The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $430,653 research grant to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant supports a project to study the impact of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) photobleaching on the accuracy of water quality measurements obtained through remote sensing of ocean color. The research aims to develop a database of CDOM photobleaching rates, assess the effects on apparent optical properties, and create a correction scheme to improve water quality retrievals from satellite imagery. No set-aside designation is mentioned. Boston University will leverage previous data from the GulfCarbon and Malina projects, and conduct new field and laboratory experiments in the Southern Gulf of Maine, while involving graduate, undergraduate, and high school students in the research.
