Georgia TECH Research Corp received a $775,570 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded June 1, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2029. This collaborative research initiative will deliver real-time atmospheric monitoring and analysis of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) composition in Fairbanks, Alaska, with particular focus on sulfur species and aerosol acidity under Arctic winter conditions. The research will produce high time-resolution measurements of sulfate, hydroxymethanesulfonate, and related sulfur compounds, while simultaneously characterizing aerosol thermodynamics including liquid water content and particle acidity. Additionally, the award will generate comprehensive gas-phase measurements of ammonia, nitric acid, and trace gases to advance understanding of processes influencing aerosol composition. The grant builds upon the 2022 Alaskan Layered Pollution and Chemical Analysis (ALPACA) study and leverages a recent government-mandated transition to lower-sulfur fuel oil in Fairbanks to quantify atmospheric impacts of reduced sulfur emissions. Research outputs will include peer-reviewed scientific findings, observational datasets, and enhanced understanding of particle acidity mechanisms in cold environments. These deliverables will inform national air quality mitigation strategies and address unique Arctic community health challenges related to fine particulate matter exposure.Federal Grant Award Summary
