This $649,388 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research exploring the impact of future land use change on global air quality and nutrient deposition. Specifically, the awardee, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will couple land use output from the Community Land Model simulations, driven by Shared Socioeconomic Pathways scenarios, to the GEOS-Chem global chemical...
This three-year, $619,592 National Science Foundation project grant will fund the development of a multiscale model to predict the evolution of atmospheric soot particles through restructuring processes. Awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the grant supports basic research to advance modeling of how soot particle properties change after emission via contact with trace gases and water vapor in the atmosphere. The grantee, New Jersey Institute of Technology, will develop a...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $350,018 to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) to conduct research on the coagulation sink rates of sub-10 nm atmospheric particles. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate the effects of van der Waals potentials on coagulation rates, 2) explore the impact of image potentials on coagulation rates, and 3) evaluate how chemical composition influences coagulation sink rates. The...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $100,000 over 2 years to investigate the oxidation chemistry of organic aerosols in the atmosphere and its impact on their optical properties. The research will utilize innovative triple oxygen isotope measurements to elucidate the specific oxidation pathways that contribute to changes in aerosol composition, with the goal of understanding how these compositional changes affect...
This three-year $570,934 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the University of California, Irvine to study the effects of phase state on secondary organic aerosol partitioning and its impacts on atmospheric processes at regional and global scales. Specifically, the university will implement methods in the GEOS-Chem model to predict glass transition temperatures and viscosity of secondary organic aerosol. Researchers will derive equilibration timescales of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $533,566 Project Grant to the University of Miami under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support the acquisition of an Aerosol Characterization System. The System will be operated at the University's Ragged Point site in Barbados and is expected to open new research avenues related to the transport of African dust to the Americas, the impact of ocean-derived organic aerosols in the marine boundary layer, wildfire smoke, and cloud and radiation...
