NASA awarded the President and Fellows of Harvard College $690,000 on December 9, 2025, under the Science Mission Directorate's Science program (CFDA 43.001) to deliver remote sensing datasets at regional scale that directly constrain greenhouse gas emissions for key source regions in Washington DC/Baltimore and the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and adjacent Appalachian regions using MethaneAIR and HALO. The award is structured as a Project Grant with a period of performance extending through December 8, 2027. Work is performed in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Harvard's Office For Sponsored Programs Division is the recipient organization. The Science Mission Directorate pursues NASA's strategic objective to expand human knowledge through new scientific discoveries, competitively soliciting research proposals across multiple domains including Earth Science Research and Applied Sciences, which addresses the Earth system to understand natural and human-induced processes.
