This grant is offered by the Department of Geology and Geography for a project aiming to estimate the timing, location, and amounts of rockfall to Mount Rainier National Park glaciers. The study will focus on the delivery of rockfall from the glaciers to the rivers, utilizing existing seismic records to gather information on historic rockfall. Sediment production processes to rivers will be quantified through repeat terrestrial LiDAR surveys of the Nisqually glacier terminus area. The closing date for applications is July 8, 2015.

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | The United States Department of the Interior, The National Park Service (NPS), and Grand Canyon National Park, Science and Resource office are announcing a notice of intent to award; this is not a request for applications. This funding opportunity is to provide public notice of NPS’s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition, under Cooperative Agreement P14AC00882 with the University of Tennessee, a partner under the Southern Appalachian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, for a project titled; â¿¿The occurrence and fate of rockfall in Mount Rainier National Parkâ¿ |
Additional Information
| Agency Name: | National Park Service |
| Description: | This project will estimate the timing, location, and amounts of rockfall to Mount Rainier National Park (MORA) glaciers, and delivery of the rockfall from the glaciers to the rivers. Information on historic rockfall to glaciers will be obtained by exploiting the existing seismic records. Sediment production processes to rivers will be quantified by repeat terrestrial LiDAR surveys of the Nisqually glacier terminus area. |
