This federal Project Grant award, valued at $620,000.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The grant supports Professors Franz Geiger and Regan Thomson of Northwestern University and their students in conducting fundamental investigations into the role of chirality, or "handedness," of plant-derived terpenes and their impact on atmospheric cloud formation processes. The research project will synthesize chiral terpenes in the lab to study how their molecular-level properties affect macroscopic atmospheric phenomena like surface tension, interfacial structure, and liquid-liquid phase separation. The findings are expected to inform scientific efforts to better model and understand the Earth's climate system. The project will also provide interdisciplinary training for graduate students and educational outreach activities targeting incarcerated students.
