- This is a $687,078 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a project titled "Mapping Boreal Forest Biomass Recovery Rates Across Gradients of Vegetation Structure and Environmental Change." The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund research to study boreal forest recovery and the impacts of environmental changes. UMD, a prominent U.S. state government entity and research...
- This is a $548,426 grant awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant supports the expansion and curation of a global field and airborne LIDAR database to calibrate and validate the algorithms for NASA's GEDI (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation) spaceborne LIDAR instrument, as well as other space-based biomass monitoring missions like NASA's NISAR and ICESat-2, and ESA's BIOMASS. The...
- The University of Maryland, College Park was awarded a $844,256 grant contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct research quantifying and assessing hot spots of global forest disturbance from 2021 through 2024. As the prime contractor, the University of Maryland will leverage its expertise in remote sensing and geospatial analysis to support NASA's ongoing Earth science missions aimed at better understanding climate change and its...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to continue developing a framework for estimating high-resolution forest carbon stocks and dynamics using remote sensing and ecosystem modeling. The $1,229,573.24 grant aims to expand upon previous prototypes at the county/state-scale to cover the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) domain and ultimately the contiguous United States. Key objectives include...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop a global database of tree and water cover using multi-source satellite imagery. The $749,960 grant will refine existing Landsat-based maps of tree and water cover for 2000, 2005, and 2010, and then estimate annual tree and water cover from 2010 to 2015 across North and South America. The research will be partnered with the European Space Agency's...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for research related to quantifying the relationship between biomass density and expected error from three future NASA missions: GEDI, NISAR, and ICESat-2. The key objectives of the research are to identify sources of error in high biomass forests, assess data fusion techniques to increase accuracy of aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation, and...
- This is a $239,886 grant awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on linking forest biomass and carbon exchange using LiDAR-derived forest structure and airborne flux observations.
