This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $486,913 to the University of Washington for collaborative research investigating glacial-interglacial variability in tropospheric reactive halogens. Specifically, the research will examine how blowing snow on sea ice can explain increases in sodium ions observed in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores over glacial-interglacial timescales. It...
This three-year National Science Foundation project grant of $358,891 will fund research and educational activities related to understanding the cycling of halogens like chlorine and fluorine in Earth's early magmas and fluids. Led by the University of Rochester under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the project aims to advance fundamental knowledge of integrated Earth system processes through targeted studies of ancient zircon minerals. Key deliverables include high-temperature and...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Research (CFDA 47.078) program provides $755,980 to the University of Rochester to obtain and analyze new ice cores from Antarctica's Dome C. The research aims to improve understanding of the history of galactic cosmic ray flux and the global methane budget over the Holocene period. Key activities include: Measuring in-situ cosmogenic carbon-14 in the ice cores to test the assumption of a constant galactic cosmic ray flux,...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program awarded a $148,749 project grant to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to reanalyze previously collected reactive halogen spectroscopy data from Arctic observing buoys. The purpose is to study the potential synergies between bromine and iodine chemistry and their impact on Arctic ozone depletion, with a focus on the role of iodine. The research team will quantify seasonal and regional distributions of iodine and bromine, validate the...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program awarded a $299,818 EAGER grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (doing business as Stony Brook University) to investigate a chemical mechanism that could utilize naturally generated chlorine from sea-spray aerosol and iron from Saharan dust to oxidize and remove methane from the atmosphere. The project aims to evaluate the viability of adding chlorine to the atmosphere as a means of mitigating climate change...
This $330,935 project grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Earth Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to quantify how halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) and chlorine isotopes behave during metamorphic dehydration of sedimentary rocks. The research team at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) will analyze halogen concentrations and chlorine isotopes in well-characterized metapelite rock suites from around the world...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $199,997 Project Grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York, doing business as Suny ESF, under the NSF Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) with a period of performance from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024. The grant is supporting a RAPID project to characterize the sources and chemistry of nitrogen oxides, nitrous acid, and particulate nitrate during the AEROMMA...
This three-year, $384,577 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support collaborative research to construct robust temperature and ice volume histories during the late Cretaceous and Cenozoic periods (approximately 77-0 million years ago). The University of Rochester will utilize benthic foraminiferal test compositions from sea floor sediments to develop proxy records of deep ocean temperatures,...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, totaling $660,762, will fund research into atmospheric chlorine oxidation of hydrocarbons emitted from Alaska's North Slope oil fields. The research, to be conducted by the University of Michigan from June 2022 to May 2025, aims to investigate the dominant mechanisms of chlorine oxidation of atmospheric trace gases through three objectives: identifying and quantifying reactive...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $202,000.00 to fund observational and modeling research to develop a unified source function for giant sea salt aerosols (GSSA). The research aims to address critical gaps in understanding GSSA production and vertical distribution in the atmosphere above the ocean's surface. The project will employ a specialized instrument to collect GSSA measurements during research cruises from Hawaii,...
