Project Grant 2128617

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $661,673 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The grant aims to improve understanding of halocarbon lifetimes and emissions through basic research. Specifically, MIT will conduct research to better understand production and emissions of halocarbon banks to ultimately narrow the uncertainty of atmospheric lifetimes. Georgetown University is a sub-awardee under the grant and will support this research effort to advance knowledge in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences as intended by the federal program.
