THE EARTH SCIENCES DIVISION OF THE NASA/GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER AND THE COLLEGE OF COMPUTER MATHEMATICAL AND NATURAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND AT COLLEGE PARK SHARE COMMON RESEARCH GOALS IN THE AREAS OF METEOROLOGY OCEANOGRAPHY TERRESTRIAL PHYSICS CLIMATERESEARCH CHEMISTRY OF THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE AND SATELLITE RESEARCH. A COMPREHENSIVE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT ESTABLISHED THE EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE INTERDISCIPLINARY CENTER (ESSIC) IN 1999. ESSIC IS INTENDED TO SERVE AS A MEANS TO INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESEARCH ANDTEACHING THROUGH CLOSE COLLABORATION BY BOTH PARTIES AND SERVE AS A MEANS TO TRAIN PERSONNEL FOR RESEARCH IN EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE. ALL APPOINTEES TO ESSIC SHALL PARTICIPATE IN THE EDUCATIONAL MISSION OF THE UNIVERSITY BY ADVISING GRADUATE STUDENTS IN ADDITION TO CONDUCTING COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO REQUEST A CONTINUATION OF THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT ENABLING THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND TO CARRY OUT A COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM WITH GODDARD EARTH SCIENCES WITH THE GOAL OF FURTHERING ITS MISSION: THE EARTH SCIENCES DIVISION ATNASA GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER PLANS ORGANIZES EVALUATES AND IMPLEMENTS A BROAD PROGRAM OF RESEARCH ON OUR PLANET'S NATURAL SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES. MAJOR FOCUS AREAS INCLUDE CLIMATE CHANGE SEVERE WEATHER THE ATMOSPHERE THE OCEANS SEA ICE AND GLACIERS AND THE LANDSURFACE. GSFC HAS FOR OVER 50 YEARS BEEN A LEADER IN EARTH SCIENCE RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT. ESSIC SEEKS TO BUILD EVEN STRONGER PARTNERSHIPS WITH GODDARD IN THE AREAS OF METEOROLOGY OCEANOGRAPHY TERRESTRIAL PHYSICS CLIMATE RESEARCH CHEMISTRY OF THE EARTH'SATMOSPHERE AND SATELLITE RESEARCH. WE ENVISION THIS LATEST COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT AS A MEANS TO INCREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF RESEARCH AND TEACHING THROUGH CLOSE COLLABORATION BY BOTH PARTIES AND SERVE AS A MEANS TO TRAIN PERSONNEL FOR RESEARCH CAREERS IN EARTH SYSTEM SCIENCE. THIS PROPOSAL SUMMARIZES CURRENT RESEARCH THEMES THAT CAN BE CARRIED OUT JOINTLY BY NASA/GSFC AND ESSIC RESEARCHERS OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS AS WELL AS PROSPECTIVE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES LAYING A VISION INTO WHAT CAN ACCOMPLISHED IN SCIENCE THROUGH THIS COOPERATIVEAGREEMENT. AT THE DISCRETION OF NASA/GSFC RESEARCHERS AT ESSIC CAN ENGAGE IN A LARGER PORTFOLIO OF AREAS OF INTEREST TO GODDARD E.G. BIOSPHERIC SCIENCES OCEAN ECOLOGY TERRESTRIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS. UMD IS OFFICIALLY CLASSIFIED BY NASA AS A AANAPISI (ASIAN AMERICAN NATIVE AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER SERVING INSTITUTION); THE UNIVERSITY ALSO HOUSES>12% OF AFRICAN AMERICAN AND>10 %HISPANIC STUDENTS PROVIDING A VERY RICH POOL OF UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS IN STEM TO THIS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT. WE PROPOSE TO BOOST THE PARTICIPATION OF THESE STUDENTS IN RESEARCH THROUGH INTEGRATED RESEARCH EDUCATION AND INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCES THAT CAN BE OF BENEFIT TO NASA/GSFC AND TO THEIR FUTURE CAREERS IN STEM FIELDS.$55,165,126

