This is a $742,892.62 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to support research on understanding how marine ecosystems are changing in response to climate change. The project aims to use satellite imagery, in-situ data, and numerical modeling to characterize the three-dimensional structure and biodiversity of ocean ecosystems, and develop metrics to assess their vulnerability. This research is directly tied to...
This is a $765,282.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University to investigate the global cloud feedback dependence on Southern Ocean salinity. The award has an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2026 and does not have a set-aside designation. Princeton University, through its Office of Research and Project Administration, will perform the research work as the prime contractor. The grant aligns with NASA's scientific...
This is a $260,658.25 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on quantifying the ocean's biological carbon pump using a combination of satellite and in-situ oceanographic observations. The work aims to develop models that will improve how NASA uses its resources to monitor and quantify the ocean's carbon cycle. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded...
This is a $990,863.28 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to study the impacts of climate change and human activities on carbon cycling in the Biscayne Bay and Tampa Bay estuaries. The primary objectives are to: (1) synthesize historical water quality data, (2) measure key carbon fluxes and stocks, (3) develop remote sensing algorithms for primary production and dissolved organic carbon, (4) create...
This federal contract award to Princeton University, with a ceiling value of $907,170.04, is for research related to determining the relationship between primary production and net community production in the Southern Ocean. The award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and is part of the agency's Carbon Cycle Science program, which focuses on improving the understanding of the global carbon cycle. The research aims to reconcile discrepancies between...
This is a $430,735 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) 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 integrating remote sensing observations, mechanistic models, and NASA's Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5)...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, with a ceiling value of $566,924.08. The award is for a research project investigating physical, biological, and geochemical processes that control the transfer of carbon from the ocean surface to the deep ocean via the biological pump. The project will use a coupled physical-biogeochemical model and existing...
This is a $568,011.92 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center on July 19, 2018. The grant supports research on interannual variability in the global carbon cycle, using data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) and the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT). The research aims to estimate multiple years of global terrestrial and marine CO2 fluxes, diagnose and quantify the effects of...
This is a $177,770.54 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Atmospheric & Environmental Research Inc., a for-profit corporation that provides weather and climate research services to the government. The grant supports the validation and application of data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite in the northeastern United States. The key objectives are to: 1) assess OCO-2's ability to accurately measure regional-scale...
