This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports a postdoctoral research project focused on studying the mechanism and atmospheric impact of organic peroxy radical (RO2) self-reactions. The $100,000 award, with a project period from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, aims to yield the first conclusive detection of the tetroxide intermediate formed during the peroxy radical self-reaction and directly measure its...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $214,924 to Aerodyne Research Inc. to develop a field-deployable Oxidation Flow Reactor and conduct associated laboratory and field studies. The Reactor will be used to better understand nighttime chemistry in the atmosphere, specifically the relative contributions of hydroxyl and nitrate radicals to the formation of oxidized...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $334,376 will fund the development of a new field-deployable Oxidation Flow Reactor tool and its use in laboratory and field studies to advance understanding of nighttime nitrogen chemistry in the atmosphere. Specifically, the collaborators will build an Oxidation Flow Reactor to provide new insights into nitrate radical-initiated atmospheric oxidative aging processes and the relative contributions of hydroxyl and nitrate radicals to the...
This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), provides $199,965.00 to Weber State University (WSU) to quantify the impacts of halogen emissions on atmospheric oxidation rates and particulate matter concentrations in the Salt Lake City, Utah region. The two-year project, titled "EMBRACE-AGS-SEED: Quantification of Halogen Emission Impacts on Atmospheric Oxidation Rates in Urban Atmospheres," will involve highly specialized field...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $596,226 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) to conduct research on the reactions of monoterpenes with hydroxyl radicals (OH) and the resulting gas and aerosol products. The objectives of this 3-year project are to: (1) achieve an improved understanding and quantitative description of how molecular structure and oxidation regime affect the gas- and...
Aerodyne Research Inc. was awarded a $224,940 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to conduct collaborative research studying the role of organic peroxy radicals (RO2) chemistry on the evolution of atmospheric organic carbon. The three-year award, issued on December 1, 2021 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support basic research at Aerodyne's facility in Billerica, MA through November 30, 2024. The Geosciences program...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $872,179 Project Grant to Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, for the "Seasonal Measurements of Hydrogen Oxide Radical (HOx) Chemistry in Forests" project. The 3-year grant, running from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026, will fund measurements of hydroxyl radical and peroxy radical concentrations in different forest environments, including Indiana...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $259,132 Project Grant to Carnegie Mellon University under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) to investigate peroxy radicals, which are highly reactive organic molecules that play a critical role in atmospheric and combustion chemistry. The project aims to develop a new and improved method for measuring these important chemical species using advanced mass spectrometry techniques. If successful, this work will provide...
