This $523,946 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research linking helium isotope ratios with eruptive behavior at recent volcanoes in Hawaii, Iceland, and the Canary Islands. The awardee, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, will extract helium from lava samples spanning eruptions at Kilauea volcano (2018), Fagradalsfjall volcano (2021), and Cumbre Vieja volcano (2021) to establish time series of helium isotope ratios. The researchers...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $263,928 to fund collaborative research involving novel sampling and isotopic characterization of upper stratospheric to mesospheric photochemistry. Specifically, the award supports experimentation with a zero-carbon emission rocket to obtain air samples from the mesosphere at 37km and 70km altitudes. Four atmospheric samples...
This $202,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support observational and modeling research to address critical gaps in understanding the production and distribution of giant sea salt aerosols (GSSA) in the atmosphere. The research, conducted by a postdoctoral fellow, will involve field measurements of GSSA using specialized instrumentation during research cruises from Hawaii, which will be combined with large eddy...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $114,165 to the University of New Mexico from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027 to develop a novel condensable carrier gas system for isotope laser spectroscopy analysis. The project aims to substitute nitrogen gas with nitrous oxide (N2O) to improve the sample preparation and analysis process for measuring rare oxygen isotopes, which have applications in fields like paleoclimatology and...
