- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to gain predictive understanding of the physical processes driving rapid wildfire spread and associated smoke transport. The $108,519 award to the University of Oklahoma will support research to analyze non-modal instability and large-scale turbulent flows in fire-generated smoke plumes. This work will help guide firefighters to more safely and effectively suppress wildfires by improving...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the NSF Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), will support a $366,958 research project at the University of Hawaii at Manoa to study the impacts of smoke particles and lofted dust from the 2019-2020 "Black Summer" wildfires in Australia on mixed-phase clouds over the Southern Ocean. The project aims to improve understanding of key aerosol-cloud interaction processes that influence weather, climate, and air quality....
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $137,592 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the impact of the Palisades and Eaton wildfires on volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations in the Los Angeles area. The key objectives are to: (1) measure VOC composition during and after the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, and (2) develop an understanding of VOC persistence in indoor spaces following a...
