- This 3-year, $134,999.17 training grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract is focused on developing a novel dielectric model for organic soil that can enhance soil moisture and permafrost measurements from remote sensing data. Key objectives include: 1) designing a multi-static, dual-frequency microwave imaging system to characterize...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $450,402.59 grant to the University of Southern California (USC) to retrieve soil moisture profiles from CYGNSS satellite data. The project will develop bistatic radar scattering models to estimate soil moisture, including for bare and vegetated landscapes, as well as permafrost regions. USC will accumulate CYGNSS observations over 24-hour periods to improve the inverse problem and deliver daily soil moisture products with...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to American University, a private university located in Washington, D.C. The $123,636.00 grant funds research to contribute to collaborative forest inventory efforts in Alaska, improve characterization of the biogeography of interior Alaska, and develop more robust approaches for integrating NASA's G-LiHT hyperspectral and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. The...
- This federal contract award, valued at $763,646.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Grants and Contracts Administration Division. The award supports a study on the "Quantification of Thermokarst and Carbon Release in Ice-Rich Permafrost Regions." The objectives are to measure the spatial variation of thermokarst subsidence using remote sensing techniques, improve the quantification of thermokarst,...
- This is a $113,703 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado to conduct research on the impact of wildfire on permafrost active layer thickness (ALT) in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of Alaska. The University will use ground-penetrating radar and other field measurements to gather approximately 30,000 ALT data points both within and outside fire-affected areas. The goal is to statistically determine how fire impacts...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan Technological University is a $729,288 grant for research to assess the utility of NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data for monitoring organic soil moisture in boreal and arctic ecosystems. The goal is to improve models for fire danger prediction by comparing the SMAP data to ground-based measurements, weather-based indices, and other soil moisture data sources. The research...
- 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 federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to advance the understanding of boreal/arctic vegetation dynamics using multi-scale ground and remote sensing observations. The $119,999.98 training grant aims to study the spatial and temporal evolution of circumpolar boreal/arctic vegetation dynamics, including growing season and productivity, and the contribution of individual growing...
- This federal contract award, valued at $732,078.70, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to study wood biomass distributions and carbon cycle dynamics in the drought-seasonal savannas and woodlands of Africa. The award aims to develop improved remote sensing products, analyze current biomass distributions, project future biomass distributions under climate and land use change scenarios, investigate the presence and nature...
- This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution, to address research questions related to carbon pools and land-atmosphere exchanges in response to environmental change. The $702,794.69 cooperative agreement aims to improve the mechanistic representation of biogeochemical processes within the Community Earth System Model (CESM) in order to evaluate the...
