This contract is a $192,394.95 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Universities Space Research Association (USRA) on March 26, 2019. The contract is for an investigation into changes in vegetation patterns along the taiga-tundra ecotone in response to Arctic warming. The project aims to use remote sensing data, modeling, and observations to examine and quantify the likelihood of predicted changes in forest structure and the location of the tundra-taiga boundary. The work will leverage high-resolution individual-based forest and tundra vegetation models. This contract does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by November 30, 2021. USRA is a nonprofit organization that conducts and manages research projects for NASA, the Department of Defense, and other government agencies across space science, aerospace engineering, and STEM education.
