The Regents of the University of Michigan has been awarded a $55,707 grant by a civilian federal agency through its Shared Services Center to conduct research on reducing satellite-measured XCO2 (carbon dioxide column concentration) biases through optimization of aerosol schemes in physics-based retrievals. The work will be performed at the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus through June 30, 2027, with an award date of July 1, 2024. This grant represents a non-set-aside research award...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $250,191 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan (doing business as the University of Michigan) for research related to the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) missions. The primary objectives of the OCO missions are to make global observations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere to improve understanding of the various processes controlling atmospheric CO2. This grant will focus on quantifying and attributing...
This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan for a research project titled "Integrating Models of Ephemeral Water and Wildlife Energetics Using Synthetic Aperture Radar". The award is for a period of 3 years, ending on October 3, 2026. The University of Michigan, a prominent U.S. state government-owned educational institution, will be conducting this research project without any set-aside...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $210,300.80 grant to the University of Montana to investigate the response of seasonal phenology, carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, and atmospheric CO2 to spring warming, soil thaw, and liquid water availability in North America. The research project, which does not have a set-aside designation, will leverage multi-scale carbon and water cycle observations, as well as land and atmosphere models, to elucidate the impacts of...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $444,321.00 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (doing business as the University of Michigan), a U.S. state government educational institution. The grant is for a research project focused on methane, which is an important short-lived climate pollutant. The period of performance runs from May 4, 2021 through May 3, 2025.

The Regents of the University of Michigan were awarded a $151,400.48 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate the impact of seasonal changes in temperature and water availability on carbon uptake and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations across North America. The research will leverage a combination of ground-based, airborne, and satellite observations, including new solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence measurements, to improve understanding of the interactions between the carbon and water cycles. The project aims to quantify trends in spring and fall phenology, carbon fluxes, and atmospheric carbon dioxide since 2002, and identify critical thresholds of water availability that influence the balance between photosynthesis and respiration. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
