This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K0182, is a $840,430.53 grant for research that was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University (CSU). The research aims to investigate how human behavior, land use, and atmospheric water recycling interact to enable or hinder the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #15, which relates to life on land, in Kenya.
The project involves developing a cross-scale modeling system that captures household decisions, ecosystem change, and atmospheric water recycling, using NASA remote sensing data. Researchers will simulate scenarios to analyze feedbacks, interactions, and thresholds across scales in achieving SDG #15 targets related to forest area and composition. The project also includes stakeholder engagement with in-country partners in Kenya. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, and CSU is the prime contractor. The research advances NASA's interests in understanding the sustainability of land and water resources, particularly in the context of climate variability and change.
