Funding

Dr. Xiquan Dong, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, has received a grant from NASA titled “Validation of CERES Cloud Properties UsingARM Groud-based Observations and Retrievals.” This is a 3-year grant totaling $662,935. Under this award, Xiquan and his group will study cloud properties using NASA satellite data and observations collected by the Dept. of Energy’s Atmospheric […]

Dr. Jianglong Zhang, Associate Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at UND, has received a grant through the National Science Foundation (NSF) Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Program. This multi-million dollar project, named the Center for Regional Climate Studies, is part of a $20,000,000 NSF EPSCoR research grant to NDSU, titled Innovative and Strategic Program […]

David Delene Atmospheric Sciences – “Proof of Concept Cloud Condensation Nucleus Counter for Unmanned Aircraft Systems” – $99,739 Gretchen Mullendore and Michael Poellot Atmospheric Sciences – “Tropical Oceanic Thunderstorm Hazards” – $75,000 Mike Gaffey Space Studies – “Near Infrared Spectral Observations of 3:1 Kirkwood Gap and Gefion Family Asteroids” – $113,488

Dr. Gretchen Mullendore, Associate Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, has received a contract from the Northrop Grumman Corporation to study tropical thunderstorms as a hazard to UAS operations. While it is well known that aircraft should not fly directly through thunderstorms, hazards also extend beyond the visible boundary of the storms. The question to be addressed […]

A team of University of North Dakota scientists recently received a National Science Foundation grant that will facilitate the formation of undergraduate learning groups. Full article

Dr. Mike Gaffey of the Department of Space Studies has been awarded a 3-year, $497,000 grant from the NASA Planetary Geology and Geophysics program for his work on “Asteroid Mineralogical Characterizations and Implications”. Dr.’s Sherry Fieber-Beyer and Vishnu Reddy (now at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson) are Co-Investigators. (This is a continuation of previous […]

Department of Aviation – “National General Aviation Flight Information Database” – $90,000

Paul Hardersen, associate professor in the Department of Space Studies, was recently awarded a three year, $276,000 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Planetary Astronomy Program research grant to study basaltic asteroids in the main asteroid belt. “Asteroids, the most primitive material from solar system formation about 4.5 billion years ago, inform us about the […]

Jianglong Zhang, Associate Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, has been awarded a grant from NASA for his project titled “Quantifying Decadal Trends in Aerosol Direct Forcing from Terra and Aqua”. This study will be funded for 3 years with a total budget of $583,829. Under this grant, Jianglong will be studying aerosol climate forcing signals using […]

Dr. Paul Hardersen, of the Department of Space Studies, has been awarded a 3-year, $276,000 NASA Planetary Astronomy Program research grant to study basaltic asteroids in the main asteroid belt. Asteroids, as they are the most primitive material from solar system formation ~4.5 billion years ago, inform us about the early physical and chemical conditions […]
