This federal contract award is a grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Conservation International Foundation, a non-profit organization. The grant, worth $429,582.00, is to develop state-space models that connect satellite time series data across different sensors to a network of forest inventory plots in order to quantify forest carbon dynamics across time and space. The research aims to pioneer this approach to enhance...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop a global database of tree and water cover using multi-source satellite imagery. The $749,960 grant will refine existing Landsat-based maps of tree and water cover for 2000, 2005, and 2010, and then estimate annual tree and water cover from 2010 to 2015 across North and South America. The research will be partnered with the European Space Agency's...
This federal contract award supports the development of a Global Land Cover, Land Use, and Land Cover Change (GLCUC) data record based on Landsat imagery. The prime contractor, Trustees of Boston University, will partner with the U.S. Geological Survey to create high-quality, high-resolution annual maps of global land cover, land use, and land cover change from 2001 to 2020. The $3,789,479.00 grant will provide critical information for modeling land surface biophysical properties, ecosystem...
