About this award
The University of Massachusetts Boston received a cooperative agreement valued at $742,226 from the Shared Services Center to conduct research on "Using Hyperspectral Imagery to Assess the Effects of Warming on New England Kelp Forests" (Contract 21-OCEANSTEP2-0022). The award, effective January 1, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, will be performed at UMass Boston's Dorchester, Massachusetts location. This contract does not carry a set-aside designation and represents the university's continued engagement in environmental and marine science research supported by federal funding. As a minority-serving public research institution and part of the University of Massachusetts system, UMass Boston brings substantial expertise in marine ecosystem research and earth observation technologies to this initiative.
The research project addresses climate change impacts on kelp forests in New England through the application of hyperspectral imagery, a remote sensing technology that captures detailed spectral information across multiple wavelengths. This work aligns with broader federal priorities around understanding and monitoring the effects of ocean warming on critical marine ecosystems. UMass Boston's track record of successful collaborations with organizations including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, combined with its demonstrated capabilities in earth observation data processing and marine science research, positions the institution to effectively deliver comprehensive environmental monitoring and assessment services under this cooperative agreement.
