This $786,457 federal contract award to the Woodwell Climate Research Center, a non-profit organization, was granted by NASA's Shared Services Center to improve estimates of carbon dioxide and methane exchange in Arctic-boreal ecosystems. The research aims to enhance understanding of how changing environmental conditions and community structure in these rapidly warming regions are impacting atmospheric radiative forcing and climate. The contract supports integration of field observations, remote...
This federal contract award, NNX17AE13G, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Woodwell Climate Research Center, a non-profit research organization. The $1,377,716.44 grant supports a research project to investigate the causes and implications of enhanced seasonal CO2 exchange in Arctic and boreal ecosystems. The project will utilize remote sensing data, land surface modeling, atmospheric transport modeling, and meta-analysis of in...
This federal contract award, valued at $979,701.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Woodwell Climate Research Center, Inc., a non-profit research organization, to improve Amazon fire risk forecasts and minimize impacts on tropical forest ecosystems and human health. The contract, which runs until December 31, 2026, does not have a set-aside designation. Woodwell Climate Research Center specializes in climate science,...
This federal contract award, valued at $763,652, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Woodwell Climate Research Center, a non-profit research organization. The contract aims to measure and understand winter respiration, a critical component of the Arctic carbon cycle that is not well quantified. The objectives are to 1) continuously measure winter respiration at sites across the permafrost region, 2) examine the drivers of winter...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $171,093.00 cooperative agreement to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc., a non-profit organization, to extend an important data record on soil respiration for an additional three years at ten research sites. This work will help NASA better understand the carbon cycle of boreal and Arctic regions in North America and reduce uncertainty around carbon dynamics during the shoulder seasons. The agreement does not have a...
This is a $741,804 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Woodwell Climate Research Center, a non-profit research organization that specializes in climate science and ecosystem modeling. The contract aims to develop a spatially-explicit understanding of the climate forcings from forest fires in the boreal regions of North America. Through field measurements, remote sensing, and earth system modeling, the research will quantify the warming and cooling effects of...
This is a $259,065.62 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Woodwell Climate Research Center, a non-profit research organization, to study the greenhouse gas emissions associated with cattle ranching in Brazil's agricultural frontier. The project aims to address key knowledge gaps, including the lack of spatially consistent data on pasture extent, the potential contributions of small reservoirs to Brazil's carbon budget, and how pasture dynamics interact with reservoir abundance....
This is a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc., a non-profit research organization, for a project titled "Mapping and Modeling Attributes of an Arctic - Boreal Biome Shift: Resource Management Implications." The award is valued at $256,261.07 and runs from August 19, 2015 to January 30, 2017. The project aims to investigate vegetation dynamics and their impacts...
Woodwell Climate Research Center Inc., a non-profit organization, was awarded a $139,672 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on quantifying changes in surface water extent. The research aims to improve understanding of how seasonal fluctuations in water levels over organic-rich soils and sediments, particularly in Arctic-boreal environments, can impact greenhouse gas emissions. This research grant supports NASA's wider efforts to develop...
This federal contract award is a grant for research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Conservation International Foundation, a non-profit organization. The grant, worth $429,582.00, is to develop state-space models that connect satellite time series data across different sensors to a network of forest inventory plots in order to quantify forest carbon dynamics across time and space. The research aims to pioneer this approach to enhance...
