UTEP Awarded $551K Grant to Research Effects of Solar-Induced Fluorescence to Monitor Arctic Vegetation
Date: October 21, 2019



The University of Texas at El Paso Department of Biological Sciences was awarded a $551,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration through the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Biological Sciences to research the relationship between solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) and vegetation photosynthetic capacity. Findings could aid scientists in predicting the future response of arctic vegetation to climate change.
