- This is a $548,426 grant awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant supports the expansion and curation of a global field and airborne LIDAR database to calibrate and validate the algorithms for NASA's GEDI (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation) spaceborne LIDAR instrument, as well as other space-based biomass monitoring missions like NASA's NISAR and ICESat-2, and ESA's BIOMASS. The...
- This is a $687,078 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a project titled "Mapping Boreal Forest Biomass Recovery Rates Across Gradients of Vegetation Structure and Environmental Change." The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund research to study boreal forest recovery and the impacts of environmental changes. UMD, a prominent U.S. state government entity and research...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). The $329,727 grant is for research to expand the geographic and temporal scope of the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) calibration and validation database. This database contains field and airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data that is used to calibrate GEDI's biomass algorithms, which could also support validation...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop a global database of tree and water cover using multi-source satellite imagery. The $749,960 grant will refine existing Landsat-based maps of tree and water cover for 2000, 2005, and 2010, and then estimate annual tree and water cover from 2010 to 2015 across North and South America. The research will be partnered with the European Space Agency's...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for research related to quantifying the relationship between biomass density and expected error from three future NASA missions: GEDI, NISAR, and ICESat-2. The key objectives of the research are to identify sources of error in high biomass forests, assess data fusion techniques to increase accuracy of aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation, and...
- This is a $893,620.97 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) on October 31, 2017 with a completion date of October 31, 2022. The grant aims to develop remote sensing-based and modeling tools to characterize, quantify, understand, and predict forest degradation in the tropical woodlands of the Miombo region of Southern Africa. The project has three key objectives: 1) Prototype a remote sensing-based approach to...
- This is a $142,127.35 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montclair State University. The purpose of the project is to use semi-automated interpretation of high-resolution satellite imagery to assess changes in shrub cover and aboveground biomass in the Arctic tundra over a 10-15 year period. The goal is to provide data that can be used to validate lower spatial resolution remote sensing data products, initiate and calibrate ecological...
- This is a $890,482.84 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to conduct research on the impacts of increasing fire severity on the combustion of legacy carbon in forest and tundra ecosystems across the northern regions of North America. The research aims to develop a mechanistic understanding of the ecosystem, landscape, and fire characteristics that control the loss of this long-stored carbon, and to examine the consequences for post-fire permafrost and...
- This is a $239,886 grant awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on linking forest biomass and carbon exchange using LiDAR-derived forest structure and airborne flux observations. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 11, 2026. The University of Maryland, College Park is a U.S. state government entity and 1862 land grant institution of higher learning that has received various federal...
- This is a $1,221,249.00 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho. The contract is for a study to integrate light detection and ranging (LiDAR), passive spectral, and tree ecophysiological data to link biophysical structure to ecological function in the forest tundra ecotone (FTE), which is the world's largest ecological transition zone. The objective is to...
