- 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 is a $749,927.87 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The grant supports a research project to 1) develop remote sensing methods to monitor forest degradation and regeneration in tropical deciduous forests of South Asia, and 2) assess how off-farm employment associated with urbanization alters the use of forest resources that leads to degradation. The project will focus on a study region...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop a global database of tree and water cover using multi-source satellite imagery. The $749,960 grant will refine existing Landsat-based maps of tree and water cover for 2000, 2005, and 2010, and then estimate annual tree and water cover from 2010 to 2015 across North and South America. The research will be partnered with the European Space Agency's...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to South Dakota State University (SDSU) for a project titled "Monitoring and Projecting Environmental Change in Fragmented Tropical Forest Landscapes". The $337,744.42 award is intended to develop a workflow for using Landsat satellite imagery to monitor tropical forest dynamics in the Upper Guinean Forests of West Africa, and to create a land change simulation model to project future forest...
- This $860,822 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) supports a project with four key objectives focused on monitoring and managing forests, illegal gold mining, and invasive species in Benin and Ghana. The project leverages satellite-based remote sensing data and ecological forecasting methods to help the governments of Benin and Ghana address challenges related to deforestation, forest degradation,...
- This is a $893,620.97 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) on October 31, 2017 with a completion date of October 31, 2022. The grant aims to develop remote sensing-based and modeling tools to characterize, quantify, understand, and predict forest degradation in the tropical woodlands of the Miombo region of Southern Africa. The project has three key objectives: 1) Prototype a remote sensing-based approach to...
- This is a $548,913.16 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to New Mexico State University (NMSU) - Office of Sponsored Programs to conduct remote sensing analysis and develop applications related to food security and land use/ecosystems in the West Africa SERVIR region. The project leverages existing NASA and National Science Foundation (NSF) funded research by the team. Key focus areas include satellite observation of pastoral zone...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, operating as Harvard University, for a project titled "Estimating Total Ecosystem Carbon in Blue Carbon and Tropical Peatland Ecosystems: Coastal Mangrove and Wetland Extent Mapping." The $144,802 grant funds work to be performed in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The project involves collecting and analyzing data on coastal wetlands in West Africa, including...
- This is a $840,079.86 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park for a study titled "Towards Near Daily Monitoring of Inundated Areas over North America through Multi-Source Fusion of Optical and SAR Data." The goal is to develop automated algorithms to monitor terrestrial inundation using Landsat-8, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 satellite data. The algorithms will be calibrated and tested across different biomes...
- This is a grant awarded by NASA to Columbia University in the City of New York to support the SERVIR Applied Sciences Team Program. The grant, valued at $716,794.93, focuses on translating advances in climate research into information relevant for policy dialogue and development practice in West Africa, particularly around natural resources management and climate change adaptation. Key activities include collaboration on applied climate research, transfer and co-development of IT solutions,...
