- This federal contract award is a $126,113.47 training grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW). The contract is focused on using Landsat 8 satellite data to map carbon dynamics in Arctic and boreal water bodies to better understand the role lakes play in the circumpolar carbon cycle. This technical approach involves blending cloud-based data fusion techniques with ground-based, airborne, and remote sensing...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $423,688.00 grant to the University of Washington (UW) for research on snow depth and snow water equivalent (SWE) estimation using commercial optical satellite imagery. The research aims to develop a capability to assess snow depth and SWE on a regional scale, addressing the limitations of existing methods that rely on sparse in-situ measurements or low-resolution remote sensing. UW will utilize an...
- This is a federal grant award from a civilian agency to the University of Washington (UW) for $133,576.46 to conduct research on improving cloud-snow discrimination and understanding the snow energy balance in mountains using satellite data. The results will be important for guiding future satellite mission design and will be communicated to the NASA International Snow Working Group. UW is the prime contractor and there is no set-aside designation. UW is a prominent public research university...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AL59G, was granted to the University of Washington by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $568,294.00 grant funds research to develop a global snow monitoring mission concept by combining field measurements with modeling. The research aims to address the critical science question of where, why, and by how much global seasonal snow stores are changing. The project utilizes recent advancements in modeling, data...
- This federal contract award to the University of Washington (UW) under the NASA Shared Services Center is a Cooperative Agreement with a ceiling value of $90,485.00.
