- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $450,402.59 grant to the University of Southern California (USC) to retrieve soil moisture profiles from CYGNSS satellite data. The project will develop bistatic radar scattering models to estimate soil moisture, including for bare and vegetated landscapes, as well as permafrost regions. USC will accumulate CYGNSS observations over 24-hour periods to improve the inverse problem and deliver daily soil moisture products with...
- This federal contract award, valued at $200,041.87, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Southern California (USC) to perform laboratory dielectric characterization of planetary analog materials. The goal is to understand the distribution of volatiles and potential presence of organics in icy and small bodies. The work will be conducted at USC's facility in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering, part of the Viterbi School of...
- This federal contract award, NNX17AC65A, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Southern California (USC) to advance methods for retrieving belowground biomass and permafrost active layer properties using radar and lidar measurements. The $748,477 cooperative agreement aims to develop accurate radar scattering and inverse scattering models to simultaneously retrieve root biomass, permafrost active layer thickness, and soil moisture...
- This is a training grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division. The $135,000.00 contract is for the development of a low-cost, platform-independent software defined radar (SDRADAR) smart sensor payload that can act as a node in a non-centralized, task-oriented wireless network. The system is intended to be validated through measurement and imaging...
- This is a $374,956.57 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division, doing business as USC. The grant is for research on Distributed Space Missions (DSMS), which can increase measurement samples over multiple, spatio-temporal vantage points. The research aims to enable smaller spacecraft to carry advanced imaging and radar payloads despite power and data downlink constraints....
- 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....
- The University of Southern California will develop an integrative framework to enhance the resolution of coarse-resolution passive microwave observations under a $318,759 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. To be performed at the prime contractor's location in Dockweiler, California, the work supports NASA's earth science programs by addressing the disaggregation of coarse-resolution satellite imagery. The completion date is...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 grant to the University of Southern California (USC) for research on remote sensing of spatial and temporal extent of the water table and intervening soil moisture profiles. The objective is to develop a wireless network of small in-situ and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)-based ground-penetrating radar (GPR) automated sensing nodes to map the altitude of the groundwater table and its spatiotemporal variability,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $816,026.00 grant for research to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for an overseas contract with a completion date of December 2, 2021. USC is a private university that conducts research across various disciplines, including areas such as cancer, aging, genetics, and critical mineral assessments using artificial...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $659,964.78 grant to the University of Colorado, a public research university, to partner with the SERVIR - Eastern and Southern Africa Hub for a project that will link in-situ data collection tools measuring local rainfall, temperature, groundwater use, and land properties with remote sensing data sets. The goal is to develop machine learning-supported interpolated data products for localized rainfall, temperature,...
