Opportunity Information: Apply for P15AS00247
The National Park Service (NPS) intends to award a cooperative agreement to Colorado State University (CSU) for a project titled "Assistance for Visibility Data Analysis and Image Display Techniques." The total funding amount is approximately $895,976, with no required cost share. The agreement will last from the award date until August 30, 2016.
The project aims to enhance the understanding of how air pollutants impact visibility and ecosystems within national parks. Using data from the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) program, CSU will analyze the chemical composition of atmospheric particles and their effects on scenic views, thereby supporting air quality management across different governmental levels.
Key activities will include researching nitrogen deposition, evaluating the effects of oil and gas development on air quality, and providing public outreach to help people understand these environmental issues. The collaboration will facilitate data sharing and visualization techniques that accurately represent how air quality conditions can affect natural sights. Both NPS and CSU will work together to publish findings and conduct outreach efforts, particularly in educational settings.
NPS justified the need for this agreement without competition based on the continuation of a previous task agreement and the unique qualifications of CSU in delivering the required scientific insights. This cooperative initiative aligns with the objectives of protecting and improving air quality in national park areas.Apply for P15AS00247
