Description
This NASA program element solicits research proposals focused on the cryosphere—Earth's snow, ice, and frozen ground—under the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2025 omnibus announcement. The program aims to advance the understanding of cryospheric processes and their interactions with the broader Earth system, leveraging NASA's observational capabilities and scientific priorities. Proposals will undergo dual anonymous peer review and must address the scientific objectives outlined in the program element's documentation.
