- This federal contract award to Oregon State University (OSU), a public land-grant research university, supports the development of new metrics for monitoring snow cover trends and impacts in a warming climate. The $460,348.18 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to create a suite of leading and lagging snow indicators to serve as climate change metrics for the National Climate Assessment. The project will leverage remote sensing, in-situ, and climate...
- This federal contract award to Oregon State University (OSU) for $93,449.57 is focused on enhancing the understanding of how forest structure affects snow accumulation and melt. The overarching goal is to improve the ability to estimate snow cover in forested regions using a combination of remote sensing, field measurements, and computer modeling. The project will address three key research questions related to characterizing the relationship between canopy structure and snow processes, using...

The award, valued at $466,796.00, has an ultimate completion date of April 30, 2026. OSU, as the prime contractor, is a public land-grant research university with extensive expertise in areas such as agriculture, forestry, environmental...
- This federal contract award, valued at $139,112.00, was granted to Oregon State University (OSU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to provide scientific expertise and guidance during the development of the LUCE mission, an advanced satellite lidar mission led by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) in partnership with NASA. The work will primarily focus on the oceanographic goals of the mission, but OSU will also assist with the terrestrial elements. This is not a set-aside...
- This federal contract award to Oregon State University (OSU) is for research activities to help integrate static and dynamic carbon monitoring products into a consistent, continental-scale database of land cover, biomass, disturbance, and growth. Key objectives include developing tools to integrate these datasets for use in carbon flux modeling, and creating a smart API to allow modelers and stakeholders easy access to the data. The $1,098,754 award is part of NASA's Carbon Monitoring System...
- This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Colorado State University for a project titled "NASA's Next Generation Cold Land Processes Experiment(s) (NG-CLPX)." The objective is to develop a data-model fusion system that integrates ground-based, airborne, and satellite observations to create value-added snow property products for the snow science community. This work supports NASA's efforts to advance remote sensing tools and...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $395,202.97 grant to the Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado, to participate in the upcoming Next Generation Cold Land Processes Experiment (NG-CLPX) field campaign. The work will focus on developing distributed error products for lidar-derived snow depth data and applying fractal analysis to characterize snow depth variability across scales. This will help inform measurement...
- This federal contract award to Oregon State University (OSU) is part of the NASA Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) program. The $990,606 grant will fund a research project to develop a framework for using Earth observation tools to map forest carbon with spatially explicit uncertainty quantification. The project aims to address challenges in incorporating new Earth observation data sources and extending carbon monitoring over time to support carbon market registration and verification. The award...
- This federal contract award, valued at $500,000.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to Oregon State University (OSU) to continue work on the development of a spaceborne lidar-based shallow bathymetry data product (ATL24). The work builds on a prior 2-year effort led by the Principal Investigator at OSU. The contract is structured as a research grant, with a completion date of December 4, 2026. There is no set-aside designation for this award. OSU is a public...
- This federal contract award, valued at $293,973.68, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian federal agency) to Oregon State University (OSU) to conduct research on plant water use strategies across different climates, topographies, and biomes. The project aims to improve crop and land surface model predictions by quantifying the strategies plants employ to regulate their water use, which is critical for accurately modeling soil moisture dynamics and the productivity of natural...
This contract award to Oregon State University is part of the Next Generation CLPX Science Definition Team proposal from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to improve remote sensing of snow in forested regions. The contract, valued at $209,248.53, focuses on evaluating how forest structure and litter impact snow properties and how remote sensing technologies and snow models can be used to better characterize snow in forested areas. Key objectives include deriving forest metrics from lidar, correlating these with Landsat data, refining snow model parameterizations, and collaborating with the CLPX team to inform remote sensing algorithms. The contract has no set-aside designation. As a public research university with expertise in fields like forestry, agriculture, and climate science, Oregon State University is well-positioned to support this NASA-funded research effort aimed at enhancing snow remote sensing capabilities.
