The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $163,674 CAREER project grant under CFDA 47.050 Geosciences to the University of Southern California (USC) to apply machine learning tools to develop new computational methods to improve predictability in atmospheric chemistry. The project aims to gain a better understanding of the controlling factors behind the chemical composition of the atmosphere, especially those related to the plant biosphere. This effort is expected to transform the...
This $616,131 National Science Foundation project grant will fund the development of observation-based metrics to evaluate global atmospheric chemistry models at the University of California, Irvine through January 2025. As part of its Geosciences program, which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences, the NSF aims to strengthen the scientific enterprise's understanding of the integrated Earth system. Under this award, the university will design, test, and document a...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $499,732 will fund research to constrain the mechanistic effects of spatial resolution on global air quality modeling. The investigators at the Washington University will perform a series of chemical transport model simulations from March 2023 to February 2026 to study errors that arise in model simulations due to coarse horizontal resolution. The research goals are to quantify and interpret the resolution dependence of non-linear...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems Project Grant award (CFDA 47.070) for $207,394 supports collaborative research between Washington University and researchers from MIT to improve the performance of the GEOS-Chem 3D atmospheric simulation software. The goal is to speed up the complex GEOS-Chem model, which simulates the evolution of the Earth's atmospheric chemical composition and is an essential tool for understanding climate change. The...
This National Science Foundation project grant award of $816,275 will fund research at the University of California, Davis from July 2022 through June 2025 to improve understanding of how photo-oxidants form and influence the chemistry of atmospheric particles under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the award will support measuring photo-oxidant concentrations and reaction kinetics in aerosol liquid water extracts from particles collected in Davis, California. It will also...
This $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by Professor Victoria Barber of the University of California, Los Angeles to investigate gas-phase reaction pathways of peroxy radicals (RO2) in the Earth's atmosphere. The project aims to improve understanding of RO2 isomerization and self- or cross-reactions, and their implications for secondary organic aerosol...
This $399,162 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to develop interpretable, stable, and mass-conserving artificial intelligence (AI) models to improve the computational speed and efficiency of geoscientific models, such as those used for air pollution and climate research. The project will create simpler "surrogate" machine learning models for key components like atmospheric chemistry and wildfire plume rise, allowing for...
