This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Colorado State University (CSU) to conduct research on the impacts of wildfires on water quality and watershed recovery. The $131,670.81 training grant aims to evaluate the relationships between vegetation recovery, as measured by satellite imagery, and water quality metrics in watersheds affected by the Hayman (2002) and High Park (2013) wildfires. The research will use field measurements, terrain analysis, and remote sensing to assess how vegetation indices correlate with nutrient export and retention in post-fire landscapes. This work aligns with NASA's objectives to enhance understanding of Earth systems and improve response to natural hazards. The award does not indicate the use of any set-aside designations. CSU, a public land-grant research university, will lead this effort through its Sponsored Programs division, which has experience providing a range of technical services to federal agencies.
