- This federal contract award, NNX17AH66G, was granted to Texas A&M University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $317,692.31 grant will fund research to explore relationships between lightning and environmental conditions using satellite data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) on the International Space Station, as well as environmental data from the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for...
This federal contract award (NNX16AJ70G) was made by NASA to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to support research on lightning as an indicator of climate change. The $103,568.71 grant requires the expertise of Dr. Brian VanTull of the City College of New York to analyze lightning data, including from the new GOES-R satellite, and examine the relationship between lightning, precipitation, wildfires, and socioeconomic impacts. The research tasks include developing code to analyze dry lightning and other climate indicators, participating in science meetings, supporting conference presentations and publications, and providing midterm and final reports. This grant is not a set-aside and is part of NASA's broader efforts to support the National Climate Assessment. RFCUNY, the fiscal administrator for externally sponsored programs at the City University of New York, has extensive experience managing complex federal contracts and grants across a range of scientific and technical domains.
