About this award
Northern Arizona University was awarded a $150,000 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on October 21, 2022, to study the impacts of extreme heat and drought events on forest productivity. The research, led by student Jen Diehl, utilizes remote sensing data from multiple NASA instruments—the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-3 (OCO-3), the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (DESIS), the ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS), and the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI)—to assess how climate change-driven increases in extreme weather events affect forest health and productivity. The work is scheduled for completion by October 20, 2026, and will be performed at NAU's Flagstaff, Arizona campus.
This grant represents NAU's continued engagement in climate and environmental research that aligns with federal agency priorities in understanding climate change impacts on critical ecosystems. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution and Native American-serving nontribal institution, NAU brings significant research capabilities to this project, supported by its established track record of collaboration with NASA, the National Science Foundation, and other federal agencies on climate adaptation, forest ecology, and planetary science initiatives. The research directly addresses the urgent need to understand and quantify forest ecosystem responses to increasingly severe drought and heat conditions, providing critical data for climate resilience planning and forest management strategies.