THIS PROPOSED FOOD SECURITY AND AGRICULTURE CONSORTIUM (FSAC) WILL ADDRESS VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE APPLICATION OF EARTH OBSERVATIONS (EO) TO DOMESTIC AND GLOBAL AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY THROUGH AN UNPRECEDENTED GROUP OF RESEARCH AND OPERATIONAL PARTNERS. WE HAVE ASSEMBLED A CONSORTIUM OF PRINCIPALS DRAWN FROM LEADING ORGANIZATIONS IN THE U.S. AND AROUND THE WORLD THAT USE EO AND DERIVED INFORMATION TO ADVANCE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY. THE PROPOSED FSAC ANCHORS A BROAD NETWORK OF PARTNERS DRAWN FROM UNIVERSITIES GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS NGOS INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR REPRESENTING END USERS INFORMATION AND SERVICE PROVIDERS AND APPLICATIONS RESEARCHERS. FSAC PARTNERS LEAD THE WORLD IN ENGAGING END USERS IN USING EO-DERIVED INFORMATION FOR AGRICULTURE. THE FSAC EXPANDS ON EXISTING AND PAST NASA INVESTMENTS AND IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO AMPLIFY THE BENEFITS BROADLY THROUGH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS IN THE US AND INTERNATIONALLY. LEVERAGING OUR CURRENT AND PAST WORK TO BUILD THE GEO G20 GLOBAL AGRICULTURAL MONITORING (GEOGLAM) INITIATIVE THE CURRENT PROPOSAL IS ESSENTIAL TO THE CONTINUED IMPLEMENTATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF GEOGLAM WHICH HAS ACHIEVED UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS IN ENGAGING END-USERS INVOLVED WITH CROP PRODUCTION MONITORING AND FORECASTING. THROUGH THIS PROPOSAL THE CROP MONITORS LED BY UMD WILL CONTINUE TO DELIVER EO-DERIVED INFORMATION TO THE AGRICULTURAL MARKET INFORMATION SYSTEM (AMIS) AN INTERNATIONAL BODY OF CHIEF ECONOMISTS FROM MAJOR CROP EXPORT COUNTRIES AND PROVIDE A MONTHLY BULLETIN OF CROP CONDITIONS FOR FOOD INSECURE COUNTRIES WITH AN EXPANDING GROUP OF INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY ORGANIZATIONS. THE FSAC END USER ENGAGEMENT WILL BE BROAD - ADDRESSING NOT ONLY INTERNATIONAL CROP PRODUCTION FORECASTS MARKETS AND TRADE ALONGSIDE REGIONAL/NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY EARLY WARNING DISASTER RESPONSE AND POLICY - BUT ALSO DOMESTIC COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURE AND FARM MANAGEMENT AND SMALLHOLDER FARM MANAGEMENT RESILIENCE AND MICRO-INSURANCE. IT WILL INCLUDE STRATEGIC SYSTEMATIZED ENGAGEMENT OF NON-TRADITIONAL USERS OF NASA DATA (INSURANCE INDUSTRY HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS AND INTELLIGENCE). THE FSAC MEMBERS WERE SELECTED STRATEGICALLY FOR THEIR EXPERTISE AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH A BROAD RANGE OF USER-GROUPS. OUR APPLICATIONS R&D WILL FOCUS ON CROP CONDITION MONITORING AND RISK ASSESSMENT CROPLAND CROP TYPE AND AREA MAPPING CROP YIELD AND PRODUCTION MODELING AND FORECASTING AND LINKING EO PRODUCTS TO SOCIO-ECONOMIC DATA TO ADDRESS FOOD SECURITY QUESTIONS. THE RESULTING SUITE OF INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WILL COMBINE EO PRODUCTS FROM DIFFERENT SENSORS WITH METEOROLOGICAL GROUND AND SURVEY DATA. OTHER MAJOR WORK ELEMENTS WILL INCLUDE: THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL VALUATION OF THE BENEFITS OF EO THROUGH ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF EO FOR PRODUCTION FORECASTING AND REPRESENTATIVE END USER CASE STUDIES; LINKAGE TO NEW NASA SENSORS ENHANCING THE EARLY ADOPTERS PROGRAM; DEVELOPMENT OF AN FSAC PORTAL FOR INFORMATION COLLECTION DISSEMINATION AND INNOVATIVE COMBINATION; AND A PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS INITIATIVE GIVING BROAD OUTREACH FOR THE PROGRAM. THE DOMESTIC AGRICULTURE COMPONENT OF THE PROPOSAL WILL TEST NEW EO-BASED APPLICATIONS TO IMPROVE FARM MANAGEMENT AND HELP USDA NASS IMPROVE THE RELIABILITY OF ITS US STATISTICS (AREA/YIELD). FSAC WILL HOLD A SERIES OF THEMATIC COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS IN THE US ESTABLISHING A US GEOGLAM COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE (COP) TO COMPLEMENT THE INTERNATIONAL COP. THESE ACTIVITIES TOGETHER WILL DELIVER NASA AN OUTSTANDING COORDINATED AND WELL-BALANCED PROGRAM APPLYING EO TO FOOD SECURITY AND AGRICULTURE WITH STRONG CONNECTIONS TO RELEVANT NASA PROGRAMS SCIENCE TEAMS AND NEW MISSIONS. A GOAL OF THE FSAC IN ADDITION TO RESPONDING TO THE RFP IS TO EXPAND ITS ACTIVITIES PARTNERSHIPS AND COLLABORATIONS WITH NON-NASA FUNDING SUSTAINING THE CONSORTIUM AND ITS FUNCTIONS BEYOND THE 5-YEAR FUNDING PERIOD.$15,999,107
