan State University (MSU) for the development of global high-resolution soil moisture data using a data-driven approach to support the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission. The award has a completion date of September 1, 2025 and does not have a set-aside designation. As a premier public land-grant research university, MSU has a long history of collaborating with federal agencies...
- This federal contract award to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) aims to improve the accuracy of earthquake source models and Earth velocity models by reconciling data from InSAR and seismic methods. The $103,384.62 award, granted by the NASA Shared Services Center, supports research to better constrain earthquake locations and source mechanisms, which is critical for hazard assessment and forecasting. The project leverages upcoming satellite missions like...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AK58G, was granted to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue Caltech's participation on the NASA/ISRO SAR (NISAR) Science Definition Team (NSDT) and serve as the Solid Earth Science Co-Lead. NISAR is a joint Earth observation mission between NASA and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) that will use L- and S-band radar to measure surface deformation, study changes in...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 training grant to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography to study the use of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to characterize surface displacements and the effects of changing soil moisture. The research will leverage data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission and the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) to assess the impact of soil moisture on InSAR observations across three test locations. The goal is to develop methods to correct for soil moisture impacts, which will directly support the upcoming NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission. This contract does not have a set-aside designation and was awarded on September 1, 2018 with a completion date of August 31, 2021.
