The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded $481,441 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) on July 1, 2026, to conduct collaborative research on reactive trace gases and aerosol production in agricultural ecosystems. This three-year project, scheduled for completion on June 30, 2029, will deliver direct measurements of volatile organic compound (VOC) fluxes over livestock operations and multiple crop types in Indiana, advancing understanding of farmland-atmosphere interactions and their effects on air quality. The research will produce novel observational data characterizing the speciation, direction, and magnitude of VOC emissions; physical and chemical properties of submicron particulate matter; and improved chemical transport model representations of agricultural environments. The project will deliver quantitative scientific insights into the bidirectional surface-atmosphere exchange of VOCs and their influence on near-surface chemistry and aerosol formation through three primary research objectives: quantifying VOC flux drivers using factor analysis and machine learning; characterizing submicron particulate matter properties and origin processes; and enhancing chemical transport model capabilities for farmland environments. Results will identify specific agricultural emissions contributing most significantly to atmospheric ozone and aerosol production, with implications for crop yields and public health. The research includes significant student involvement and leverages collaborations with federal agency partners to broaden the impact of findings on air quality understanding.Grant Award Summary
