Researchers will derive equilibration timescales of...
- 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...
- 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...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $675,323 Project Grant to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) to study the role of urban and agricultural landscapes in biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions and their impact on atmospheric ozone and aerosols. The project combines field and laboratory measurements with numerical modeling to quantify BVOC emissions from managed landscapes and their contribution to air pollution and climate-relevant processes. This research aims to identify and characterize the processes and sources that control urban and agricultural BVOC emissions, and evaluate the impact of land management practices on atmospheric oxidants and aerosols. The project will support a postdoctoral researcher, a graduate student, and at least three undergraduate students, and include outreach activities to introduce BVOC emission measurement and modeling to middle school students. This award reflects NSF's mission to expand fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in the atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences.
