A new award of $4.5M is set to fund CHIRP, the CHanneled Infrared Polarimeter, a compact tool that can provide scientists with extremely accurate data essential, and previously unattainable across all conditions, for long-term climate change modeling.

The Snow4Flow mission will measure glaciers' ice and snow thickness and help scientists better predict how glacial melting contributes to sea level change.

Congratulations go to HAS University Distinguished Scholar and Professor Ali Behrangi who was recently selected as the principal investigator on a $3 million NASA award to lead efforts on developing the next generation Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) for 5 more years.

University of Arizona's Dr. Ali Behrangi has been working with NASA to map global rainfall, and to research our own drought here at home

Brandon Tober’s fascination with Alaskan glaciers led him to research the Malaspina Glacier, which recently was discovered to have been particularly susceptible to melting due to its own submarine bulk and the erosion of the permafrost coastline, opening the glacier to the warm Gulf of Alaska waters.
