About this award
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was awarded a $150,000 research grant by a civilian federal agency effective September 1, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. The grant supports a research project titled "From Spectra to Mineralogy: A Remote Sensing Approach to Understanding Arid Dust Source Regions," led by student researcher Abigail Keebler. The work will be conducted at Caltech's Pasadena, California campus and carries no set-aside designation. This grant type reflects a competitive award to a premier research institution based on scientific merit and technical capabilities.
The research project addresses climate science and biogeochemical cycles by utilizing remote sensing and spectral analysis methodologies to characterize dust source regions in arid environments. As Earth's climate continues to change, understanding the complex processes that influence climate dynamics and biogeochemical cycling becomes increasingly critical. Caltech's extensive capabilities in scientific research and technical innovation, demonstrated through its portfolio of federal contracts and grants from agencies including NASA, the National Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy, position the institution to effectively execute this research initiative and contribute meaningful insights to climate science.
