The National Science Foundation awarded a $199,840 Project Grant to the Desert Research Institute to acquire a single particle soot photometer system optimized to quantify black carbon and iron oxide aerosols. The grant is funded through the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) and aims to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Under the three-year award period from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024, the Desert Research Institute will leverage the soot photometer to conduct research quantifying black carbon and iron oxide aerosols, providing valuable data to further the program's goals of expanding knowledge of the Earth system. As a division of the Nevada System of Higher Education and subsidiary of the State of Nevada Office of the Governor, the Desert Research Institute will directly oversee and administer the project funded under this federal assistance.
