- This is a $599,220 federal grant award from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as Columbia University, for the "BIOSCAPE - MAPPING OF PHYTOPLANKTON FUNCTIONAL TYPES FROM SPACE IN SUPPORT OF COASTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND DECISION SUPPORT ACTIVITIES" project. The grant, which has a performance period ending on May 31, 2026, will support Columbia...
- This federal contract award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University, supports research to improve satellite-based measurements of ocean net primary production (NPP) and enhance understanding of the ocean's role in the global carbon cycle. The $865,926 grant is part of NASA's CMS (Carbon Monitoring System) program, which aims to promote the utility of space-based assets for studying the Earth's carbon cycle. The project will develop a novel...
- This federal contract award is for a research project led by the University of South Florida (USF) to develop practical methods for detecting and quantifying surface oil using existing satellite-based remote sensing data. The project aims to address challenges in using passive remote sensing (reflected sunlight) to both detect the presence/absence of oil and quantify the oil volume or thickness, particularly in the presence of sun glint. The $90,889.56 award from the National Aeronautics and...
- 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 $481,776 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Oregon State University on June 20, 2018. The grant is for a research project to advance the understanding of global ocean phytoplankton through the use of satellite remote sensing data from the MODIS-Aqua and CALIOP sensors. The research aims to improve the parameterization of ocean color inversion algorithms to generate global fields of particulate backscatter and absorption coefficients, which will...
- This federal contract award, valued at $120,000.00, was issued by the Shared Services Center (an agency of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to further elucidate the linkage between in situ optical signatures and phytoplankton community structure, as well as develop a relationship between these optical signatures and the non-photosynthetic microbial community. The research aims to advance the use of ocean color remote sensing...
- This $97,475.89 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to examine the in situ dynamics of coastal phytoplankton blooms in relation to routine harmful algal bloom (HAB) forecasting models. The purpose is to assess the ecosystem response to the 2016 El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event in the California Current. This work supports NASA's Harmful Algal Bloom Response program. The grant does not...
- This is a $724,000.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian U.S. government agency, to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York for the research project "Multisensor Observation of Drivers of Phytoplankton Community Structure and Productivity in the Tropical Atlantic Ocean." The research aims to use satellite measurements to analyze carbon fixation in the tropical Atlantic domain. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating open...
- This is a $803,591.87 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating as Columbia University through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division. The grant is for the "Decision and Information System for the Coastal Waters of Oman (DISCO) - An Integrative Tool for Managing Marine Ecosystems in a Time of Changing Climate". The project aims to develop a decision support system that will...
- This is a $590,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of South Florida (USF) to advance the science of satellite data analysis for mapping ocean biogeography. The project aims to differentiate short-term anomalies from long-term trends in the taxonomic and functional diversity of marine life, using data from the Aqua, Suomi-National Polar-Partnership (SNPP), and Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) satellite series. The goal is to...
This federal contract award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the effects of natural hydrocarbon seeps on surface phytoplankton populations. The $170,253.38 research grant aims to test three hypotheses related to elevated chlorophyll concentrations observed near natural seeps in the Gulf of Mexico and other regions. The study will leverage advanced autonomous platforms like Saildrone and Bio-Optical APEX floats, as well as flow cytometry and HPLC pigment analysis, to further understand how subsea floor activities can impact surface organisms and carbon cycling. This award is not associated with a set-aside program and supports NASA's strategic objective to advance knowledge of Earth as a system to address environmental change challenges.
