This federal contract award, valued at $543,882.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) to develop ecosystem carbon indicators for the U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA). The goal is to link in-situ measurements, NASA satellite observations, and data-driven modeling to generate long-term, near real-time gridded estimates of carbon fluxes and ecosystem carbon indicators at the national scale. This will inform future NCAs, national-level climate policy, and the feedbacks between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere. The contract has no set-aside designation. UNH, as the prime contractor, will use its expertise as a land grant institution to perform the required research, develop visualization and analysis tools, and make the ecosystem carbon indicators available to agencies like the U.S. Global Change Research Group and the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program.
