Goddard Earth Sciences Technology and Research (GESTAR)
<span style="font-size:smaller;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A multidisciplinary team of Morgan State University scientists, under the leadership of Dr. Joseph A. Whittaker, successfully won a joint cooperative agreement from the Earth Sciences Division of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) worth nearly $96M, the largest federal contract in the institution's history. Through this funding, the MSU component of the GESTAR Program began in May 2011. </span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: smaller; line-height: 23px;">This program brings more than 40 established and internationally recognized scientists to MSU and creates broad research and internship opportunities in earth and atmospheric sciences for our students. </span>
