Pablo de Leon, research associate in the Department of Space Studies, recently received notice of approval of his EPSCoR proposal, “Integrated Strategies for the Human Exploration of the Moon and Mars,” for $742,000. Space Studies will honor him with a reception from 2:30pm-4:00pm on Wednesday, December 9. It will be held in the Reading Room […]

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has approved funding for a University of North Dakota (UND) next-generation lunar exploration system project. The three year $741,109 grant comes through NASA’s Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). For more details see the press release here.

Dr. Matthew Gilmore, Assistant Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, has been awarded a 4-year grant by the National Science Foundation to use a computer weather model to study the weather conditions and forces that support and maintain long-track supercell-spawned tornadoes. This gain in understanding is important because long-track tornadoes tend to be more violent, move faster, […]

NASA has announced the winners of the FY 2008 NASA EPSCoR Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) research solicitation and Pablo de Leon has been awarded a 3-year, $741,000 grant to study integrated strategies for lunar exploration. This research will involve the coordinated development of lunar space suits and rovers and will contribute to NASA’s goal of […]

Dr. Gretchen Mullendore, Assistant Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, has been awarded $355,155 over 3 years by NSF for her proposal entitled “Deep convective transport to the upper- troposphere/lower- stratosphere”. The proposal was submitted to the Physical and Dynamic Meteorology Program of the NSF Atmospheric & Geospace Sciences Division. The funded research will use radar observations […]

Drs. Xiquan Dong and Baike Xi have been awarded funding from NASA for work proposed under the title “Improvement of CERES Science Team cloud retrieval algorithms using both ground-based and space-based radar-lidar observations over Polar regions”. Total funding will be $124K from May 2009 to May 2011 and will support the new graduate student for […]
