- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Duke University in the amount of $522,655.02. The grant is part of the Next Generation Cold Land Processes Experiment, which aims to improve satellite-based remote sensing capabilities for monitoring snow mass over large, remote regions. Duke University will integrate distributed ground-based observations with existing field measurements to constrain and evaluate coupled snow hydrology-microwave...
- This is a $90,763 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Duke University, a prestigious private research institution located in Durham, North Carolina. The grant is part of NASA's ROSES (Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences) funding opportunity, which aims to execute a balanced science program, participate as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiatives, advance discovery in emerging fields, and develop a...
- This is a $134,950.25 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center on September 1, 2019 to Duke University's Office of Research Administration Division to study land cover change driven by Hurricane Florence along the North Carolina coastline. The grant aims to better understand ecosystem disturbance, resilience, and recovery from storms, as well as develop new methods for disturbance detection and monitoring. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. Duke University, a top-ranked...
- Duke University's Office of Research Administration was awarded a $285,298 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center on March 11, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 10, 2027. This non-set-aside competitive award will be performed in Durham, North Carolina and supports NASA's Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) funding program. The award aligns with ROSES's overarching objectives to execute a balanced...
Duke University Office Of Research Administration Division was awarded a $135,000 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. The objective of the research is to develop a framework for correcting satellite estimates of orographic precipitation in mountainous regions using ground-based rainfall and streamflow observations. The research strategy involves using big data analytics tools like multifractal downscaling, support vector machine learning, and artificial neural networks to model the associations between rainfall intensity, rainfall corrections, and satellite quantitative precipitation estimates. The corrected precipitation products will be evaluated against observations and used to analyze orographic precipitation patterns and extreme rainfall statistics. This award does not have a set-aside designation.
