- This is a $197,194.41 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) Inc., a U.S. not-for-profit research and educational institution focused on oceanography and marine science research. The primary objective of this project is to develop and demonstrate the efficacy of a spectral reconstruction tool. The grant is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. BIOS has received over $10 million in federal...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $615,271.00 grant to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science to conduct the PICOGRAM project. PICOGRAM aims to classify shallow marine ecosystems, including coral reefs, using remote sensing data and in-situ measurements. This data fusion approach is intended to enhance the assessment and monitoring of global coral reef systems and support coral reef management efforts in regions like Guam....
- This federal contract award, identified as NNX15AR96G, was granted by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston) for a research project focused on coral reef environments in the Hawaii region. The $205,758 grant supports concurrent field measurements, including the collection of hyperspectral remote-sensing reflectance, bathymetry, water optical properties, and underwater video, to evaluate the quality of Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AH18A, is a Cooperative Agreement between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization. The $184,743 contract is part of NASA's "Coral Bleaching Assessment through Remote Sensing and Integrated Citizen Science" (CORALBASICS) program, which aims to engage local communities in Puerto Rico to monitor coastal water quality and the status of...
- This federal contract award is for a research grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa for the development of improved predictive models of coral disease outbreaks in the western tropical Pacific Ocean. The goal is to incorporate higher-resolution satellite-derived data, including sea surface temperature and ocean color, into the existing NOAA Coral Reef Watch decision support system. The $1,075,584.71 grant is being used to...
- This is a $165,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct remote sensing research on coral reefs. The grant has no set-aside designation, reflecting UCSC's status as a large research institution. UCSC is a Hispanic-Serving Institution and land grant university that frequently supports federal agencies through contract and grant awards. This research grant will leverage UCSC's expertise in fields...
- The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) was awarded a $641,331.25 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the impacts of sediments and nutrients from Belize's watersheds on the health and biodiversity of the Belize Barrier Reef lagoon system. The project will leverage historical NASA Earth observation data and in-situ measurements to analyze water quality dynamics and develop a model to forecast nutrient loads impacting the reef. UAH will collaborate...
- This federal contract award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) under grant NNX15AT98G is for research to use remotely sensed and simulated radiance data to extract information on coral reef benthic composition and coral bleaching. The $260,092.31 grant is part of the "Using HYSPIRI to Identify Benthic Composition and Bleaching in Shallow Coral Reef Ecosystems" program and is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The research will assess...
- This federal contract award, valued at $748,026.00, establishes a scientific partnership between the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI), the College of Charleston (CoFC), Kent State University (KSU), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Ames Research Center (ARC). The project aims to quantify the relationship between water optical properties observed by NASA's space-based sensors and in-situ measurements of optically active constituents on coral reefs. This research...
This is a $248,045 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS) Inc., a U.S. not-for-profit research and educational institution focused on oceanography and marine science. The grant supports a research project to quantify benthic cover and primary productivity of coral reefs across the Hawaiian archipelago using high-altitude AVIRIS airborne remote sensing data collected in 2016. The project aims to fill data gaps, reevaluate the relationships between coral reef condition and environmental parameters, and analyze changes in reef condition over the past 15 years. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, and BIOS is the prime grantee performing the research work. The overarching goal is to provide scientific insights that can help managers assess and forecast the impacts of climate change and other threats on these vital coral reef ecosystems.
