- This $254,882 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating the sensitivity of reactive halogen abundance to glacial-interglacial climate change. Over a three-year period ending June 2025, the University of Rochester will examine how blowing snow on sea ice may explain increased sodium ion observations in ice cores over glacial-interglacial timescales. The project will also identify major drivers for reactive halogen...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program awarded a $299,818 EAGER grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (doing business as Stony Brook University) to investigate a chemical mechanism that could utilize naturally generated chlorine from sea-spray aerosol and iron from Saharan dust to oxidize and remove methane from the atmosphere. The project aims to evaluate the viability of adding chlorine to the atmosphere as a means of mitigating climate change...
