The aim of the project summarized in this report was to determine the feasibility of detecting change in surface water levels and associated wetland biomass at the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge. This study sought to assess the potential for using Landsat thematic mapper TM imagery for detecting change in water levels and biomass at the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge wetlands. It was shown that water level change can be quantitatively determined with great accuracy. Changes in biomass are more gradational than water level change but qualitative and spatial change can easily be shown. This study observed change over approximately four months or the changes from summer to fall.

Summary
Description
Impact Technologies proposes to develop a real-time prognostic and fault/failure accommodation system of critical electric power system components including power converters and electro-mechanical drives for the aerospace and aeronautical industry. The innovation of project is focused on the integration of emerging prognostic technologies with fault tolerant methodologies to improve system reliability and mission readiness for NASA's next generation electrical power systems. The proposed concept will utilize incipient fault detection techniques to provide longer predicted horizons prior to failures, and time to trigger the appropriate reconfiguration scheme. Impact Technologies' approach uses fault detection circuits and algorithms to analyze data from several sources including electrical and environmental measurements, model estimates, and usage conditions. Up-to-date assessments of the electrical system health and remaining useful life of critical components will be made possible via an on-board embedded processing system, which continuously updates prognostic models with sensed data and predicts the best fault accommodation strategy to meet mission objectives. The proposed electrical system fault prognosis and accommodation approach will be demonstrated with a Motor/Generator/Drive test bench adapted for use in this program and with data from the modern aerospace power system and electromechanical actuators.

Summary
Description
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform. This LiDAR dataset is a survey of areas of coastal New York, including Long Island, eastern Westchester, and the tidal extents of the Hudson River. The project area consists of approximately 950 square miles. The project design of the LiDAR data acquisition was developed to support a nominal post spacing of 1.0 meter or better (1.0 meter GSD). GMR Aerial Surveys Inc. d/b/a Photo Science, Inc. acquired 740 flight lines in 63 lifts between November 2011 and April 2012, while no snow was on the ground, rivers were at or below normal levels, no strong onshore winds, high waves, floods, or other anomalous weather conditions. Specified areas of the project were collected at a tide stage where water levels are at least 1-foot below mean sea level (MSL). This collection was a joint effort by the NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC) and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The data collection was performed with three Cessna 206 single engine aircrafts, utilizing Optech Gemini sensors; collecting multiple return x, y, and z as well as intensity data. The data were classified as Unclassified (1), Ground (2), Low Point (Noise) (7), Water (9), Breakline Edge (10), Withheld (11), Tidal Water (14), Overlap Default (17), and Overlap Ground (18), Overlap Water (25), and Overlap Tidal Water (30). Upon receipt, the NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC), for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes, converted these classifications to the following: 1 - Unclassified 2 - Ground 7 - Low Point (Noise) 9 - Water NOAA tide gauges were used as the basis for flight planning the tidally coordinated areas. Some areas were collected using tidal restraints as listed below: Tidal Wetlands and tributary mouths selected for tidal coordination at Mean Sea Level (MSL) minus 1 foot were: Rondout Creek Outlet; Vanderburg Cove, Moodna Creek, Constitution Marsh, Iona Marsh, Annsville Creek, Croton River Outlet, Marlboro Marsh, Manitou Marsh, Fishkill Creek Outlet, and Wappingers Creek Outlet. The Upper Hudson area from North of Goose Island was also collected to the same specification. Tidal Wetlands and tributary mouths selected for tidal coordination at Mean Sea Level (MSL) were: Haverstraw at Minisceongo Creek and Piedmont Marsh. The remainder of the project area had no tidal restrictions for collection. In order to post process the LiDAR data to meet task order specifications, Photo Science, Inc. established a total of 81 control points that were used to calibrate the LiDAR to known ground locations established throughout the New York project area. Trimble R8-3 GNSS receivers were used to complete the collection. Real Time Kinematic (RTK) survey methodology was typically performed using the New York State Spatial Reference Network (NYSNet), a CORS/Real Time GPS Network. Additionally, control values from various other projects completed by Photo Science in and around the project area, were used as supplemental control points to assist in the calibration of the LiDAR dataset. The dataset was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of UTM NAD83 (NSRS2007), UTM Zone 18, meters and vertical datum of NAVD1988 (GEOID09), meters. Upon receipt, for data storage and Digital Coast provisioning purposes, the NOAA Coastal Services Center converted the data to GRS80 Ellipsoid (GEOID09) heights, to geographic (NAD83, NSRS2007) coordinates, and from las format to laz format. LiDAR data were collected in RAW flightline swath format, processed to create Classified LAS 1.2 Files formatted to 2093 individual 750m x 750m tiles, Hydro Flattening Breaklines in Esri 1.0 meter gridded V-Datum ESRI Grid files formatted to the same 3000m x 3000m tile schema. LiDAR Data was originally delivered to NOAA/Dewberry for quality control validation under Delivery Lots 1 and 2. The lineage (data quality), positional, content (completeness), attribution, logical consistency, and accuracies of all digital elevation data produced conform to the specifications stipulated in NOAA Task Order EA133C11CQ0009 - T011.

Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) proposes to develop an extremely compact, lightweight and regenerable Microlith<SUP>REG</SUP> catalytic CO2 reduction reactor, capable of converting mixtures of CO2 and H2 to carbon and water vapor with high CO2 conversions at high throughputs and at low operating temperatures. This is based on a novel catalytic reactor approach with high heat and mass transfer, high conversion efficiency, narrow temperature distribution, and novel approaches to carbon removal. The utilization of carbon dioxide to produce life support consumables, such as O2 and H2O, via Bosch reaction offers a potential advance for NASA's cabin atmosphere revitalization system (ARS) and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) concepts for long-term manned space missions. Current Bosch reactor designs suffer from a large recycle penalty due to slow reaction rates and the inherent limitation in approaching thermodynamic equilibrium, plus significant challenge in carbon removal. PCI's short contact time catalysts offer the potential for faster reaction rates, higher conversions and a reduced need for recycle. In addition, strategies will be explored for more effective mechanical and chemical approaches to carbon removal and catalyst regeneration. The approach offers a potential for an ultra-compact Bosch reactor with improved effectiveness and robustness, with lower pressure drop and power requirement.
