This $443,926 National Science Foundation project grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) will fund research into the physical and chemical controls on aerobic methane oxidation. The University of Rochester will investigate variables that influence the oxidation of methane in oxygenated natural waters to better understand this important greenhouse gas sink. Laboratory experiments and field work on the Great Lakes and US Atlantic coast will evaluate the kinetics of aerobic methane...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $603,364 project grant to the University of Rochester to support collaborative research on improving estimates of geologic methane emissions to the atmosphere from microseepage. The three-year award, made under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research from February 2021 through January 2024 to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through expanding knowledge of...
This $254,882 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research investigating the sensitivity of reactive halogen abundance to glacial-interglacial climate change. Over a three-year period ending June 2025, the University of Rochester will examine how blowing snow on sea ice may explain increased sodium ion observations in ice cores over glacial-interglacial timescales. The project will also identify major drivers for reactive halogen...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $610,538 to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to conduct collaborative research on the oxidation of non-methane volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere. The research aims to better understand the formation mechanisms and yields of key secondary atmospheric species such as ozone, formaldehyde, and secondary organic aerosol. Through model-informed chamber studies, the...
This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, totaling $660,762, will fund research into atmospheric chlorine oxidation of hydrocarbons emitted from Alaska's North Slope oil fields. The research, to be conducted by the University of Michigan from June 2022 to May 2025, aims to investigate the dominant mechanisms of chlorine oxidation of atmospheric trace gases through three objectives: identifying and quantifying reactive...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $214,924 to Aerodyne Research Inc. to develop a field-deployable Oxidation Flow Reactor and conduct associated laboratory and field studies. The Reactor will be used to better understand nighttime chemistry in the atmosphere, specifically the relative contributions of hydroxyl and nitrate radicals to the formation of oxidized...
The National Science Foundation's Geosciences program awarded a $299,818 EAGER grant to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (doing business as Stony Brook University) to investigate a chemical mechanism that could utilize naturally generated chlorine from sea-spray aerosol and iron from Saharan dust to oxidize and remove methane from the atmosphere. The project aims to evaluate the viability of adding chlorine to the atmosphere as a means of mitigating climate change...
This $750,000 Project Grant was awarded on August 15, 2024 by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The research team led by Professors Jesse Kroll and William Green will carry out experimental and computational studies to investigate the chemical reactions of organic peroxy (RO2) radicals in atmospheric droplets and particles. The goal is to gain a predictive,...
This Project Grant award, totaling $272,363.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to Aerodyne Research Inc., a small business manufacturer and research and development company based in Billerica, Massachusetts. The purpose of this award is to conduct collaborative research on the oxidation of non-methane volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere. The project aims to (1) better understand the formation mechanism and...
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was awarded a $582,732 project grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences to conduct collaborative research on the role of organic peroxy radicals (RO2) chemistry on the evolution of atmospheric organic carbon.
