- This federal contract award, valued at $1,007,689.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for the development and validation of spectral derivative algorithms to quantify concentrations of phytoplankton biomarker pigments. The goal is to support the upcoming Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission, which will provide high-resolution ocean color observations. The...
- This is a $5,999,093.33 grant awarded by a civilian federal agency to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on particle size distribution (PSD) and its impact on the fate of net primary production in the ocean. The research aims to develop a predictive understanding of PSD for both suspended and sinking particles, and how this relates to carbon export and remineralization profiles. The project involves an integrated research program of in-situ optical and imagery...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K0736, was provided to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue a long-term data collection effort supporting the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) ocean color algorithms. The $881,044.79 grant will fund the collection of high-quality in-situ optical data, including remote sensing reflectance spectra, chlorophyll-a concentration, and inherent...
- This is a $106,953.51 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on September 1, 2018. The contract is focused on using data from airborne imaging spectrometers to quantify the impact of the 2012-2016 California drought on vegetation across urban landscapes. The goal is to assess the capabilities of these imaging spectrometers to track changes in vegetation health and condition over time in urban areas....
- This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on September 1, 2018. The $135,000.00 training grant seeks to improve estimates of oceanic net primary production (NPP) by assimilating global-scale in-situ oceanographic tracer data with satellite-based observations. The proposed work aims to produce biogeochemically-consistent NPP estimates that can support NASA Earth science...
- This is a $185,501.00 grant award to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. 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 federal contract award, valued at $899,981.92, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to empower NASA scientists to work with NASA data on the cloud. The project aims to develop co-created community practices and resources that build on existing efforts in scientific coding, cloud computing, open science, and community engagement. As a public research university, UCSB has extensive expertise in various...
- This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on the South American Low-Level Jet (SALLJ) and its impact on precipitation. The contract is a grant for research, with no set-aside designation, and the ultimate completion date is October 3, 2026. UCSB, operating through its Office of Research, is a public research university with expertise in areas...
This federal contract award, identified as NNX15AN87H, was granted by NASA to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop and validate a novel algorithm that merges particle size distribution (PSD) information from both particle backscattering and absorption spectra. The project aims to improve upon current studies by providing a better understanding of the bio-optical complexity of the ocean, which is critical for characterizing global particle size distribution and phytoplankton size composition using remote sensing data. The $105,000 contract supports NASA's objective to study the Earth's systems from space and advance scientific understanding. UCSB, a public research university with expertise in areas such as climate research and remote sensing, is the prime contractor on this effort, which does not have a set-aside designation.
