About this award
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), operated by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), received a $864,653.73 research grant from the National Science Foundation through its Shared Services Center to quantify the contribution of light-absorbing particles (LAP) to regional climatic changes in High Mountain Asia over recent decades. Awarded on August 1, 2020, with a completion date of December 31, 2024, this grant supports scientific research to be conducted at NCAR's facilities in Boulder, Colorado. The award carries no set-aside designation and funds a fundamental research initiative examining how aerosols and other light-absorbing particles influence climate dynamics in a climatically sensitive mountain region.
This research effort aligns with NCAR's broader mission as a federally funded research and development center specializing in atmospheric and Earth system sciences. The project contributes to the National Science Foundation's climate science portfolio by advancing understanding of how anthropogenic and natural aerosols affect regional climate patterns, with particular focus on the High Mountain Asia region where glacial systems and seasonal climate variability have significant implications for downstream water resources and global climate dynamics. UCAR's extensive experience in climate modeling, observational research, and scientific analysis positions the organization to deliver comprehensive assessment of LAP impacts through integrated modeling and data analysis approaches.
