- This federal contract award, valued at $120,000.00, was issued by the Shared Services Center (an agency of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to further elucidate the linkage between in situ optical signatures and phytoplankton community structure, as well as develop a relationship between these optical signatures and the non-photosynthetic microbial community. The research aims to advance the use of ocean color remote sensing...
- This federal contract award, identified as NNX15AN87H, was granted by NASA to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop and validate a novel algorithm that merges particle size distribution (PSD) information from both particle backscattering and absorption spectra. The project aims to improve upon current studies by providing a better understanding of the bio-optical complexity of the ocean, which is critical for characterizing global particle size distribution and...
- This federal contract award, valued at $1,007,689.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for the development and validation of spectral derivative algorithms to quantify concentrations of phytoplankton biomarker pigments. The goal is to support the upcoming Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission, which will provide high-resolution ocean color observations. The...
- This federal contract award, valued at $150,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct satellite-based mapping of freshwater resilience and conservation potential on 270 remote Pacific islands. The contract is a grant for research, without any set-aside designation, and has an ultimate completion date of October 3, 2026. UCSB, a public research university with expertise in areas such as...
- This federal contract award, valued at $965,051.00, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on the validation of ocean color instrument (OCI) water-leaving reflectance data products. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, is a grant for research with a final completion date of December 6, 2027. UCSB has extensive expertise in areas such as...
- This is a $106,953.51 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on September 1, 2018. The contract is focused on using data from airborne imaging spectrometers to quantify the impact of the 2012-2016 California drought on vegetation across urban landscapes. The goal is to assess the capabilities of these imaging spectrometers to track changes in vegetation health and condition over time in urban areas....
- This is a $260,658.25 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on quantifying the ocean's biological carbon pump using a combination of satellite and in-situ oceanographic observations. The work aims to develop models that will improve how NASA uses its resources to monitor and quantify the ocean's carbon cycle. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it was awarded...
- This federal contract award was granted by NASA to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct a pilot study for the EXPORTS field campaign. The goal of EXPORTS is to gain a predictive understanding of the export and fate of global ocean net primary production. Under this $762,291 grant, UCSB will collect and collate available global ocean ecosystem and carbon cycling field observations, construct EXPORTS data products and diagrams, and evaluate the use of the mined data for...
- This is a $547,183.47 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) for a research project titled "Sinking Particulate Organic Matter is a Major Route of Carbon Export from the Sunlit Surface Ocean to the Ocean's Interior." The project aims to develop a mechanistic link between microbial attenuation of sinking particle flux and surface ocean properties, with the goal of creating a predictive understanding of...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC18K0736, was provided to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue a long-term data collection effort supporting the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) ocean color algorithms. The $881,044.79 grant will fund the collection of high-quality in-situ optical data, including remote sensing reflectance spectra, chlorophyll-a concentration, and inherent...
This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) on September 1, 2018. The $135,000.00 training grant seeks to improve estimates of oceanic net primary production (NPP) by assimilating global-scale in-situ oceanographic tracer data with satellite-based observations. The proposed work aims to produce biogeochemically-consistent NPP estimates that can support NASA Earth science missions such as MODIS-Aqua, Suomi VIIRS, and the upcoming PACE mission, as well as the Export Processes in the Ocean from Remote Sensing (EXPORTS) project. This effort aligns with NASA's strategic objective to advance knowledge of Earth as a system and improve life on the planet by detecting and predicting changes in the global carbon cycle and ecosystems. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
