- This is a $474,615.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) through its Office of Sponsored Research. The overarching goal is to understand the diurnal (daily) cycles of plant water use and carbon uptake using data products from the Ecosystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), and the FLUXNET network. This research is...
- This $222,827.52 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) for research to improve the basic theory for satellite microwave measurements of ocean wind-waves and wind stress. The goal is to further understand the physical mechanisms of ocean surface scattering at L-band frequencies, which will benefit applications such as the NASA Aquarius, Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP), and Cyclone Global Navigation...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC17K0552, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) to quantify and relate primary productivity, remineralization, and net community production in the mixed layer across different ecosystem/carbon cycling states. The $1,089,136 grant, awarded on August 18, 2017, will contribute towards determining upper ocean ecosystem characteristics that control the vertical...
- This is a $34,616.91 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to investigate the response of seasonal phenology, carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, and atmospheric CO2 to spring warming, soil thaw, and liquid water availability in North America since 2002. The research aims to quantify interannual variability in spring and fall phenology, CO2 fluxes, and atmospheric CO2, and identify critical water availability thresholds that...
- This is a $572,358.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), operating through its Office of Sponsored Research, to investigate interannual variability in freshwater transport along the northwest Atlantic shelf using satellite salinity data. The grant supports a collaborative effort between UNH, the University of Maryland, and the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER) to evaluate the use of...
- This is a $572,981.92 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration Division for research related to the ocean's carbon cycle and its response to climate change. The grant is focused on using Earth system models (ESMs) to understand how anthropogenic climate change will impact the ocean's solubility and biological carbon pumps, which have important implications for the coupled...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), part of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH), for a research project titled "Using Remote Sensing and Field Investigations of Suspended Sediments to Determine the Role of Resuspension Events on Nutrient Dynamics and Phytoplankton Responses in Western Lake Erie." The $541,319.50 grant will fund a study using in-situ observations, lab experiments,...
- This is a $249,826.57 Grant For Research award from NASA to the University System of New Hampshire (UNH), through its University of New Hampshire division operating as the Office of Sponsored Research. The purpose is to enable rapid scientific discoveries from the ICESat-2 satellite's high-resolution elevation measurements of the Earth's surface. The grant aims to: Develop an open-source Python package called ICEpyx for analyzing ICESat-2 data, Empower domain scientists to exploit the scale...
- This is a $536,050.79 grant award to the University of Rhode Island (URI) Research Office Division, doing business as URI - Research, from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The grant is for a research project titled "North Atlantic Plankton Population Dynamics: Quantifying the Predictive Values of Temperatures, Light and Hyperspectral Ocean Color Data." The research aims to measure plankton population dynamics, growth rates, and predator-induced mortality...
- This federal contract award is for a grant to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), part of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH), to support the generation of ocean color data products for the European Space Agency's (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI). The grant, valued at $121,097.46, is focused on the development of new tools and methods for using data from ESA's Sentinel-3 satellite, particularly the Ocean and Land Color Imager (OLCI) instrument, for water quality monitoring of...
This is a $264,917 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to conduct research on estimating net community productivity (NCP) in coastal waters using satellite data. NCP is a measure of the net carbon processing by both autotrophic and heterotrophic communities, which provides information about ocean carbon dynamics. The research aims to develop methods for retrieving NCP from geostationary ocean color sensors, which offer higher temporal frequency data compared to polar-orbiting sensors. This could enable better tracking of water masses and their constituent loads to improve NCP estimates, particularly in optically complex coastal environments. The grant is part of NASA's "Leadership, Measurements and Interpretation of Lagrangian Data from the Korea-US Ocean Color Cruise" program. There is no set-aside designation for this award, and it is structured as a research grant with a period of performance through September 2019.
