This federal contract award, valued at $1,380,957.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), a non-profit educational institution. The contract aims to conduct interdisciplinary research that explicitly links coastal urban landscapes, wetlands, and estuaries. Key objectives include: mapping tidal marsh extent and plant communities, assessing linkages between wetland characteristics and nutrient/organic matter exchange with estuaries, quantifying impacts of wetland changes on estuarine ecology, and modeling the influence of future pressures. The research will leverage remote sensing tools, ecological datasets, and coupled hydrodynamic-biogeochemical models. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, and the work is scheduled for completion by July 19, 2024. As the parent organization, the City University of New York also holds numerous federal contract and grant awards across scientific and technical domains.
