- The National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs awarded Colorado State University a $673,107 Project Grant under the Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) federal grant program. The grant will support improved understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions during the Arctic sea ice melt period from May to June 2023. As part of the Swedish-led ARTOFMELT expedition aboard the icebreaker Oden in the Arctic Ocean, the university will conduct observations and modeling to characterize aerosol...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Project Grant award, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $158,059 to Colorado State University from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The funding will support collaborative research to understand the impact of declining Arctic sea ice on summertime climate change, including the effects on atmospheric circulation patterns, heat waves, and extreme weather. The research approach includes analysis...
- This $250,771 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs to Colorado State University to conduct collaborative research on the interaction between Antarctic low clouds and natural aerosols. The research aims to improve global climate model simulations over Antarctica and the Southern Ocean by better representing low-level cloud physics, which have significant impacts on ice surface melt and solar energy transmission. The 4-year project will...
- 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...
- This three-year, $627,411 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), will support research on recent changes in Arctic biogenic sulfur aerosols through analysis of a central Greenland ice core. The University of Washington, as prime awardee, will collaborate with the University of St. Andrews to measure the concentrations and sulfur isotope compositions of methane sulfonic acid and sulfate in...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Polar Programs, under the Polar Programs federal grant program (CFDA 47.078), provides $560,052 to Colorado State University to improve seasonal sea ice extent predictability in the Arctic Ocean. The research aims to use ocean heat patterns and the timing of autumn sea ice freeze up from reanalysis data and the CESM2 Large Ensemble to evaluate which environmental variables most significantly contribute to sea ice loss. The grant...
