- This is a $431,029.00 grant awarded by a civilian federal agency to The Leland Stanford Junior University, a private research university, for a research project focused on investigating the use of NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite data to estimate live fuel moisture content (LFMC) and understand plant responses to drought. The project will compare LFMC estimates derived from SMAP's L-band vegetation optical depth (VOD) to existing LFMC estimates from MODIS to elucidate the...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) is for a research project titled "Quantifying Ecosystem Reliance on Groundwater." The $150,000.00 grant aims to improve understanding of how climate change-driven droughts impact vegetation and the terrestrial carbon sink, with a focus on the role of groundwater in sustaining ecosystems. The research will leverage in-situ and NASA remote...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Stanford University for research on the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission. The grant, valued at $322,552.91, aims to help ensure NISAR provides data that supports a wide range of scientific investigations and societal applications, with a focus on maximizing the mission's ability to observe surface deformation even in challenging environments through the use of persistent scatterer InSAR...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 grant to the University of Southern California (USC) for research on remote sensing of spatial and temporal extent of the water table and intervening soil moisture profiles. The objective is to develop a wireless network of small in-situ and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)-based ground-penetrating radar (GPR) automated sensing nodes to map the altitude of the groundwater table and its spatiotemporal variability,...
- The University of Oregon was awarded a $408,906.90 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to quantify the effects of long-term groundwater withdrawal on stress changes and seismicity in the Central Valley of California. The project aims to characterize surface deformation, hydraulic properties, and effective load changes associated with groundwater extraction in the region. The results will provide water management agencies with tools and datasets to address...
This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Leland Stanford Junior University, also known as Stanford University, to enhance decision-making for sustainable groundwater management in California's Central Valley. The $779,307 grant will leverage advanced data integration techniques, including interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data, to develop high-resolution groundwater models that can better predict the impacts of changing conditions and management actions on groundwater levels and land subsidence. This work directly supports the goals of the California Department of Water Resources and the State Water Resources Control Board related to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. The project involves partnering with state and local groundwater sustainability agencies to ensure the developed models and modeling approach meet their water management needs. There is no set-aside designation for this award.
