About this award
The University of Maryland, College Park received a $1.18 million grant award on September 1, 2023, to conduct research on pantropical structure and biomass mapping through the fusion of Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) and TanDEM-X satellite data. This Phase II project expands upon previous research by extending mapping capabilities to new geographic regions and incorporating change estimation methodologies. The work will be performed in College Park, Maryland, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2026. This civilian research grant falls under a broader federal commitment to leveraging advanced remote sensing technologies for global environmental monitoring and resource assessment.
The award was made with no set-aside designation, reflecting the University of Maryland's competitive technical capabilities in space-based earth observation research. As a research-intensive land-grant institution, the university brings substantial expertise in satellite data integration, geospatial analysis, and biomass quantification methodologies that support critical national priorities in climate science, environmental monitoring, and natural resource management. The project aligns with federal objectives in advancing our understanding of tropical forest dynamics and carbon sequestration—key factors in climate research and sustainability initiatives supported by civilian space agencies and environmental research programs.
