- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of South Carolina (USC) is for a research project focused on water management decisions in the Lower Mekong River Basin. The $97,690.45 grant will utilize the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) land surface model along with NASA satellite data and in-situ observations to support decision-making in the region. Key aspects include using NASA precipitation, vegetation, soil moisture, and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 grant to the University of Southern California (USC) for research on remote sensing of spatial and temporal extent of the water table and intervening soil moisture profiles. The objective is to develop a wireless network of small in-situ and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)-based ground-penetrating radar (GPR) automated sensing nodes to map the altitude of the groundwater table and its spatiotemporal variability,...
- 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 is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop improved seasonal precipitation forecasts for the Middle East and Africa using NASA data and climate models. The $313,996 grant aims to combine statistical forecasting methods with dynamical climate models to enhance the predictive skill for seasonal water deficits in the region, which is critical for drought monitoring and water resource...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $461,399.50 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to develop a decision support system (DSS) that uses NASA satellite data, including Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) and land surface products, to optimize hydropower reservoir operations in Ethiopia and Tanzania. The objective is to improve medium-range streamflow and rainfall forecasts to increase energy production from existing hydropower systems while...
- This is a $177,651 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant will fund a research project to use NASA's Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) data to study the environmental and water quality impacts of the Ambaji and Zawar mines in the Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan. The objectives are to map minerals associated with...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to support climate services in East Africa and Southern Africa.
