Huang's NASA Proposal Selected for Funding
The proposal titled “Tracking Sea Level Rise in American Samoa with Ultra-High-Resolution SAR Imagery: An Umbra Feasibility Study,” of which Stacey Huang (61A/UMBC) is PI, has been selected for funding by NASA. The project team includes Dr. Huang along with Co-Is MinJeong Jo (618/UMBC), Jeanne Sauber, and Kelly Anderson Tagarino, and Collaborator Carla Baizeau. The period of performance is 8/1/24 - 7/31/25.
Dr. Huang provided the following information about this grant:
"The goal of this research is to assess the utility of using high-resolution commercial SAR data from Umbra to characterize the extent of coastal flooding and ongoing post-seismic subsidence in American Samoa. This work has key implications for understanding the consequences of continued sea level rise in the island and will be used to better understand how commercial SAR assets can contribute to important science questions regarding sea level rise, especially in the southwest Pacific."
