- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), through its Office of Research Administration, was awarded a $135,000.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to demonstrate the applicability of 35 GHz Ka-band radar for mapping water surface inundation and elevation, and to investigate and quantify sources of absolute errors in water surface elevation estimates. This grant has a performance period ending on December 31, 2023. UCLA is the prime contractor for...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AO43H, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to develop new methods for monitoring the health and predicting changes in Louisiana's wetlands. The $119,991.18 award will integrate NASA's UAVSAR and AVIRIS-NG airborne remote sensing data with field data to map wetland species, estimate aboveground biomass, and model the impacts of sea level rise. The methodologies developed will...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The contract supports a research study to assess the performance of different data assimilation approaches for inferring river discharge from surface water elevation measurements collected by the upcoming NASA/CNES Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission, which is scheduled to...
- The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), through its Office of Research Administration, was awarded a $49,523.79 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to produce digital elevation models (DEMs) that provide three-dimensional information about outcrops and landscapes to facilitate scientific analyses. The contract has a performance period running from May 17, 2021 to February 14, 2024, and does not have a set-aside designation. UCLA,...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the mechanisms behind droughts and the coupling between ecosystem and water cycle over the Congo Basin. The study will leverage multiple NASA satellite datasets to fill a knowledge gap in this area. The award was made on September 1, 2020, and has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2024. The contract is not designated as...
- This is a $106,953.51 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on September 1, 2018. The contract is focused on using data from airborne imaging spectrometers to quantify the impact of the 2012-2016 California drought on vegetation across urban landscapes. The goal is to assess the capabilities of these imaging spectrometers to track changes in vegetation health and condition over time in urban areas....
- This federal contract award to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) aims to improve the accuracy of earthquake source models and Earth velocity models by reconciling data from InSAR and seismic methods. The $103,384.62 award, granted by the NASA Shared Services Center, supports research to better constrain earthquake locations and source mechanisms, which is critical for hazard assessment and forecasting. The project leverages upcoming satellite missions like...
- This is a $278,019 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct research related to land surface change and associated natural hazards. The grant supports the development of predictive capabilities and early warning technologies for major earthquakes, focusing on modeling the dynamics of tsunamis using the Tsunami Squares method. The work builds upon previous NASA-funded efforts to model earthquakes,...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for a research project titled "Uncovering Water and Carbon Tradeoffs in Three California Oak Species with Hyperspectral Remote Sensing". The project, which does not have a set-aside designation, will run from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. As a prominent public research university and 1862 Land Grant College, UCLA has extensive...
- This is a $135,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) on September 1, 2018. The grant supports research to characterize the topology and flux partition characteristics of Arctic delta channel networks and their connectivity with thermokarst lakes. The goal is to improve understanding of how localized changes in connectivity drive system-wide response and reorganization in...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant contract to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to use NASA's Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Synthetic Aperture Radar (UAVSAR) data to improve understanding of land subsidence and levee seepage in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta region of California. This supports NASA's Disasters Applications objectives to use earth observations to predict, prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural and technological disasters. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, runs from September 1, 2017 to August 31, 2020. UCLA's Office of Research Administration is the prime contractor, leveraging the university's expertise, facilities, and partnerships to develop automated GIS tools for the California Department of Water Resources to monitor the Delta's critical levee infrastructure.
