This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to study carbon exchange dynamics in the circum-Arctic boreal forest using observations from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite. The $223,226 grant will fund efforts to measure the seasonality of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) in the boreal forest, investigate inter-annual variability, and validate the high-latitude OCO-2 retrievals through...
This is a $580,649 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to evaluate biomass estimates from the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar instrument. The project aims to leverage detailed ground-based forest data collected by NAU in the Amazon, Congo Basin, Borneo, and the coniferous forests of western North America to improve GEDI's ability to estimate forest biomass, a critical component of the global carbon...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $254,247.34 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on the growth, disturbance, and carbon dynamics of northern hemisphere forests. The research aims to improve understanding of Arctic/boreal terrestrial ecosystems and their potential to release stored carbon. The study will leverage NASA/USGS Landsat satellite imagery and WorldView sub-meter imagery to quantify ecological relationships between stand...
This is a $1,221,249.00 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Idaho, doing business as the University of Idaho. The contract is for a study to integrate light detection and ranging (LiDAR), passive spectral, and tree ecophysiological data to link biophysical structure to ecological function in the forest tundra ecotone (FTE), which is the world's largest ecological transition zone. The objective is to...
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to American University, a private university located in Washington, D.C. The $123,636.00 grant funds research to contribute to collaborative forest inventory efforts in Alaska, improve characterization of the biogeography of interior Alaska, and develop more robust approaches for integrating NASA's G-LiHT hyperspectral and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. The...
This is a $548,426 grant awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The grant supports the expansion and curation of a global field and airborne LIDAR database to calibrate and validate the algorithms for NASA's GEDI (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation) spaceborne LIDAR instrument, as well as other space-based biomass monitoring missions like NASA's NISAR and ICESat-2, and ESA's BIOMASS. The...
This is a $890,482.84 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to conduct research on the impacts of increasing fire severity on the combustion of legacy carbon in forest and tundra ecosystems across the northern regions of North America. The research aims to develop a mechanistic understanding of the ecosystem, landscape, and fire characteristics that control the loss of this long-stored carbon, and to examine the consequences for post-fire permafrost and...
This is a $267,065 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Woodwell Climate Research Center, a non-profit organization, to apply an innovative satellite data-driven model framework to improve understanding of carbon (CO2 and CH4) dynamics and environmental controls on northern ecosystem carbon budgets in Alaska and northwest Canada. The study will leverage a suite of ground-based and remote sensing observations to enhance a Terrestrial Carbon Flux (TCF) model for the...
This is a $406,034.47 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to conduct research on the relationship between satellite measurements of solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) and vegetation reflectance, and their link to gross primary productivity (GPP) in northern boreal forests. The research aims to improve understanding of the ecophysiological mechanisms driving seasonal changes in plant photosynthesis and carbon cycling within these ecosystems....
This is a $133,085 cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northern Arizona University (NAU) to conduct research on the impacts of an Arctic-Boreal biome shift on ecosystem dynamics and resource management. The research will leverage satellite data, airborne sensors, and field measurements to map and model changes in vegetation productivity, tree mortality, and habitat suitability across the boreal forest and tundra regions of Alaska and...
