Goddard Earth Sciences and Technology Center
Description: In 2000 the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) awarded a Cooperative Agreement to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, to create a center of excellence in the Earth sciences. Through this arrangement, UMBC and its partners - Hampton University, Howard University, Caelum Research Corporation, and Northrop Grumman Corporation - began to develop collaborative research programs in all areas of the Earth sciences. GEST exists under a five-year, renewable award with GSFC. This consortium between government, university and private industry is expected not only to provide a secure "home" for Earth scientists, but to synergistically foster new directions in research and technology.
