The award is for research related to the 2018 National Academies' "Thriving on Our Changing Planet" decadal strategy for Earth observation from space. UCSB, a renowned public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution, has a history of conducting cutting-edge scientific research and developing advanced...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for the development of hyperspectral equivalent water thickness retrievals to monitor water stress. The award is not set aside and has an ultimate completion date of October 3, 2026. UCSB, as a public research university, has extensive expertise in areas such as climate research, remote sensing, and measurement devices, which it will leverage to...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) received a $493.9K research grant from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center to investigate river response to climate change using high-resolution remote sensing data in High Mountain Asia. This grant award, issued on October 5, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of October 4, 2026, supports UCSB's research capabilities through its Office of Research and does not utilize a set-aside designation. The work will be performed at...
- This federal contract award, valued at $361,142.80, was granted to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop enhanced precipitation datasets and improved rainfed agricultural modeling. The project aims to connect NASA's precipitation measurement products with crop models, in order to serve the information needs of the food security early warning community and the FEWS NET Land Data Assimilation System (FLDAS). The...
- This $150,000.00 federal grant award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on "BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN LAND AND ATMOSPHERE BY QUANTIFYING WILDFIRE FUELS AND EMISSIONS." As a public research university, UCSB has extensive expertise in climate research and frequently collaborates with other leading institutions on federally funded projects. The grant, which has an ultimate completion...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop improved seasonal precipitation forecasts for the Middle East and Africa using NASA data and climate models. The $313,996 grant aims to combine statistical forecasting methods with dynamical climate models to enhance the predictive skill for seasonal water deficits in the region, which is critical for drought monitoring and water resource management. The grant leverages UCSB's expertise in climate science and modeling, and does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded through full and open competition. UCSB frequently collaborates with other research institutions on federal grants and contracts, and has a strong track record of securing funding from agencies like the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and NOAA for a range of scientific research projects.
