This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Boise State University, a public research university in Boise, Idaho. The $134,958 training grant supports research to quantify uncertainties in estimating leaf area index (LAI) and biomass in semi-arid ecosystems using full-waveform lidar data from airborne and future satellite platforms like the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar. The research aims to...
This federal contract award, with identification number NNX15AD56G, was granted by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to Boise State University, a public research university in Boise, Idaho. The purpose of the contract is to advance the fundamental understanding of how the evolution of seasonal snowpacks impacts remote sensing of snow water equivalent (SWE) at different wavelengths, focusing on the use of multiple-frequency microwave radar. The work will leverage expertise in land...
This is a $419,795 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Boise State University for the coordination of high-resolution airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data acquisition over SnowEx 2020-21 time series sites. The grant covers both snow-on flights in February 2021 and snow-free flights in September 2021.
