This announcement offers opportunities for Carbon Cycle Science investigations within the NASA Earth Science Division Research and Analysis Program. NASA seeks proposals that make significant use of remote sensing data to improve understanding of changes in the distribution and cycling of carbon among the active land, ocean, coastal, and atmospheric reservoirs, and how that understanding can be used to establish a scientific foundation for societal responses to environmental change.
The overall goals for NASA's Earth Science program are documented in the NASA Science Mission Directorate 2020-2024 Science Plan and the recently released Earth Science to Action Strategy. NASA Earth Science research focuses on using spacebased observations to safeguard and improve life on Earth, often supplemented with other types of observations (e.g., aircraft and/or surface-based measurements) and then combined and synthesized in models. Carbon Cycle Science research is supported by many research and applied science programs at NASA, including, but not limited to, NASA’s Carbon Cycle and Ecosystem (CCE) Focus Area and the individual research and analysis programs that support it; significant investments are also made by many of the CCE-related satellite programs, which have separate competed science teams for data exploitation.
Application Deadline: Proposals due by February 3, 2025
