This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Scientific Committee On Oceanic Research, Inc. (SCOR), a non-profit organization, for satellite ocean color radiometry (OCR) research. The $288,663 grant will support SCOR's work to advance the science and applications of satellite-based monitoring of marine and freshwater ecosystems, which can provide insights into the impacts of long-term climate change. The grant does not have a set-aside designation...
This federal grant award to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography, with a ceiling value of $683,606, supports research to validate ocean color, biogeochemistry, net primary productivity, and phytoplankton community metrics using the California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) program. The grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and has a period of performance through March 4, 2028. Scripps...
This is a $1,124,316.97 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute. The grant is for a research project investigating the dynamic nature of marine eco-regions in the North Pacific using biological datasets and satellite oceanographic data. The project aims to study how "Meso-Marine Ecosystems" (MMEs) may move in response to changing ocean conditions,...
This is a $462,074.52 grant for research awarded by NASA to Odysea LLC, a woman-owned small business, for the "Salinity Continuity - Optimizing Relevance & Engagement (SCORE)" project. The grant will run from May 2021 through May 2024 and aims to serve the needs of NASA, the scientific community, and the public by emphasizing the societal relevance of ocean salinity data. Odysea LLC has previously received prime contracts and grants from NASA for related physical oceanography...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $168,472.72 grant to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit research institute, for the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) and Aquarius missions, which provide valuable observations of sea surface salinity (SSS). The grant is for research and was awarded on July 24, 2018, with a completion date of January 31, 2019. ESR has been awarded multiple prime contracts and subcontracts by NASA and the National Science Foundation for...
This is a $1,728,218.88 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Georgia TECH Research Corporation, doing business as the Office of Sponsored Programs, to conduct research on "Oceans Across Space and Time." The research aims to address the question of how ocean worlds and their biospheres co-evolve to produce detectable signals of past or present life. The grant will fund a multi-disciplinary team to study Earth's ocean...
This $442,503.36 grant award to Earth And Space Research (ESR), a nonprofit oceanographic research institute, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study near-surface salinity stratification. The research aims to investigate the processes controlling the generation and evolution of freshwater lenses in the Intertropical Convergence Zone, which create discrepancies between satellite-derived sea surface salinity data and in-situ measurements. ESR will combine...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $624,030 grant to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to develop the SABIA-MAR 1 satellite. This satellite is being built by the Argentina Space Agency (CONAE) to observe ocean color from a sun-synchronous orbit. It will use onboard cameras to measure top-of-atmosphere reflectance in multiple spectral bands to generate standard ocean color data products. The award does not have a...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to Odysea LLC, a woman-owned small business. The $688,160 grant supports the Ocean Science Salinity Team (OSST) in their efforts to effectively communicate the research and findings from NASA's Aquarius/SAC-D and Surface Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite missions, which have provided key data on ocean surface salinity and its impact on Earth's climate. The grant aims to develop...
This is a $803,591.87 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division. The grant is for the "Decision and Information System for the Coastal Waters of Oman (DISCO) - An Integrative Tool for Managing Marine Ecosystems in a Time of Changing Climate". The project aims to develop a decision support system that will...
