This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). The $329,727 grant is for research to expand the geographic and temporal scope of the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) calibration and validation database. This database contains field and airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data that is used to calibrate GEDI's biomass algorithms, which could also support validation...
This is a $574,008 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for the GEOTREES project, a joint endeavor between ESA, NASA, and the Smithsonian. The grant supports research directly relevant to the calibration, validation, and application of data from NASA's GEDI mission, ICESat-2, and other current and planned NASA Earth observation missions. UMD, a research-intensive state university, has a broad portfolio of federal contract and grant awards across scientific...

The grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Maryland, College Park is the prime recipient, and this award is part of a larger contract...
This is a $429,145 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research on understanding post-fire disturbance forest recovery in Mediterranean ecosystems using the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) instrument. The grant has an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2028 and was awarded on May 1, 2024. UMD, as a prominent U.S. state government entity, 1862 land grant college, and...
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for research related to quantifying the relationship between biomass density and expected error from three future NASA missions: GEDI, NISAR, and ICESat-2. The key objectives of the research are to identify sources of error in high biomass forests, assess data fusion techniques to increase accuracy of aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation, and...
This is a $239,886 grant awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on linking forest biomass and carbon exchange using LiDAR-derived forest structure and airborne flux observations. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 11, 2026. The University of Maryland, College Park is a U.S. state government entity and 1862 land grant institution of higher learning that has received various federal...
