Hello all,

We are happy to announce that the NASA Earth Venture Suborbital-4 (EVS-4) Landslide Change Characterization Experiment (LACCE) Science Team solicitation is now open, with proposals due April 14, 2026 and a Notice of Intent (NOI) due on February 27, 2026. The LACCE investigation aims to improve understanding of deep-seated landslides and their response to rainfall variability and glacier retreat, using high-resolution, targeted airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) as the primary data source, integrated with ground-based instruments, laboratory experiments, and modeling. LACCE will quantify the number, size, motion, and groundwater hydrology of active landslides and assess their sensitivity to changes in precipitation and glacier extent. We invite Science Team proposals that contribute to one or more of the LACCE research components, including airborne and ground instrumentation, landslide remote sensing, laboratory measurements, and landslide hydrology models and landslide deformation models. Proposers are strongly encouraged to read this program element in its entirety and the additional background information on the LACCE project, including details on the project requirements for measurements and models in the LACCE White Paper at:
