CU Boulder professor secures $800,000 NASA Grant Khosro Ghobadi-Far is advancing the science of climate change with orbiting satellites. Ghobadi-Far has earned an $800,000 grant from NASA to analyze data from the GRACE-FO satellites, which measure variations in Earth’s gravitational field. Although gravity may appear constant to humans, it actually fluctuates across Earth’s surface in ways that can be valuable to climate science.
