Amendment 75: New Opportunity: A.64 FORTE Science Team
The Earth Venture Suborbital (EVS) mission Frontlines Of Rapidly Transforming Ecosystems (FORTE) will apply the unique advantages of high resolution, ecosystem-scale, and suborbital passive and active remote sensing observations to explicitly link hydrological, biogeochemical and ecological processes in Arctic land-ocean systems. FORTE will fill a critical gap in our mechanistic understanding and modeling of environmental change impacts by targeting the transitional continuum of Alaska’s northernmost and fast changing systems – eroding coastlines, rivers, deltas, and estuaries – that connect land to sea: a dynamic continuum that can uniquely be captured from suborbital and remote sensing platforms. Program Element A.64 FORTE Science Team seeks to formulate the FORTE Mission Science Team, that will be in place for a four-year period (spring 2026-2030) and will participate in a multi-year field campaign to address the science objectives of the FORTE mission.
ROSES-2024 Amendment 75 presents a new program element in ROSES-2024: A.64 FORTE Science Team (ST). NOIs are requested by January 21, 2025, and proposals are due April 21, 2025.
On or about December 2, 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.64 FORTE ST may be directed to Laura Lorenzoni at laura.lorenzoni@nasa.gov and Maria Tzortziou at mtzortziou@ccny.cuny.edu.
