About this award
The University of California Santa Cruz received a $207,085 grant award on July 31, 2024, for the "Airborne Assessment of Hyperspectral Aerosol Optical Depth and Water-Leaving Reflectance Product Performance for PACE" (AIRSHARP3) research initiative. This civilian research grant, funded through the Shared Services Center and scheduled for completion by July 30, 2027, will be performed at UCSC's Santa Cruz, California campus. The project supports NASA's Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission by evaluating the performance of hyperspectral remote sensing instruments designed to measure aerosol optical depth and water-leaving reflectance—critical parameters for understanding ocean and atmospheric interactions, climate dynamics, and marine ecosystem health.
No set-aside designation applies to this award, reflecting UCSC's status as a large, competitive research institution capable of securing open-market federal funding. The research aligns with UCSC's established portfolio of marine science and remote sensing research supported by federal agencies including NASA and NOAA. This grant builds upon the university's expertise in environmental monitoring, specialized instrumentation development, and oceanographic research that has consistently demonstrated strong technical capability in advancing national research priorities.
