This federal contract award to Oregon State University (OSU), a public land-grant research university, supports the development of new metrics for monitoring snow cover trends and impacts in a warming climate. The $460,348.18 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to create a suite of leading and lagging snow indicators to serve as climate change metrics for the National Climate Assessment. The project will leverage remote sensing, in-situ, and climate model data to quantify variability and trends in snow cover frequency, snow disappearance dates, and other key metrics across regions and watersheds. The findings will be communicated to relevant stakeholders through interactive visualizations and educational resources. This contract is not designated as a set-aside and represents the expertise of OSU and its parent organization, the Oregon University System, in climate science, environmental monitoring, and stakeholder engagement across federal agencies.
