The...
- This federal contract award, valued at $703,395.08, was made by NASA to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to improve West African climate information services. The goal is to co-develop a 21st Century Agro-Pastoral Water Deficit Prediction System with SERVIR's West Africa Hub, AGRHYMET, and the African Centre of Meteorological Application for Development. This will involve modernizing the existing agro-pastoral water deficit monitoring system using NASA satellite data and...
- This is a $232,859.73 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on rainfall climatology and forecasts for predicting crop yields in Ethiopia. The grant will enable UCSB to leverage global meteorological datasets and forecasting models to strengthen climate data collected locally by Ethiopia's National Meteorological Agency (NMA). This will help the NMA provide short-term forecasts for planting,...
- This is a grant awarded by NASA to Columbia University in the City of New York to support the SERVIR Applied Sciences Team Program. The grant, valued at $716,794.93, focuses on translating advances in climate research into information relevant for policy dialogue and development practice in West Africa, particularly around natural resources management and climate change adaptation. Key activities include collaboration on applied climate research, transfer and co-development of IT solutions,...
