- This federal grant award to the University of Houston System (UHS) is for a project titled "Building Lasting Capacity for Water Management in Vulnerable Deltas of Indochina". The $598,435.23 grant is funded by NASA to develop a comprehensive system for monitoring and forecasting water resources in the Mekong, Red, and Chao Phraya river basins in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. The project aims to reach Application Readiness Level (ARL) 7-9 by 2019 for products and applications using...
- This $97,000.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to support the "Monitoring and Forecasting Drought and Crop Yield for the Lower Mekong Basin" project as part of the SERVIR Mekong program. The project aims to develop a modeling framework to provide the SERVIR Mekong region with linked drought and rice yield nowcasts and forecasts. This will involve implementing a hydrologic model coupled with a crop...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Michigan State University (MSU) to study the impacts of dam construction and irrigation expansion on wetland ecosystems in the Lower Mekong River Basin (LMRB). The $2,173,112 grant aims to quantify the effects of these human activities on the phenology and biogeochemistry of key wetlands, such as Tonle Sap Lake. The research will utilize remote sensing data, hydrological and biogeochemical models, and...
- This is a $666,746.47 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Michigan State University (MSU) on August 20, 2018. The grant supports a research project focused on using remote sensing techniques and other advanced methods to understand the dynamic interactions among hydropower dams, ecosystem services, and rural livelihoods in the Lower Mekong River Basin (LMRB) in Southeast Asia. The project aims to inform policies in the LMRB by...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $684,942.31 grant to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) for a research project on "Regionally Specific Drivers of Land-Use Transitions and Future Scenarios: A Synthesis Considering the Economic Structure of Land Management." The project aims to develop a regionally-specific land-use transition matrix for the Southeastern United States that incorporates the economic factors...
- This is a $543,376.57 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Duke University to examine mangrove cover change and its impacts on ecosystem services in South Asia over a three-year period. The project will develop an operational methodology for monitoring annual mangrove cover changes, create a comprehensive database of these changes from 1985 to the present, quantify the impacts on carbon sequestration and biodiversity, and analyze the effectiveness of...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AH95G, was granted to George Mason University (doing business as Mason) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on land cover and land use change (LCLUC) in the Ganges Basin of South Asia. The $701,821.69 grant will enable the university to: 1) assess LCLUC from 2000-2015, 2) identify socioeconomic drivers of LCLUC, 3) develop future LCLUC scenarios, 4) evaluate impacts on food security, income, ecosystem services, and...
- This is a $796,158 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) to conduct research on the impacts of sea level rise on land use and land cover change in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region. The research aims to model how landowners in the coastal wetland-upland transition zone may respond to sea level rise through actions like retreat, resistance, or adaptation, and how those decisions would impact...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $742,285 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park for the project "SHIFTING CULTIVATION AT A CROSSROAD: DRIVERS AND OUTCOMES OF RECENT LAND-USE CHANGES IN LAOS PDR." As the prime contractor, the University of Maryland will conduct research on land use changes and shifting cultivation practices in Laos through December 31, 2024. No set-aside designation was used for this sole source award. As a...
- This is a $748,148 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Michigan State University (MSU) for research related to Southeast Asia's rapid urbanization. MSU is a top research university that provides a range of goods and services to federal agencies through both contracts and grants. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is intended to fund research on the doubling of Southeast Asia's urban built-up land over the...
This federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Miami University, a non-profit educational institution, to conduct research on land cover/land use change (LCLUC) in the Mekong Delta region of Southern Vietnam. The $420,780.15 grant will map agricultural, forest, and urban LCLUC using Landsat and very high resolution satellite data, and incorporate a sociocultural framework to model future LCLUC trajectories. The research will focus on the Nghe Tinh and An Giang provinces, home to ethnic minorities including the Khmer and Cham people, as well as the Hoa Hao form of Vietnamese Buddhism. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The research outputs will be shared with the NASA SERVIR-Mekong project.
