This is a $1,907,075 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), doing business as RFCUNY - Advanced Science Research Center. The grant supports research to develop an integrated framework for analyzing coastal eutrophication and hypoxia in the South and Southeast Asia (SSEA) region. The project aims to establish geographies for bioactive constituents and coastal hypoxia risk, create a risk assessment toolkit, and provide NASA with science requirements for future remote sensing monitoring of these phenomena. The research focuses on the Krishna/Godavari and Mekong river basins as test cases, expanding the analysis to the broader SSEA region. There is no set-aside designation for this contract, which is scheduled for completion by August 2023. As the legal entity for CUNY research, RFCUNY has a track record of supporting scientific studies for federal agencies across a range of disciplines, leveraging the expertise of CUNY researchers.
