The contract is a grant for research, with a period of...
This federal contract award is a grant for $275,713.00 from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Florida State University's Sponsored Research Administration division. The grant is for research using space-based remote sensing to advance scientific knowledge of tropical cyclone development, which is difficult to observe by other methods due to its occurrence over remote ocean areas. The contract has a completion date of May 14, 2025 and was awarded...
This federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida State University (FSU) supports research to improve the understanding of biomass burning and its impacts on air quality and climate in the southeastern United States. The $359,105.77 grant will develop an enhanced inventory of biomass burning emissions in the region, using ground-based observations to improve upon satellite-based estimates. The improved emissions data will then be incorporated...
This federal contract award from NASA to Florida State University (FSU) is for a research grant titled "PHOTOLYSIS THE BREAKING OF CHEMICAL BONDS BY SUNLIGHT IS THE PRIMARY DRIVING FORCE FOR REACTIVE ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY." The $228,344.90 grant will fund the development of a global 3D dataset of atmospheric photolysis rates (SAT-J) using NASA satellite observations. This dataset will be validated against in-situ aircraft measurements and used to evaluate and improve 3D atmospheric chemistry models. The project supports NASA's mission to quantify and understand Earth system processes controlling air quality and climate. FSU, a major public research university, will serve as the prime recipient on this grant, which does not utilize any set-aside designations.
