- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to Montana State University to develop a remote-sensing based decision support system (DSS) to enhance the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) geospatial portal. The goal is to produce ecological vital signs in support of the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) and provide tools to enable decision-making on forest fragmentation and connectivity by...
- This $689,631 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Temple University-Of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education (Temple University) aims to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) for biodiversity conservation and management in Colombia. The DSS will integrate and analyze Earth observation data to inform biodiversity decision-making. The project includes case studies, stakeholder workshops, and capacity building to support the implementation of the...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to South Dakota State University (SDSU) for a project titled "Monitoring and Projecting Environmental Change in Fragmented Tropical Forest Landscapes". The $337,744.42 award is intended to develop a workflow for using Landsat satellite imagery to monitor tropical forest dynamics in the Upper Guinean Forests of West Africa, and to create a land change simulation model to project future forest...
- This is a $998,860.80 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to support a project that will bring together experts to improve the quality, accessibility, and application of spatially explicit data and models related to human settlements, infrastructure, and population distribution. The project aims to identify data requirements to support sustainable development...
- This federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Northern Arizona University, a public research university located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The grant's total potential value is $489,972.80 and the completion date is December 25, 2021. The objective of the grant is to develop a consistent and scalable workflow using spaceborne lidar measurements to provide high-precision estimates of the extent and distribution of forest structural...
- 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...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Montana for a research project focused on modeling the likelihood of recruitment failure in semi-arid forests of the western United States. The $688,998.06 grant will support the integration of earth observation data, in-situ data, and a coupled ecohydrologic/plant hydraulics model to simulate indicators of seedling mortality, such as loss of hydraulic...
- This $860,822 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) supports a project with four key objectives focused on monitoring and managing forests, illegal gold mining, and invasive species in Benin and Ghana. The project leverages satellite-based remote sensing data and ecological forecasting methods to help the governments of Benin and Ghana address challenges related to deforestation, forest degradation,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $550,144.25 grant to the Conservation International Foundation, a non-profit organization, to strengthen the technical capacities of indigenous organizations in the Americas to utilize earth observation (EO) data for enhanced sustainable land management across indigenous lands. The project aligns with the ongoing Group on Earth Observations (GEO) AmeriGEOSS initiative to increase regional capacity for sustainable land use...
- This $945,565.00 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the San Diego State University Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports research and education at San Diego State University. The grant aims to leverage satellite data, in-situ biological data, and climate models to support sustainable fisheries management and promote progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 14, which focuses on sustaining healthy marine...
This $850,647.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University to develop and implement a decision support system (DSS) for scenario planning, forecasting, policy development, and reporting related to Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15) - Life on Land. The project aims to assist Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru in meeting the Convention on Biodiversity 2020 targets by integrating Earth observation data and biological data to produce indicators on ecosystem composition, vertebrate habitat suitability, and water risk under climate and socioeconomic change scenarios. The grant aligns with the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) efforts to help countries integrate the SDGs into their national development plans. This project will be the first to project land-use change and forecast the interactive effects of land use and climate change on essential biodiversity variables in the study area, serving as a demonstration for broader applications across up to 170 countries served by UNDP. The grant does not have a set-aside designation.
