- 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 3-year, $134,999.17 training grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division. The contract is focused on developing a novel dielectric model for organic soil that can enhance soil moisture and permafrost measurements from remote sensing data. Key objectives include: 1) designing a multi-static, dual-frequency microwave imaging system to characterize...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $322,805 research grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, doing business as the University of Michigan, to develop a soil moisture retrieval algorithm for the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS). The CYGNSS mission consists of eight satellites that measure GPS signals to retrieve soil moisture data at a 10-15 km spatial resolution. The University of Michigan research team, which includes members of the...
- This is a $374,956.57 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division, doing business as USC. The grant is for research on Distributed Space Missions (DSMS), which can increase measurement samples over multiple, spatio-temporal vantage points. The research aims to enable smaller spacecraft to carry advanced imaging and radar payloads despite power and data downlink constraints....
- The University of Southern California will develop an integrative framework to enhance the resolution of coarse-resolution passive microwave observations under a $318,759 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. To be performed at the prime contractor's location in Dockweiler, California, the work supports NASA's earth science programs by addressing the disaggregation of coarse-resolution satellite imagery. The completion date is...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $294,663.81 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park to improve the accuracy and resolution of the United States Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service's (USDA-FAS) Remote Sensing Soil Moisture (RZSM) information. The project will utilize alternative NASA resources, including hydrologic models, forcing data, and satellite-based soil moisture data sets. This grant contract is not associated with a...
- This is a $464,245.69 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to characterize regional drought impacts using satellite observations from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission and the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission. The project aims to quantify the role of soil moisture variability from SMAP and total terrestrial water storage changes from GRACE in relation to...
- The University of Southern California (USC) has been awarded a $194,998 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct the "EO14042 AEROSOL CLOUD METEOROLOGY INTERACTIONS OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC EXPERIMENT (ACTIVATE)" research project. This 3-year grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will support USC's work to study the interactions between aerosols, clouds, and meteorology over the western Atlantic Ocean. As a leading private research...
- This is a $280,415.69 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to George Mason University for research to improve estimates of hyperresolution root zone soil moisture. The research aims to develop a high-resolution hydrological modeling system to better characterize soil moisture and its impact on local weather, climate, and water resources management. The project will leverage data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite, as well as...
- This is a $81,514.07 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The George Washington University (GWU) Student Accounts Office / Third Party Division for a project titled "Multi-Frequency Soil Moisture Measurements and Analysis". The project consists of two parts: (1) data analysis for NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Level 2 soil moisture passive-only products, and (2) integrating a P-band GNSS receiver into the COMRAD (Combined...
