- This $200,000 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Directorate (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The goal is to evaluate the immediate and long-term impacts of the 2023 Maui wildfires on the chemical and microbiological quality of nearby beach and coastal waters. The project will collect and analyze environmental samples, including sediments, surface water, and groundwater, to characterize the extent and mechanisms of contaminant...
- This $100,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) will support field research to collect, archive, and characterize residual ash, transported ash, and particulate matter from the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. The research aims to quantify the concentration and speciation of toxic elements in airborne particulate matter collected during and following the fires. Key...
- This $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into the sustained air quality impacts of the Marshall Fire in Boulder County, Colorado. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Colorado will investigate indoor air pollution in homes surrounding the burn areas through continued measurements of volatile organic compounds and particulate matter. The grant will also support analysis of the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of South Carolina. The purpose of this RAPID award is to examine the concentration, composition, and properties of metals, metal-bearing nanomaterials, and environmentally persistent free radicals in fire ash and soil collected following the recent Maui wildfire. The research aims to 1) quantify the levels of these contaminants, 2) characterize their properties and...
