This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $195,299 to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for research characterizing the cloud formation properties of secondary organic aerosol formed from aqueous multiphase chemical processes. The research will be conducted from October 2021 through September 2024 under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research into the integrated Earth system through atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences. Specifically, the University will collaborate with other institutions to advance understanding of how secondary organic aerosols produced through aqueous chemistry in the atmosphere may impact cloud formation and properties. The results could provide insight applicable to climate modeling and predictions.
