- This is a $675,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to quantify the processes affecting the buttressing capacity of East Antarctica's ice shelves using data from the ICESat-2 and CryoSat-2 satellites, as well as optical satellite imagery. The award is not set aside under any special contracting program. UCSD is a renowned public research university and home to the...
- This is a $820,096 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography for a project titled "ICESAT-2 SCIENCE TEAM: STUDYING THREE DECADES OF MASS BALANCE PROCESSES OF ANTARCTIC ICE SHELVES WITH ICESAT-2, ICEBRIDGE, CRYOSAT-2 AND EARLIER ALTIMETRY MISSIONS". The grant supports research to study Antarctic ice shelf mass balance processes using data from various satellite...
- This federal contract award, with an ID of 80NSSC22K0387, was issued by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography Division, doing business as Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The $568,110.00 grant is for a research project to investigate the processes driving glacier thinning along the major outlets of the Aurora, Byrd, and Wilkes Subglacial Basins. The award...
- This federal contract award, valued at $785,685.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) for a research grant titled "Coupling Citizen Science and Remote Sensing Observations to Assess the Impacts of Icebergs on Coastal Arctic Ecosystems." The grant does not have a set-aside designation. Through this award, UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography will conduct research focused on understanding the...
- This federal contract award, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), was granted to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The $90,000.00 contract is a training grant to investigate the role of submesoscale features in the Arctic upper ocean heat budget and their influence on sea ice melt and formation. The research aims to quantify the effect of these small-scale processes, which are currently unresolved or missing in...
- This federal contract award, NNX15AN45H, was granted by the Shared Services Center to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to conduct research on the role of clouds in the climate of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). The $105,000.00 training grant supports efforts to better understand the fundamental physical processes driving the rapid climate warming observed in this region since the 1950s. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Scripps...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AL89A, was granted to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography Division to develop a cyberinfrastructure platform for accessing and visualizing data from NASA's ICESat and upcoming ICESat-2 missions. The $1,451,695.00 cooperative agreement, awarded by NASA, will enable Scripps to build an efficient, user-friendly web interface for subsetting, filtering, and visualizing the altimeter data from these profiling...
- This is a $350,683 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego (UCSD), specifically its Scripps Institution of Oceanography division. The grant is for a project titled "Multimodal Observations of Climate-Forced Surface Deformation and Change Using NISAR and ICESat-2", which aligns with NASA's focus on Earth science research and climate monitoring. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCSD, a...
- This federal contract award is for a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps) for the Operation IceBridge (OIB) program. The primary goal of OIB is to extend the altimetry record of the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) until the launch of ICESat-2, with the ultimate goal of generating continuous height-change time series over key regions of the ice sheets and sea...
- This federal contract award, valued at $2,385,495.69, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) under a cooperative agreement. The objective is to produce new Earth Science Data Records (ESDRs) to support the understanding of ice sheet dynamics and their contribution to sea level rise. Key deliverables include monthly ice motion maps, a new bed topography and ice thickness model for Antarctica, annual grounding line...
This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps) on September 1, 2018. The $134,883.98 award is a training grant that does not have a set-aside designation. The contract is for proposed research to continue the application of remote sensing data to track changes in Antarctica, a key region of the cryosphere, where large changes are occurring in some regions that the geologic record suggests have been stable for millennia. This directly addresses NASA's Earth Science Division's science goal to improve the ability to predict climate changes by better understanding the roles and interactions of the ocean, atmosphere, land, and ice in the climate system. The work will implement novel techniques to determine the current state of Antarctic ice shelves and improve the understanding of the ice-ocean interactions that cause basal melting. The derived data products can be incorporated into coupled ice shelf-ice sheet models and coupled ice-ocean models to provide more consistent and accurate forcings.
