- This is a $100,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The award is intended to provide in-season information about crop conditions and production prospects in major grain export countries like the United States and Russia, using earth observation data and machine learning analysis. This will help stabilize agricultural markets impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has limited government access to collect...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) is for the development of an integrated modeling platform using earth observations to simulate large-scale hydrological processes and food production. The $1,334,080.70 grant will support the creation of a decision tool to provide assessments of crop growth, agricultural water use, and available water supply, with the capability to forecast the impact of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $616,741 research grant to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) to develop new crop mapping and yield estimation products using data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Sentinel satellite systems. The grant aims to prototype a generalized approach for monitoring major crops like wheat, corn, and soybeans across large agricultural regions globally. It will leverage multi-temporal optical and microwave satellite data,...
- This $699,887 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park will increase the knowledge and skills of national analysts in using Earth observation (EO) data to monitor and report on food production indicators. The goal is to improve data-driven decision-making and reduce the burden of implementing risk management programs related to food shortages. The grant supports research to contribute to more objective and...
- This is a $377,608 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The grant supports research to analyze the influence of extreme weather events on regional crop yields around the world using satellite data from sensors such as MODIS and VIIRS. The goal is to improve understanding of how extreme events impact global food production, especially for major commodity crops like wheat and corn. The research will leverage...
