This is a $198,495 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to South Dakota State University (SDSU) to conduct research on detecting land surface phenology from high-resolution satellite imagery in the semiarid western United States. The award is pursuant to the ROSES2020 A.42 solicitation focused on commercial smallsat data analysis. SDSU, a public land-grant university, has a history of federally-funded research and support work for agencies like the Army Corps...
This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC21K1142, is a $782,947 grant for research awarded to South Dakota State University (SDSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The purpose of this grant is to continue improving the radiometric integrity of Landsat imagery, which will allow users to advance their understanding of the Earth on a global scale. This grant is not associated with a set-aside program. SDSU is a public, land-grant research university that conducts...
This federal contract award is to South Dakota State University (SDSU) for the development of software tools to support the geometric registration of data from the Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2 satellite sensors. The $100,012 grant is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and is focused on addressing misregistration issues between the two sensor systems, which have limited the ability to meaningfully combine their data for land monitoring applications. The award is not...
This $850,647.00 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University to develop and implement a decision support system (DSS) for scenario planning, forecasting, policy development, and reporting related to Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15) - Life on Land. The project aims to assist Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru in meeting the Convention on Biodiversity 2020 targets by integrating Earth observation data and biological data to produce...
This is a $88,551.62 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, doing business as the Health Sciences Division, to map improved mangrove forest extent in the West Africa region and changes in mangrove extent for 2 case study areas in Africa and 1 in Southeast Asia. The grant will utilize high-resolution optical satellite data from Landsat 8 and Sentinel 2, as well as microwave satellite data from...
This federal contract award, with the ID NNX15AP81G, was granted by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, to South Dakota State University (SDSU) to conduct research on the impacts of environmental change on high-elevation communities in Central Asia. The $1,004,330.41 grant supports a project that evaluates four aspects of environmental change, including changes in thermal regime, moisture regime, socioeconomic conditions, and land cover, and their linkages to community...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to South Dakota State University (SDSU) for a project titled "Monitoring and Projecting Environmental Change in Fragmented Tropical Forest Landscapes". The $337,744.42 award is intended to develop a workflow for using Landsat satellite imagery to monitor tropical forest dynamics in the Upper Guinean Forests of West Africa, and to create a land change simulation model to project future forest conditions under climate and land use change scenarios. The project also includes capacity building activities to transfer the knowledge and tools to natural resource management partners in Ghana. This grant builds upon SDSU's ongoing research on forest landscape change in West Africa using Landsat and MODIS satellite data. The award does not have a set-aside designation, as SDSU is a public land-grant university.
