The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) has been awarded a $600,000 Project Grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to develop the OpenForest4D web-based cyberinfrastructure platform. This platform will enable researchers to generate comprehensive, up-to-date forest structure and biomass estimates across large geographic regions and time periods by fusing multi-source remote sensing data. The key products to be delivered include interactive web-based tools and educational resources to facilitate transformative research in forest ecology and encourage broad community participation. This award reflects NSF's focus on advancing scientific knowledge, addressing critical environmental challenges, and developing a diverse STEM workforce.
