- This is a $756,429 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute (DRI) to conduct research on the impacts of black carbon aerosols on atmospheric temperature and cloud cover. The research aims to better understand the "semi-direct effect" of absorbing aerosols on cloud processes across different global regions. The study will leverage satellite data from instruments like CALIPSO,...
- This is a $499,357.02 grant awarded by NASA to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute (DRI) to conduct research on the optical properties of atmospheric carbonaceous aerosols, especially in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral region. The research aims to improve the identification and quantification of carbonaceous aerosols and their radiative and climate-forcing properties using satellite and ground-based remote sensors. The contract is focused on characterizing the...
- This federal contract award, valued at $299,038.06, was made by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), specifically its Desert Research Institute (DRI) division. The contract is for research to examine the "IMPACTS OF ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR ON RADIATIVE AND DYNAMIC AEROSOL.EFFECTS IN STRATOCUMULUS REGIMES." This grant-funded research project has a period of performance ending on June 21,...
- This is a $543,144.75 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the Desert Research Institute (DRI). The grant will fund research to test the hypothesis that extreme radiation resistance in desert microorganisms is functionally related to photochemical oxidation of desiccated cells. The research aims to shed light on the widespread presence of radiation resistant organisms in environments with low natural...
- This award to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute (DRI) is for a Cooperative Agreement titled "LUMINESCENCE IMAGER FOR EXPLORATION" with a ceiling value of $226,384.00. The contract has no set-aside designation and was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support specialized environmental research and technical services. As a leading environmental research organization, DRI provides cutting-edge expertise in areas such...
- This is a $460,318 grant awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to the Desert Research Institute (DRI), a division of the Nevada System of Higher Education. The grant funds research into the climatic role of cirrus clouds, specifically exploring whether they are formed through homogeneous or heterogeneous ice nucleation. The research will leverage data from the CALIPSO satellite to better understand the properties of different cirrus cloud types and their radiative...
- This is a $155,882 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Nevada System of Higher Education's Desert Research Institute (DRI) to port the existing MODIS Collection 6 Dark Target aerosol retrieval algorithm to the MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS) sensor. The goal is to leverage MAS's higher spatial resolution compared to MODIS to better understand cloud contamination effects on aerosol retrievals and study aerosol-cloud interactions. The award will...
- This is a $516,874.00 grant awarded by a civilian federal agency to the Desert Research Institute (DRI), which is a non-profit research organization within the Nevada System of Higher Education. The grant is for research on the adaptations of desert cyanobacteria, lichens, and mosses that allow them to survive extreme environmental conditions near the limits of habitability, with a focus on their tolerance to wet-dry cycles, UV radiation, and oxidation. The research aims to challenge the...
