This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to advance the understanding of boreal/arctic vegetation dynamics using multi-scale ground and remote sensing observations. The $119,999.98 training grant aims to study the spatial and temporal evolution of circumpolar boreal/arctic vegetation dynamics, including growing season and productivity, and the contribution of individual growing season components to gross productivity. The research will leverage data from satellite sensors like MODIS, VIIRS, and AVHRR in combination with ground observations from existing networks. The expected outcomes include a better understanding of how growing season regulates annual productivity and carbon balance, demonstrating the decoupling between warming and incremental productivity trends, and providing a scientific basis to project future boreal/arctic vegetation dynamics under climate change. This contract is not designated as a set-aside.
