This federal grant award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for research related to improving the modeling of soil nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions using data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite. The $450,000 grant will be used to: 1) integrate SMAP soil moisture data into the Community Land Model to improve the understanding of processes underlying N2O and CH4 emissions, 2) use SMAP data to evaluate and improve the CLM's simulation of soil moisture, and 3) perform sensitivity experiments to assess potential changes in natural emission rates of CO2, CH4, and N2O under various climate change scenarios. The grant has no set-aside designation and represents a larger NASA research program focused on using satellite data to refine global land trace gas emissions and their climate feedback. MIT frequently partners with federal agencies like NASA on cutting-edge research projects across scientific and technological fields.
