- This is a $1,082,792.78 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to evaluate crop productivity using solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) measured from ground and space. The goal is to provide a framework for using SIF to estimate gross and net carbon fluxes in agricultural systems. The grant leverages recent developments in measuring chlorophyll fluorescence and carbon exchange at the leaf, canopy,...
- This is a $277,449.73 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to deliver the annual global methane budget and its uncertainties from January 2018 through December 2021. The grant will utilize data, tools, and expertise built from previous NASA-funded research to provide a detailed accounting of methane sources and sinks, including partitioning by source type (e.g., fossil fuels, wetlands, agriculture) and the...
- This is a $679,366.21 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). The contract has no set-aside designation. The proposed work will focus on improving the data quality and scientific output of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2/3 (OCO-2/3) Solar-Induced Fluorescence (SIF) data products. This includes enhancing the understanding of the SIF data's dependence on sun-sensor geometry and using the growing OCO-2 SIF...
- This is a $410,335 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research related to the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) instruments. The research aims to improve the interpretation of spectral observations from the OCO instruments by developing state-of-the-art knowledge of carbon dioxide, oxygen, and interferant absorption coefficients. The grant has an ultimate completion date...
- The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was awarded a $289,222 research grant by NASA's Shared Services Center on October 18, 2019, for the Carbon Monitoring System in Mountains (CMS-MOUNTAINS) project. This initiative leverages satellite-based solar-induced fluorescence technology to advance understanding of forest drought and mortality patterns across the western United States. The research will be conducted at Caltech's Pasadena, California campus, with completion scheduled for...
- This is a $465,716.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research and development related to the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission. The purpose is to leverage the NISAR satellite system for solid Earth monitoring, scientific research, and rapid post-disaster response. As a leading research university with extensive experience supporting NASA programs, Caltech will provide technical...
- This is a $187,826.07 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research on the response of terrestrial carbon uptake to seasonal warming, soil thaw, and water availability across North America. The research aims to understand how changes in seasonal phenology, carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, and atmospheric CO2 concentrations have evolved over the past decade, particularly in climate-sensitive semi-arid and...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for the project "QUANTIFYING SEDIMENT CONCENTRATION IN CHANGING ARCTIC RIVERS USING NASA AVIRIS-NG IMAGING SPECTROSCOPY". The award is not set aside for any specific business category. Caltech, a private research university, will use this grant funding to conduct research related to quantifying sediment concentration in Arctic rivers...
- This is a $988,255.42 grant award from NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to continue coordinating, maintaining, improving, and analyzing long-term measurements from the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON). TCCON is a ground-based network of greenhouse gas monitoring sites that provides critical validation data for NASA and international satellite missions measuring atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane. The grant will fund Caltech's role in operating and...
- This is a $215,111.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university in Pasadena, California. The grant is for a project titled "MAPPING THE GALAXY COLOR-SFR RELATION WITH SPITZER AND HERSCHEL STACKS" and has a period of performance through June 30, 2026. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech, as a prime recipient of federal contracts and...
This is a $478,909.53 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for research related to the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on the Sentinel-5P satellite. The grant is for a 5-year period from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2021. The work will involve prototyping the TROPOMI retrieval algorithm, conducting initial data analysis, and performing operational data processing of the TROPOMI data. The research will also include validating the solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) data from TROPOMI and developing retrieval algorithms for 680nm SIF and ocean SIF. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech will be the prime contractor, and the work will be performed at their campus in Pasadena, California.
