This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $486,913 to the University of Washington for collaborative research investigating glacial-interglacial variability in tropospheric reactive halogens. Specifically, the research will examine how blowing snow on sea ice can explain increases in sodium ions observed in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores over glacial-interglacial timescales. It...
This $254,882 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating the sensitivity of reactive halogen abundance to glacial-interglacial climate change. Over a three-year period ending June 2025, the University of Rochester will examine how blowing snow on sea ice may explain increased sodium ion observations in ice cores over glacial-interglacial timescales. The project will also identify major drivers for reactive halogen...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $190,000 Project Grant to study peroxy radical (RO2) reactivity through functionalized organic iodides. The two-year award runs from March 2021 through February 2023. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA #47.050), the grantee will conduct basic research to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through supporting atmospheric and ocean sciences. Specifically, the grantee will investigate peroxy...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, totaling $660,762, will fund research into atmospheric chlorine oxidation of hydrocarbons emitted from Alaska's North Slope oil fields. The research, to be conducted by the University of Michigan from June 2022 to May 2025, aims to investigate the dominant mechanisms of chlorine oxidation of atmospheric trace gases through three objectives: identifying and quantifying reactive...
This $120,981 National Science Foundation project grant supports collaborative research by Aerodyne Research Inc. to investigate atmospheric chlorine oxidation of hydrocarbons emitted from Alaska's North Slope oil fields. The research aims to identify reactive volatile organic compounds and quantify their chlorine reactivity in the Arctic oil field environment. It will also identify oxygenated volatile organic compounds and secondary organic aerosol products of VOC-chlorine reactions. Scientists...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $291,557 to Brown University to conduct collaborative research on the behavior of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) in continental volcanic arc systems. The key objectives are to: Determine whether halogens are concentrated more in plutonic or volcanic rocks within the same ancient arc system exposed in the Sierra Nevada, California. Identify the primary mineral...
This two-year, $190,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will support investigations into atmospheric chlorine chemistry in the Arctic and its potential to create secondary organic aerosol. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which aims to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research, this fellowship will examine the low-temperature oxidation of volatile organic compounds by...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Polar Programs (CFDA 47.078) provides $533,913 to the University of California San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to continue a long-term atmospheric observing system that tracks changes in Arctic biogeochemistry. The project will measure key carbon and oxygen cycle tracers, including atmospheric CO2 concentration, CO2 isotopic composition, and O2/N2 and Ar/N2 ratios, at three Arctic sites over the award period from...
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 $513,000 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Polar Programs from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2026. The grant supports collaborative research by the University of Colorado to assess the causal influence of atmospheric opacity (clouds) and sea ice thickness on Arctic warming over the past 40 years and into the near future. Key deliverables include quantifying the impact of these factors on Arctic warming rates using a novel modeling approach,...
