The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $1,111,327.94 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan to study the mechanisms by which climate variability affects terrestrial carbon fluxes. The 4-year research project aims to leverage climate-carbon feedbacks evident in the atmospheric CO2 growth rate to better understand how large-scale climate oscillations influence regional climate and terrestrial carbon fluxes. The research will use a combination of climate models, satellite observations, and data analysis to address key questions around the climate sensitivity of the terrestrial biosphere. The grant does not specify a set-aside designation. The University of Michigan, a top public research institution, is the prime contractor on this effort and has a history of receiving federal research grants from agencies like the Department of Defense and Department of Energy to support a range of R&D initiatives.
