This $349,932 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.079) supports a collaborative research initiative between the U.S. and Switzerland. The primary objectives are to: (1) Develop a reliable scientific measurement platform using small uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) to collect high-resolution atmospheric data on pollution, thermodynamics, and wind properties, and (2)...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) Project Grant award of $712,258 supports the acquisition of an integrated LiDAR and hyperspectral sensing system for the KnightSight project at the University of Central Florida (UCF). The sensing system, consisting of co-aligned LiDAR and hyperspectral imaging sensors, a fluorescence spectrometer, and autonomous laser scanning units, will be mounted on drones, robots, and ground vehicles to capture visible and invisible...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $701,417 Cooperative Agreement to Stony Brook University under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program. The funding will support the inclusion of the Multi-function Airborne Raman Lidar (MARLI) and Airborne Doppler Lidar (ADL) systems into the NSF's Community Instruments and Facilities (CIF) program. These advanced lidar systems can provide simultaneous measurements of water vapor, temperature, wind, aerosols, and clouds in the planetary boundary...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will enable Boise State University to acquire a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) to support student engagement and research on critical zone processes. The TLS is a portable device that captures detailed 3D images of the ground, vegetation, and other landscape features, empowering students to address pressing environmental issues such as carbon storage and water resource impacts of climate change....
The University of Oklahoma will provide research services under a $217,144 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the awardee will use new phased array radar technology to study storm electrification and lightning initiation through dual-polarization observations of thunderstorms. High-resolution temporal and spatial data will characterize cloud structures influencing lightning development and explore interactions between lightning...
This $473,439 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) will support the development of a new Geospace and Middle Atmosphere Lidar (GEOMAL) system at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). The GEOMAL lidar will be installed at the Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska to conduct interdisciplinary research on the polar geospace and middle atmosphere. Key research objectives include studying atmospheric waves, dynamic coupling...
