This federal contract award to the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston) is focused on the continued maintenance and production of climate quality land surface albedo, bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), and nadir BRDF-adjusted surface reflectance (NBAR) products from the Suomi-NPP and JPSS (NOAA-20) satellite missions. These products provide essential data on the radiative character of the Earth's land surfaces, which is critical input for climate, weather,...
This $560,720 federal grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation to the University of Massachusetts Boston to support research on land surface albedo. The project aims to leverage complementary satellite remote sensing data from Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 to improve temporal and spatial resolution estimates of land surface albedo, particularly in response to seasonal changes, snow cover, and ecosystem disturbances in northern high latitude regions. As a public research university, the...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $299,654 grant to the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston) to maintain and extend the daily Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) albedo, nadir reflectance, and surface anisotropy products through the end of the Aqua and Terra satellite records. These high-quality MODIS products have been used extensively by the modeling and monitoring communities over the past 16 years to improve understanding of...
The U.S. government has awarded a $99,896 grant contract to the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston) to provide extended maintenance and continuity of the Terra/Aqua MODIS albedo, NBAR, and BRDF algorithm. This contract is not set aside and will run through September 30, 2026. UMass Boston, a state-controlled institution of higher learning, will utilize its academic expertise to deliver the contracted services. The funding agency is the National Aeronautics and Space...
This is a $270,970.78 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston) on September 1, 2016. The contract is for UMass Boston to provide assistance to the NASA team in the implementation and testing of cloud-free, atmospheric-, terrain-, lunar BRDF-, thermal-, and straylight-corrected nighttime lights products being developed from the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) Visible...
This is a $99,937.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) for the processing of Ku-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from the Trail Valley Creek site for snow studies. The award is not associated with a set-aside program. UMass, acting as the prime contractor, will leverage its research expertise across disciplines like engineering, computer science, and environmental studies to support this NASA initiative...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K0509, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of Massachusetts Boston. The contract, with a ceiling value of $84,342.00, is a grant for research to investigate the sensitivity of bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) corrections to the particle scattering phase functions. This research aims to better understand the uncertainty in BRDF corrections, which is critical for accurately measuring...
This is a $100,173.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to conduct research and evaluation of X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data for ecosystems and snow applications. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a public research university, UMass has a history of conducting federal research under both prime and subcontract awards from agencies such as the National Science...
This $1,261,137.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to support the Climate and Cryosphere International Project Office of the World Climate Research Program. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, funds research related to climate and cryosphere studies. As a major public research university, UMass leverages its extensive academic resources and expertise across...
This federal contract award to the University of Maine System (UMS) supports research on the rapid response of the Greenland Ice Sheet to climate forcing over the past two decades. The $94,852.43 training grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will investigate the mechanisms controlling dynamic mass loss at the marine boundaries of outlet glaciers. This contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UMS's broad capabilities and competitiveness...
