- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Montana for a research project focused on modeling the likelihood of recruitment failure in semi-arid forests of the western United States. The $688,998.06 grant will support the integration of earth observation data, in-situ data, and a coupled ecohydrologic/plant hydraulics model to simulate indicators of seedling mortality, such as loss of hydraulic...
- This is a $120,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington (UW) to improve snow water equivalent (SWE) modeling in forested regions using remote sensing data. The contract is focused on deriving forest metrics from Landsat imagery and assimilating canopy snow presence/absence from the MODIS FSCA product into hydrologic models to better represent forest-snow interactions. This will help increase...
- This is a $170,233 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Washington State University (WSU) for research on tree mortality caused by insects in western North America. The grant, which has a period of performance through May 27, 2024, will support WSU's work to monitor the spatial and temporal impacts of this issue on forest ecosystems, including effects on carbon and water cycling, wildfire, and recreation. WSU is a public land-grant research university with...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to develop a global database of tree and water cover using multi-source satellite imagery. The $749,960 grant will refine existing Landsat-based maps of tree and water cover for 2000, 2005, and 2010, and then estimate annual tree and water cover from 2010 to 2015 across North and South America. The research will be partnered with the European Space Agency's...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington to conduct research on natural regulators of wildfire characteristics. The potential value of the grant is $135,000.00, and the period of performance runs from September 25, 2019 through December 31, 2024. The award does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Washington is a leading research university that has received numerous prime and...
- 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...
- 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 $749,605.91 cooperative agreement was awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Maine Space Grant Consortium, a non-profit organization, to research and develop geospatial data products to monitor forest health in the Northeastern United States. The project aims to leverage NASA's remote sensing technologies, including the Landsat satellite and the G-LIHT hyperspectral-lidar-thermal system, to provide more detailed and accurate data on forest tree species identification and...
- This is a $134,649.18 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to the University of Washington on September 1, 2018, with a completion date of August 31, 2021. The grant funds research to investigate the extent, resolution, and accuracy of remotely-sensed snow depth observations in complex topography, as precipitation measurements in mountainous regions are challenging. The research will evaluate the ability of simulated snow depth...
- This is a $232,262.92 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Washington to improve high-resolution mapping of snow cover in complex forested terrain using Planet Labs satellite imagery. The University of Washington will couple ground and airborne snow observations with Planet imagery in mountain systems in Washington, California, and Colorado. This work aims to enhance understanding of climate change impacts on...
