This grant is for a research project aimed at improving our understanding of dryland ecosystems in the southwestern U.S. using new remote sensing technologies. The project will focus on using these technologies, along with artificial intelligence and machine learning, to better manage and assess these ecosystems, which cover nearly 40% of the U.S. The goal is to develop innovative tools for mapping and managing biological soil crusts and other dryland features, which can help resource managers, ranchers, and others who rely on these lands.
Who it's for: This grant is open to any organization or individual interested in conducting research on dryland ecosystems using remote sensing technologies. This includes universities, research institutions, and potentially private companies with expertise in remote sensing, ecology, or related fields.
