- The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded a $390,804 Project Grant to the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050). The grant will fund research into atmospheric lakes of vapor drifting over the east coast of Africa from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024. As part of the Geosciences program's goal of expanding knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will support a two-year time-series study of size-fractionated aerosol samples collected near Bermuda in the North Atlantic Ocean. The $571,384 award to the University of Delaware aims to: 1) analyze temporal variations in the size distribution of aerosol trace elements like iron, 2) quantify lower and upper estimates of potentially bioavailable iron, 3) investigate the chemical...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded the University of Maryland, College Park $799,030 on March 1, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to quantify how cloud-surface coupling influences aerosol-cloud interactions across varying land surface types and atmospheric conditions. The research team will use ground, airborne, and space-based sensor data combined with machine learning and numerical simulations to determine whether theory...
The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded the University of Miami $435,773 on August 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to conduct collaborative research on carbonaceous aerosol sources and properties in the North Atlantic Basin. The research focuses on three primary carbonaceous aerosol sources over the North Atlantic: soil-derived organic matter transported with dust, smoke from sub-Saharan wildfires, and marine organic aerosol including Sargassum blooms. Field measurements will be collected at Ragged Point in Barbados during two field campaigns—one targeting summertime dust transport and one targeting springtime smoke transport. The project will improve understanding of aerosol radiative impacts, aerosol-cloud interactions over the tropical Atlantic marine boundary layer, and aerosol impacts on biogeochemical cycles. Results will inform more accurate representations of aerosol and cloud processes in numerical weather prediction and Earth system models. The research will also examine how organic material enhances iron solubility to stimulate marine productivity. Performance occurs at the recipient's location in Key Biscayne, Florida, with a period of performance through July 31, 2029. The award supports workforce training through engagement of high school students, undergraduate and graduate students, and post-doctoral researchers across multiple U.S. institutions. No sub-awards are planned.
