About this award
Oregon State University received a $484,894 grant award from a civilian federal agency on September 1, 2024, to develop a phytoplankton carbon algorithm for PACE OCI retrievals. The contract, designated as Grant For Research with no set-aside provisions, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2027, and will be performed at OSU's Corvallis, Oregon campus. PACE, the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem mission, represents NASA's oceanographic research initiative focused on understanding phytoplankton productivity and ocean carbon cycling. The phytoplankton carbon algorithm will support the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) aboard the PACE satellite by enabling the retrieval and quantification of phytoplankton carbon content from satellite observations, which is critical for monitoring ocean productivity and carbon dynamics on a global scale.
This research award aligns with OSU's extensive portfolio of federally funded marine science and climate research initiatives, where the university has demonstrated significant capability in advanced scientific research across environmental monitoring and oceanographic applications. The grant supports OSU's mission to advance scientific knowledge in critical areas such as marine ecosystems and climate science while contributing to NASA's broader objectives in understanding Earth's ocean systems and their role in global carbon cycling. The three-year funding period allows for comprehensive algorithm development and validation to enhance the scientific capabilities of the PACE mission.
