About this award
This is a $473,985.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to study the effects of aerosols on cloud microphysics in the warming Arctic climate. The project will leverage data from various satellite instruments, models, and ground/aircraft-based observations to characterize cloud properties and aerosol impacts, with the goal of improving parameterizations of aerosol-cloud interactions in Earth system models. The work supports priorities identified in the latest Decadal Survey and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, and will provide insights to inform future Arctic field campaigns like NASA's upcoming ARCSIX aircraft mission. This grant is not a set-aside contract and is part of UMD's broader federal research portfolio, which includes sophisticated work across domains like quantum computing, aerospace, and artificial intelligence, often conducted as a prime contractor or major subcontractor for agencies like the Department of Defense and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
