The research will leverage data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The $87,379.26 grant is for a 3-year research project to quantify urban biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes in the Los Angeles (LA) basin. The project aims to disentangle anthropogenic and biogenic contributions to urban carbon cycling and atmospheric CO2 enhancements by leveraging remote sensing data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) and OCO-3 satellites, as well as ground-based measurements. The research will develop a model-observation framework to study global urban CO2 source and sink processes, which can help inform mitigation strategies. This grant is not associated with a set-aside contract vehicle.
