This is a $111,168.73 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) on September 1, 2018. The contract, known as the OPTIMEEM project, aims to apply machine learning algorithms to identify and characterize methane plume shapes and flux rates from NASA's airborne remote sensing data, such as the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS-NG) and Hyperspectral Thermal Emission Spectrometer (HyTES). The goal is to enable the quantification of methane point sources from remote sensing data alone, without the need for ground-based measurements. The project will first test the approaches on simulated data before applying them to real NASA airborne campaign data. This work is expected to be a crucial step towards automating the identification and quantification of local methane sources from high-resolution airborne and future space-borne remote sensing missions. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion on January 26, 2023.
