Project Grant 2414615
- 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...
- The National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) awarded a $672,505 project grant to Cleveland State University to investigate how urban tree canopies impact stormwater runoff and water quality. The 3-year project will use advanced methods from hydrology, ecology, and remote sensing to quantify how rainfall interception, stemflow, and throughfall vary across common urban tree species like oak and maple. The research aims to determine which canopy traits are most effective...
- This $200,000 two-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology will fund research into the role of native and nonnative trees in structuring urban food webs. The official federal grant program is the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), which supports basic biological research to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise. Specifically, the grant will support a field experiment involving the planting of 200 native and nonnative oak trees in...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $797,203 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine). The goal of this 3-year project, with an end date of January 2027, is to better understand how photochemical reactions in the solid or liquid phase of organic compounds affect the key properties of organic aerosol in the atmosphere. The research will focus on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and/or biomass burning organic aerosol...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to quantitatively assess the influence of salt on the aqueous partitioning of water-soluble organic gases in the atmosphere. The $709,720 project, which runs from December 2024 to November 2027, will involve field and laboratory measurements, reanalysis of prior atmospheric chemistry data, and the development of parameterizations for implementation in chemical transport models....
- This $651,159 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research examining particulate matter transport through forest canopies. The University of Utah will monitor storm conditions, throughfall, stemflow, and particulate composition across 11 forest sites in the National Ecological Observatory Network, representing major North American forest types. The project aims to estimate particulate mass fluxes, characterize particulate...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $188,280 Project Grant under its Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota. The grant supports a two-year planning effort to assess the synergies and trade-offs between the benefits and burdens of urban trees and forests. Key objectives include: (i) analyzing the convergent conditions of tree-related ecosystem services and disservices in metropolitan regions, (ii) evaluating tree species-level vulnerability to...
- This National Science Foundation project grant award of $816,275 will fund research at the University of California, Davis from July 2022 through June 2025 to improve understanding of how photo-oxidants form and influence the chemistry of atmospheric particles under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). Specifically, the award will support measuring photo-oxidant concentrations and reaction kinetics in aerosol liquid water extracts from particles collected in Davis, California. It will also...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded the Urban Forest Institute a $3,773,164 Project Grant under the Inflation Reduction Act Urban & Community Forestry Program (CFDA 10.727) on February 20, 2024. The grant funds a 5-year project to plan, establish, manage, and protect trees, forests, green spaces, and related natural resources in disadvantaged communities across California. Key activities include tree planting, ecosystem restoration, conservation planning, workforce...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $324,608 to the University of Southern California (USC) will apply machine learning tools to improve predictability in atmospheric chemistry. The project aims to gain a better understanding of the influence of the plant biosphere on atmospheric composition and chemistry, with a focus on quantifying uncertainties and investigating the impact of canopy-scale processes on regional-to-global aerosol and...
This $480,588 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a 3-year investigation by the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to assess the emission rates and composition of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) from urban trees, as well as their efficiency in capturing airborne particles. The study aims to determine which tree species are best suited to help reduce air pollution in urban areas. Key activities include field measurements, laboratory experiments, and box modeling to quantify the net effects of urban trees on atmospheric particle concentrations and loadings. The project also includes developing and implementing high school curriculum focused on urban air quality, environmental justice, and data literacy. No subawards are planned for this award.
