- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 training grant contract to The Trustees of Princeton University, Office of Research and Project Administration Division. The contract aims to study the use of satellite remote sensing to analyze the spatiotemporal variability of tropospheric ammonia (NH3) emissions, which is critical for air quality management. The research will validate satellite NH3 measurements using in-situ data, examine how satellite overpass...
- This federal contract award was issued by NASA to Princeton University to study the spatiotemporal variability of ammonia through syntheses of in-situ, ground-based, and remote sensing measurements. The $715,252.44 grant aims to identify how remote sensing measurements of ammonia can be used to improve air quality forecasts of PM2.5, a criteria pollutant. The activities will validate satellite measurements of ammonia, examine spatial and temporal variations, and integrate field data into Earth...
- This is a $764,879 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc. (AER), a subsidiary of Verisk Analytics, Inc. The goal of the project is to use NASA's satellite data on boundary-layer ammonia (NH3) concentrations to improve emission inventories for air quality managers, forecasters, and other stakeholders concerned with the health impacts of particulate matter (PM2.5) precursors like NH3. The project will integrate the...
- This is a $300,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State) for a research project titled "Understanding the Drivers of the Global Methane Increase Through New Sectoral Inverse Modeling of Methane, Carbon Isotopic Measurements, and CO-Emitted Pollutants". The contract is not set aside and will run from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. NC State, a prominent 1862 Land Grant institution, has a strong...
- This is a $850,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University Office of Research and Project Administration, doing business as Princeton University, for research related to measuring and understanding ammonia in the atmosphere. The research will involve integrating an existing ammonia sensor onto the NASA DC-8 aircraft to collect data on ammonia emissions from biomass burning and the subsequent chemical conversion of...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State) supports research to improve surface particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution modeling using satellite remote sensing data. The $89,250.78 grant aims to develop methods for linking aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements from high-spectral-resolution lidar (HSRL) with the chemical composition of PM2.5 as modeled by the Environmental Protection Agency's Community...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AM08G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State) to conduct research addressing challenges in global food production using satellite remote sensing data. The $236,113.53 grant aims to develop improved methods for mapping cropland extent and cropping intensity over time, and to model the impact of agricultural changes and climate change on surface water resources in the Lake Urmia basin...
- This federal contract award, valued at $543,882.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to develop ecosystem carbon indicators for the U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA). The goal is to link in-situ measurements, NASA satellite observations, and data-driven modeling to generate long-term, near real-time gridded estimates of carbon fluxes and ecosystem carbon indicators at the national scale. This will inform...
- This federal contract award, valued at $84,581.01, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State), a prominent public research university. The grant supports research related to NASA's fleet of satellites and ground-based remote sensing systems, which gather data on atmospheric particulate matter that can impact climate, weather, and public health. As a leading 1862 Land Grant institution, NC State has extensive experience...
- This is a $470,025.98 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to develop long-term surface concentration maps of atmospheric ammonia, nitrogen dioxide, and formaldehyde over the contiguous United States. The research aims to better understand the changing patterns of reactive nitrogen and volatile organic compound emissions, as well as the shifting chemical regimes of ozone and secondary...
This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to North Carolina State University (NC State) to study how agricultural ammonia (NH3) emissions are changing and how well atmospheric chemical transport models can predict the emissions, transformation, and removal of NH3 over agriculture-dominated regions. The $104,993.27 grant will utilize NASA Earth observation datasets from 2010-2014 to investigate NH3 trends, test model simulations, and improve the agricultural NH3 emissions inventory using inverse modeling. The goal is to integrate the new NH3 emission data into the National Air Quality Forecast Capability (NAQFC) to study the effect of NH3 emissions on air quality and nitrogen deposition. This work is relevant to advancing the understanding of changes in air quality resulting from changes in atmospheric composition. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
