Amendment 50: A.48 Wildland Fires Not Solicited This Year

The Wildland Fire Management Program supports the use of Earth observations to enable a strategic pivot from the suppression mindset to a proactive mindset. This area emphasizes anticipatory science and technology that can innovate prevention, preparedness, and co-existence. The Wildland Fire applications area website is available at https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov/what-we-do/wildfires. When it is solicited, program seeks to successfully catalyze new paradigms of thriving in the face of wildland fire perils through better Earth observation-informed management practice. The program’s Actionable Fire Science Information Hub is a centralized location for collaboration among project teams with community stakeholders and is available at https://cec-ash-prof-services.hub.arcgis.com/.

When ROSES-2023 was released it included A.48 Earth Science Applications: Wildland Fires as a TBD placeholder that said it "may" be solicited as part of ROSES-2023. ROSES-2023 Amendment 50 announces that program element A.48 WFMP will not be solicited this year. However, NASA intends to solicit this program element in ROSES‑2024.

On or about September 28, 2023, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2023" (NNH23ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023

Questions concerning A.48 Earth Science Applications: Wildland Fires may be directed to Mike Falkowski at michael.falkowski@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 […]

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
