- This $189,177.73 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park supports the development of a prototype system for monitoring, reporting, and verifying (MRV) regional-scale carbon stocks and fluxes under the Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) program. The grant aims to expand the current scope of validation methods for CMS products by acquiring and analyzing airborne eddy covariance carbon flux observations over the Maryland...
- This federal contract award is a $449,157 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research on the potential for croplands to stabilize atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and mitigate climate change. The grant is part of a larger effort to understand the global carbon cycle, as highlighted in a recent "State of the Carbon Cycle Report" (SOCCR2). The award has a completion date of April 26, 2025 and...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to continue developing a framework for estimating high-resolution forest carbon stocks and dynamics using remote sensing and ecosystem modeling. The $1,229,573.24 grant aims to expand upon previous prototypes at the county/state-scale to cover the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) domain and ultimately the contiguous United States. Key objectives include...
- This $1,040,595 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park will fund the development and testing of an Aquatic Ecosystem Carbon Monitoring System. The goal of the project is to integrate NASA remote sensing data, in situ measurements, and process-based modeling to monitor major organic carbon fluxes and stocks of inland waters through November 2024. The University of Maryland will serve as the prime...
- This is a $1,720,555.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to continue developing and expanding their approach to high-resolution forest carbon monitoring and modeling. The award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Maryland, College Park, is a subcomponent of the larger University System of Maryland, which has received numerous federal contract and grant awards, including from the Department...
- This is a $95,461.28 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to support the NASA Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) Applications Program. The objective is to enhance linkages between CMS research and the carbon policy community, conducting applications research and facilitating engagement between CMS scientists and stakeholders who require innovative data products for decision-making. The grant aims to translate...
- This is a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The $599,923.77 grant funds a project to quantify the processes controlling the temporal variability of biosphere-atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) flux on seasonal and interannual timescales from 1989 to 2018. The research aims to improve predictions from Earth system models by combining remote sensing observations, mechanistic models, and NASA's Goddard...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park. The award is intended to provide in-season information about crop conditions and production prospects in major grain export countries like the United States and Russia, using earth observation data and machine learning analysis. This will help stabilize agricultural markets impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has limited government access to collect...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $616,741 research grant to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) to develop new crop mapping and yield estimation products using data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) Sentinel satellite systems. The grant aims to prototype a generalized approach for monitoring major crops like wheat, corn, and soybeans across large agricultural regions globally. It will leverage multi-temporal optical and microwave satellite data,...
- This is a $150,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research on the climate change impact on major crop production. The research aims to determine that agriculture productivity changes will be noticeable much earlier than previously anticipated. UMD, a prominent U.S. state government entity and 1862 land grant college, has extensive capabilities in conducting sophisticated research and technical...
This is a $1,250,573.91 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop a Cropland Carbon Monitoring System (CCMS) prototype. The CCMS will use satellite remote sensing data and the EPIC agroecosystem model to estimate seasonal and annual carbon cycle components, including net primary production, net ecosystem productivity, and net ecosystem carbon balance, for major U.S. crops across the conterminous United States. The grant aims to improve understanding of the carbon sequestration potential of croplands and support the development of policies and strategies for sustainable carbon management. There is no set-aside designation for this award. The University of Maryland, College Park is the prime recipient, and this grant is part of NASA's broader global agricultural monitoring program, which is jointly funded with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
