- This $199,957 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will fund research at Lafayette College to advance understanding of the impacts of photochemistry on carbonyl- and ammonium-derived aqueous secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Specifically, the grantee will measure the surface tension, light absorbance, and compositions of carbonyl-containing volatile organic compound-derived aqueous SOA solutions...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to quantitatively assess the influence of salt on the aqueous partitioning of water-soluble organic gases in the atmosphere. The $709,720 project, which runs from December 2024 to November 2027, will involve field and laboratory measurements, reanalysis of prior atmospheric chemistry data, and the development of parameterizations for implementation in chemical transport models....
- 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...
- This $1.5 million National Science Foundation project grant supports research into secondary marine aerosol precursors and their links to aerosol growth during Arctic sea ice melt onset. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the goal is to advance understanding of secondary marine aerosol formation in the atmosphere and its impact on cloud properties and climate. Colorado State University will conduct measurements of volatile organic compounds and reduced sulfur compounds aboard...
- 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...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $272,363 to Aerodyne Research Inc. in Billerica, MA to conduct collaborative research on volatile organic compound oxidation across a range of organic peroxy radical conditions. The research aims to better understand the formation of key secondary atmospheric species like ozone, formaldehyde, and secondary organic aerosol, and assess how accurately these are predicted by current chemical...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences provides $217,400 to The Regents of the University of Colorado for collaborative research titled "Photochemical Silicon Aerosols: Establishing Atmospheric Sources and Significance." The research will be conducted between February 1, 2021 and January 31, 2024. The funding supports basic research under the NSF's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand understanding of the...
This $1,882,550 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the evolution of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation processes in urban atmospheres. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the three-year award to the University of Colorado will investigate the key gas-phase precursors and sources contributing to SOA, and evolution of associated chemistry over the past decade. A six-week field campaign in the Los Angeles area in summer 2022 aims to compare data with previous studies to improve understanding and models of urban SOA precursors and chemistry. The project also includes training for graduate and undergraduate students. The research products will help predict changes in urban air pollution and design effective mitigation strategies through improved knowledge of SOA precursor sources and formation pathways in cities.
