Baylor University was awarded a $266,622 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs to conduct the COLLABORATIVE PROPOSAL: BEAR-ONS: BIOGENIC EMISSIONS AND AEROSOL RESPONSE ON THE NORTH SLOPE research project. Under this award, Baylor University will lead research efforts from March 2021 through February 2024 to strengthen understanding of fundamental polar science processes. Specifically, the university will study biogenic emissions and aerosol responses in the North Slope region to expand knowledge of this poorly understood area as supported by the NSF's Polar Programs. The CFDA-listed purpose of the Polar Programs grant-making is to encourage basic research best conducted in or only possible to conduct in polar regions through expanded scientific understanding of these areas.
