- 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 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...
- This $106,465.61 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research on the impacts of sea level rise, saltwater intrusion, and other climate change effects on coastal wetland ecosystems. The research aims to develop remote sensing modeling techniques to assess the vulnerability of peat collapse and changes in blue carbon sequestration. UMD will leverage existing field observations in the Florida...
- 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....
- This is a $280,415.69 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to George Mason University for research to improve estimates of hyperresolution root zone soil moisture. The research aims to develop a high-resolution hydrological modeling system to better characterize soil moisture and its impact on local weather, climate, and water resources management. The project will leverage data from NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite, as well as...
- This is a $840,079.86 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park for a study titled "Towards Near Daily Monitoring of Inundated Areas over North America through Multi-Source Fusion of Optical and SAR Data." The goal is to develop automated algorithms to monitor terrestrial inundation using Landsat-8, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 satellite data. The algorithms will be calibrated and tested across different biomes...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) is for the development of an integrated modeling platform using earth observations to simulate large-scale hydrological processes and food production. The $1,334,080.70 grant will support the creation of a decision tool to provide assessments of crop growth, agricultural water use, and available water supply, with the capability to forecast the impact of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $210,300.80 grant to the University of Montana to investigate the response of seasonal phenology, carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, and atmospheric CO2 to spring warming, soil thaw, and liquid water availability in North America. The research project, which does not have a set-aside designation, will leverage multi-scale carbon and water cycle observations, as well as land and atmosphere models, to elucidate the impacts of...
- 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 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...
This is a $894,008.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop an enhanced version of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The goal is to better represent carbon cycling across interconnected terrestrial, wetland, and aquatic ecosystems at the watershed scale. The work will integrate field measurements, remote sensing data, and process-based modeling to quantify the effects of human activities and climate change on carbon flows. The open-source SWAT-CALW model developed under this grant will be shared publicly, enabling broader use of NASA Earth observation data to support understanding of carbon cycle dynamics. This research aligns with NASA's objectives to quantify and predict changes in Earth's ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles, as well as the U.S. Department of Agriculture's priorities for advancing climate mitigation science for agricultural and natural resource systems.
