This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The $521,806.90 grant is intended to support research aimed at developing a synthetic, flexible, and extensible approach to monitoring, reporting, and verifying the terrestrial carbon cycle. This effort seeks to integrate data from a variety of remote sensing sources, including optical, lidar, and radar measurements, as well as field observations, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of carbon pools, fluxes, and disturbances. The research is intended to inform top-down atmospheric inversion models that currently lack the ability to fully incorporate these bottom-up carbon estimates. The contract has no set-aside designation and was awarded on September 22, 2017, with a completion date of September 21, 2022.
