About this award
The Trustees of Boston University received a $353,116 research grant from the Shared Services Center for a project titled "Using High Spatial and Temporal Resolution Commercial Imagery to Map Shrub Cover in the Tundra Biome." Awarded on October 5, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of October 4, 2026, this grant supports scientific research aimed at utilizing advanced commercial satellite imagery to monitor and map vegetation changes in Arctic tundra ecosystems. The work will be performed in Boston, Massachusetts, and no set-aside designation was applied to this award.
This grant reflects Boston University's established capabilities in conducting environmental and climate-related research for federal agencies. The project aligns with broader federal initiatives to understand and monitor climate change impacts on Arctic ecosystems, leveraging high-resolution geospatial data to track shifts in shrub vegetation—an important indicator of tundra ecosystem health and carbon cycling. As a comprehensive research institution with extensive experience managing federal research awards across multiple scientific domains, Boston University is well-positioned to execute this three-year investigation into tundra vegetation dynamics.
