About this award
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was awarded a $289,222 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on October 18, 2019, for the Carbon Monitoring System in Mountains (CMS-MOUNTAINS) project. This initiative leverages satellite-based solar-induced fluorescence technology to advance understanding of forest drought and mortality patterns across the western United States. The research will be conducted at Caltech's Pasadena, California campus, with completion scheduled for February 28, 2025. No small business set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting open competition for the contract.
This grant supports Caltech's continued role as a premier federal research partner in advancing NASA's environmental and earth science monitoring capabilities. The research aligns with broader federal efforts to develop innovative satellite-based observation systems for assessing forest health and carbon dynamics, critical priorities for understanding climate impacts and ecosystem resilience. The award represents Caltech's competitive success in securing funding for specialized scientific research initiatives that leverage advanced remote sensing technologies to address complex environmental monitoring challenges.
