UMD, a prominent U.S. state government entity and 1862 land grant college, is known for its...
- This is a $206,786 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to create a prototype hardware and software infrastructure to improve water management in the San Joaquin River watershed in California. The project aims to integrate NASA's Earth science data products and models to address water management challenges in the region. Specifically, UAH will deliver two distinct elements under this agreement: (1) generating a...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) is for the development of an integrated modeling platform using earth observations to simulate large-scale hydrological processes and food production. The $1,334,080.70 grant will support the creation of a decision tool to provide assessments of crop growth, agricultural water use, and available water supply, with the capability to forecast the impact of...
- 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 federal contract award, with ID NNX15AJ18H, was granted to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (Space Grant). The $3,481,163.35 training grant supports a portfolio of programs designed to develop the STEM workforce, aligned with NASA's strategic plan and education objectives. The programs aim to improve STEM instruction, increase youth and public engagement...
This federal contract award, with ID NNX15AN58H, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a public research university. The $105,000.00 training grant is focused on utilizing microwave (MW) and thermal infrared (TIR) satellite data to estimate soil moisture (SM) and apply these estimates to a crop model. The goal is to enhance an agricultural decision support system, particularly in remote areas lacking ground-based SM and weather observations. The key objectives include: (A) downscaling MW SM estimates, (B) coupling MW and TIR SM estimates, (C) developing MW/TIR coupled SM profiles using the principle of maximum entropy (POME) model, and (D) applying the optimized SM profile via Kalman filter to a gridded crop model. NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) imagery will be used to downscale coarse resolution MW SM data. This contract is not set aside and has a completion date of December 31, 2020.
