About this award
This $1,040,595 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park will fund the development and testing of an Aquatic Ecosystem Carbon Monitoring System. The goal of the project is to integrate NASA remote sensing data, in situ measurements, and process-based modeling to monitor major organic carbon fluxes and stocks of inland waters through November 2024. The University of Maryland will serve as the prime contractor, with the work taking place in College Park, Maryland. The grant aims to address large uncertainties in current estimates of carbon sources, sinks, and fluxes within North American aquatic ecosystems, which are critical to understanding and managing carbon important to human sustainability.
Description
Recent studies clearly show that inland waters not only transport c from land to coast, but also internally produce new and modify c, and act as significant c sinks and sources. However, our understanding and quantification of c stocks and flows of aquatic ecosystems is subject to large uncertainties. For example, the current estimates of c fluxes, sources and sinks (e.g. terrestrially-derived c, burial, and outgassing) of north american aquatic ecosystems are subject to an uncertainty of 100%. Furthermore, the components of the terrestrially-derived c that enters inland waters are very poorly constrained. The large uncertainties of aquatic c budgets impede reliable monitoring and effective management of c important to human sustainability. Therefore, our goal is to develop and test an aquatic ecosystem carbon monitoring system (aecms) that integrates NASA remote sensing data, in situ measurements and process-based modeling to monitor major organic c (OC) fluxes and stocks of inland waters.
