The University of Alaska Fairbanks received a $356,875 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) for research spanning June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2029. This collaborative research initiative will advance understanding of particle acidity in cold atmospheric environments and quantify the effects of sulfur emission reductions on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Fairbanks, Alaska. Building on findings from the 2022 Alaskan Layered Pollution and Chemical Analysis (ALPACA) study, the project will deploy real-time monitoring instrumentation to measure PM2.5 sulfate, hydroxymethanesulfonate, and related sulfur species while characterizing aerosol thermodynamics, liquid water content, and acidity under Arctic winter conditions. High time resolution measurements of gas-phase ammonia, nitric acid, and other trace gases will provide critical data on processes influencing aerosol composition. The research directly supports national air quality mitigation strategies by assessing the atmospheric impacts of Alaska's government-mandated transition to lower-sulfur fuel oil and addressing the unique air quality challenges faced by Arctic communities. By elucidating heterogeneous chemistry processes and aerosol dynamics specific to extreme cold environments, the project will generate peer-reviewed scientific findings and datasets that inform public health policies and guide national strategies to reduce exposure to fine particulate matter in remote regions.Federal Project Grant Summary
