The University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. was awarded a three-year, $671,051 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation to develop open-source software and services for the Open Polar Radar (OPORA) program under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The goal of the Geosciences program is to strengthen understanding of Earth's integrated systems through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
Through this award, the University of Kansas will create OPORA software and services to enable collaborative research using polar radar data. The software and services will provide open access to polar radar capabilities and data, supporting further research aimed at improving understanding of Earth system processes in polar regions. The work will be completed by August 2024, with the University of Kansas leveraging its expertise in radar remote sensing and cyberinfrastructure to advance the goals of the NSF's Geosciences program through open polar radar tools and services.
