- This federal contract award is a $417,795.50 grant to the University of Colorado, a public research university, to continue its activities as part of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) Flux Inversion Theme Group's global carbon dioxide (CO2) flux inversion model intercomparison project (MIP) for an additional three years. The project aims to help interpret new updates to the OCO-2, Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT), and OCO-3 CO2 data products, specifically by assimilating...
- The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded a $349,856.32 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to conduct research related to atmospheric transport biases in inverse models of carbon dioxide from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite. The proposed research aims to improve CO2 flux estimates by addressing transport errors, developing bias...
- This is a $1,282,535.77 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The grant supports research to better understand the global sources and sinks of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4), leveraging a combination of in-situ measurements, remote sensing data, and isotopic source signature analysis. The research aims to identify spatial...
- This is a $544,306.45 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Colorado to study the dramatic increase in the amplitude of the CO2 seasonal cycle observed in northern high latitudes since the 1960s. The project will develop a high-resolution regional inverse modeling system, CarbonTracker-ABOVE, that integrates satellite and in-situ trace gas measurements, as well as satellite-based land products, to quantify the contributions of various processes...
- This is a $440,227.28 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado (CU) to support research related to the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite mission. The grant will fund a multi-year effort to utilize high-altitude aircore measurements and aircraft data to improve the bias corrections and scaling of OCO-2 total column carbon dioxide (XCO2) retrievals, and to evaluate the accuracy of flux estimates from OCO-2 data in climate...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, to conduct research titled "CAN SPECTRAL OBSERVATIONS FROM AIRS ENHANCE THE DETECTION OF RECENT AND FUTURE ARCTIC CLIMATE CHANGE?". The award, which runs from September 1, 2022 to August 31, 2026, is for fundamental research to expand scientific knowledge...
- This federal contract award, valued at $806,723.67, was granted by the Shared Services Center (an agency of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract is for research aimed at improving the use of aerosol and trace gas remote sensing data from sources like the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer...
- This is a $110,362 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) for research on "Constraining Carbon Fluxes and Transport Patterns Using New Spatiotemporal Information in Remotely Sensed CO2." The award has a performance period from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2027. CU, a prominent public research university in Boulder, Colorado, has extensive expertise in space sciences, climate research, and federal...
- This is a $272,283 grant contract awarded by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center (part of NOAA), to The Regents of the University of Colorado (CU) on March 1, 2024. The contract is for "Assessing the Broad Scale Carbon Sources and Sinks Implied by OCO 2 and OCO 3 XCO2 Retrievals Using an Ensemble of Atmospheric Transport Models with Controlled Experiments in Forward and Inverse Mode." The contract has a completion date of February 28, 2027 and was not set aside for...
- This is a $120,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, is for the University of Colorado to measure the temperature-dependent absorption cross-section of the O2O2 molecule in the 630 nanometer, 315 nanometer, and 328 nanometer spectral bands. This data will be used to...
This is a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, for an "Airborne Seasonal Survey of CO2 and CH4 Across Above Domain". The objective is to improve understanding and predictive capabilities for modeling the land-atmosphere exchange of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) in the Arctic Boreal Ecosystems to better understand the feedbacks of these greenhouse gases. The $933,235.87 contract will fund airborne measurements, analysis of the data, inverse modeling, and evaluation of satellite data from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2). This contract does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Colorado has experience conducting federal research across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines, including past work for NASA, the Department of Defense, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
