- This is a $889,987.00 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to investigate vegetation dynamics in the Arctic and boreal regions using satellite data, airborne sensors, and field measurements. The research aims to document changes in vegetation productivity and assess the progression of an Arctic-boreal biome shift, where tree productivity decreases and woody vegetation expands northward. NAU, a public research university and...
- This is a $133,085 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to conduct research on the impacts of an Arctic-Boreal biome shift on ecosystem dynamics and resource management. The research will leverage satellite data, airborne sensors, and field measurements to map and model changes in vegetation productivity, tree mortality, and habitat suitability across the boreal forest and tundra regions of Alaska and...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Northern Arizona University (NAU) for a research project titled "Mapping Tropical Forest Vulnerability to High-Temperature Extremes Using Satellite Thermal Measurements and Imaging Spectroscopy". The project, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, aims to use satellite data to assess the vulnerability of tropical forests to high-temperature events....
- Northern Arizona University was awarded a $150,000 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on October 21, 2022, to study the impacts of extreme heat and drought events on forest productivity. The research, led by student Jen Diehl, utilizes remote sensing data from multiple NASA instruments—the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-3 (OCO-3), the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (DESIS), the ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station...

The award is for a period of performance from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027. NAU is a public research university in Flagstaff, Arizona that serves as both a Hispanic-Serving Institution and a Native American-serving nontribal institution. The university has...
This is a $693,909 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to develop enhancements to the Madingley ecosystem model. The goal is to better incorporate data on 3D forest structure and animal traits in order to improve the model's ability to simulate and predict the impacts of factors like forest fragmentation and climate change on tropical forest biodiversity and ecosystem services. The project will leverage data from NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar mission as well as other sources. NAU, a public research university and Hispanic Serving Institution, has significant expertise in areas like forestry, environmental sciences, and STEM research, which it applies to support various federal agencies through contract and grant awards. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
