Amendment 48: A.5 Carbon Cycle Science Final Text and Due Dates.

A.5 Carbon Cycle Science (CCS) solicits proposals for research focused on the improved understanding of carbon stocks and fluxes between and within ecosystems, and their exchange with the atmosphere. It also targets improved understanding of carbon cycle processes and feedbacks in critical ecosystems, as highlighted by the research topics below:

  1. Carbon Fluxes within the ocean
  2. Carbon Cycle of Critical Ecosystems
  3. Vulnerability of Dryland Ecosystems
  4. Vulnerability of Tropical Forests
  5. Carbon Fluxes between Terrestrial Ecosystems and the Atmosphere

Substantive use of remote sensing and/or airborne data is required in all studies.

ROSES-2024 Amendment 48 releases final text and due dates for A.5 CCS. NOIs are requested by October 17, 2024, and proposals are due February 3, 2025. Proposals submitted to this program will be evaluated using a dual-anonymous review process. See Section 5 and in the associated "Guidelines for Anonymous Proposals" document under "Other Documents" on the NSPIRES page for this program element.

On or about September 16, 2024, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2024" (NNH24ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2024

Questions concerning A.5 CCS may be directed to Laura Lorenzoni at Laura.Lorenzoni@nasa.gov and/or Ryan Pavlick at ryan.p.pavlick@nasa.gov.

NASA-DOD Study: Saltwater to Widely Taint Coastal Groundwater by 2100

Intrusion of saltwater into coastal groundwater can make water there unusable, damage ecosystems, and corrode infrastructure. Seawater will infiltrate underground freshwater supplies in about three of every four coastal areas around the world by the year 2100, according to a recent study led by researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. In addition […]

NASA’s PACE, US-European SWOT Satellites Offer Combined Look at Ocean

One Earth satellite can see plankton that photosynthesize. The other measures water surface height. Together, their data reveals how sea life and the ocean are intertwined. The ocean is an engine that drives Earth’s weather patterns and climate and sustains a substantial portion of life on the planet. A new animation based on data from […]

NASA’s C-20A Studies Extreme Weather Events

On a changing planet, where phenomena like severe hurricanes, landslides, and wildfires are becoming more severe, scientists need data to assess and model disaster impacts and to potentially make predictions about hazards. NASA’s C-20A aircraft is a significant asset that can carry key instruments for understanding the science behind these phenomena.  Based at NASA’s Armstrong […]
