The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $797,203 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine). The goal of this 3-year project, with an end date of January 2027, is to better understand how photochemical reactions in the solid or liquid phase of organic compounds affect the key properties of organic aerosol in the atmosphere. The research will focus on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and/or biomass burning organic aerosol...
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...
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...
Aerodyne Research Inc. was awarded a $224,940 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to conduct collaborative research studying the role of organic peroxy radicals (RO2) chemistry on the evolution of atmospheric organic carbon.
