The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Idaho $232,789 on January 1, 2027, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to support radar remote sensing research and workforce development focused on forest monitoring in the Western United States. The research fellowship funds an associate professor at the University of Idaho to advance sub-seasonal tree growth monitoring through integration of radar-based vegetation moisture measures with optical indicators of tree growth. The work combines remote sensing, ecophysiology, and environmental data science to test whether radar remote sensing can improve national capacity to monitor forest vigor as Western forests decline. Collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California will inform the research approach. The project builds Idaho's radar expertise in preparation for opportunities created by a new national satellite radar system relevant to forestry, agriculture, and wildfire risk reduction. Deliverables include a new radar remote sensing curriculum module at the University of Idaho, annual field-day engagement for stakeholder education, and collaboration with forest-sector partners to promote early adoption of radar-enhanced monitoring capabilities. Place of performance is Moscow, Idaho. The award period runs through December 31, 2028.
