The contract, valued at $149,995.42, will utilize the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) land surface model along with NASA satellite data and in-situ observations to support water...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $120,000.00 research grant to the University of South Carolina (USC) for the project titled "Identification of Disadvantaged and Low Capacity Communities Subject to Wildfire Risks" (Solicitation ID: 22-SMDSS22-0029). This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The work will be performed in Columbia, South Carolina and is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2024. As a large public research university,...
- This is a $148,552.82 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Rector & Visitors of the University of Virginia, doing business as the University of Virginia. The grant is for research related to the simulation of the current hydrological cycle using land use and land cover data from 2000-2019, assessment of changes in land use and land cover and their impact on the hydrological cycle from 2020-2050 using the Soil and Water...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $353,970 grant to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) to support research and development activities related to the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission. The tasks to be completed under this grant include implementing and testing a data assimilation framework, producing and evaluating SWOT Level 4 data products, testing the use of derived runoff products for hydrologic model calibration, and assessing...
- This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted to the University of Massachusetts (UMass) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the "REVEALING THE HYDROSPHERE: MAPPING WIDTHS AND HEIGHTS OF NARROW RIVERS WITH SWOT" project. The contract is a grant for research and does not have a set-aside designation. UMass, as the prime contractor, will utilize its expertise in areas such as engineering, computer science, and environmental studies to conduct...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $450,402.59 grant to the University of Southern California (USC) to retrieve soil moisture profiles from CYGNSS satellite data. The project will develop bistatic radar scattering models to estimate soil moisture, including for bare and vegetated landscapes, as well as permafrost regions. USC will accumulate CYGNSS observations over 24-hour periods to improve the inverse problem and deliver daily soil moisture products with...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AH84G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University, Office of Research and Project Administration, to develop algorithms and modeling systems to retrieve river discharge estimates globally from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission. The overarching goal is to create a forecast assimilation system that utilizes the Catchment-based Macro-Scale Floodplain (CAMA) Flood River...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000 training grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The contract supports a research study to assess the performance of different data assimilation approaches for inferring river discharge from surface water elevation measurements collected by the upcoming NASA/CNES Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission, which is scheduled to...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of South Carolina (USC) is for a research project focused on water management decisions in the Lower Mekong River Basin. The $97,690.45 grant will utilize the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) land surface model along with NASA satellite data and in-situ observations to support decision-making in the region. Key aspects include using NASA precipitation, vegetation, soil moisture, and evapotranspiration data as SWAT inputs and validation. The project will also provide NASA data products to the Mekong SERVIR Hub and conduct training on SWAT and satellite data use for regional scientists. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting USC's status as a large public research university. The work will be performed in Columbia, South Carolina and is scheduled for completion by January 1, 2019.
