Under the grant, Carnegie Mellon University will conduct research from January 2022 through December 2024 to examine interactions between organic oxidation and acid-base chemistry during particle...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $891,928 to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) supports research to improve the understanding of global aerosol concentrations and composition. Key objectives include: Building a global network of U.S. embassy partners and local stakeholders to enable worldwide data analysis and interpretation of aerosol measurements. Quantifying concentrations and temporal trends of major inorganic ions, black...
This $941,193 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to further develop a theory on the invariance of cloud size distribution under varying climate conditions. The research aims to evaluate whether certain cloud properties, such as the relationship between cloud size and number, remain consistent despite changes in atmospheric climate and chemical composition. The work seeks to understand the underlying physical mechanisms...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $128,741 to Carnegie Mellon University to support the participation of U.S. scientists in the international HALO-South field campaign. The key objectives are to conduct flight planning and immediate post-campaign data analysis to measure clouds and aerosols over the Southern Ocean. This effort will lead to a better understanding of the sources and sinks of cloud-nucleating aerosols in...
This $596,100 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research led by the University of California San Diego's (UCSD) Scripps Institution of Oceanography to understand the large-scale effects of shallow cloud formations on Earth's climate. The research aims to develop a global climate model that can simulate the interactions between small-scale cloud dynamics and large-scale climate processes, addressing three key questions:...
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...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $150,354 to Texas A&M University to conduct a comprehensive study on atmospheric micro- and nano-plastic particles (MNPPs). The project aims to: 1) quantify the real-time and offline concentrations, spatial distribution, and sources of major atmospheric MNPPs; 2) characterize the atmospheric reaction kinetics, chemical reactivity, and decomposition products of MNPPs through...
This three-year, $454,659 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports the continued membership of three universities in the Cloud Consortium at CERN. The Consortium will study the chemistry and physics that drive new particle formation and growth in Earth's atmosphere using a 26 cubic meter stainless steel chamber. Over the grant period, research will focus on chemical mechanisms generating extremely low volatility organic compounds that can...
This three-year, $619,592 National Science Foundation project grant will fund the development of a multiscale model to predict the evolution of atmospheric soot particles through restructuring processes. Awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the grant supports basic research to advance modeling of how soot particle properties change after emission via contact with trace gases and water vapor in the atmosphere. The grantee, New Jersey Institute of Technology, will develop a...
