This Project Grant award of $317,959, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), aims to gain predictive understanding of the physical processes underlying rapid wildfire spread and associated smoke transport. The research will consolidate common characteristics between naturally occurring density currents and fire-generated warm plumes to apply the physical understanding of observed large-scale turbulent flows to the rapid growth of billows in fire smoke...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $180,000 to conduct research on wildfire-generated nanoparticles and their impact on human health and the environment. The research aims to: 1) determine how temperature, composition of combustible materials, and soil composition influence the metal chemistry of fine particulate matter; 2) identify the mineralogy, metal associations, and morphology of these particles; and 3) examine how...
This three-year, $357,785 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), will fund research studying aerosol transport, forcing, and climate feedbacks during the Common and Last Glacial eras. The grantee, Georgia Tech Research Corporation, will conduct collaborative research from September 2021 through August 2024 to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $126,709 to Colorado State University to conduct rapid assessment of air quality during wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires in Southern California. The goals are to sample and analyze air pollutants emitted from the fires, quantify the contribution of structure fires to hazardous air pollutants, and inform disaster response policy, ecosystem health assessments, and recovery...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $599,872 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050). The grant supports research to advance understanding of wildfire impacts on stratospheric chemistry through several linked components. MIT will study the chemical impacts of increased hydrogen bromide solubility in organic aerosols from wildfires and ozone production in stratospheric air from wildfire emissions. Researchers...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to gain predictive understanding of the physical processes driving rapid wildfire spread and associated smoke transport. The $108,519 award to the University of Oklahoma will support research to analyze non-modal instability and large-scale turbulent flows in fire-generated smoke plumes. This work will help guide firefighters to more safely and effectively suppress wildfires by improving...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $200,000 to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to conduct a RAPID research project assessing the physicochemical properties and environmental/health impacts of nanoparticles and fly ash emitted from wildfires in the Los Angeles area. The key objectives are to thoroughly characterize the complex physical and chemical properties of the wildfire-generated particulate...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research at Texas A&M University to examine the interactions between wildfire aerosols and the atmosphere, and their impacts on the Earth's radiative energy budget. The key objectives of the $199,770 project, which runs from March 2025 to February 2028, are to: (1) incorporate modeling of wildfire plume injection heights and absorption of dark brown carbon into a climate system...
This $300,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports research to quantify the health impacts of wildfire smoke exposure in Alaska. The key products and services to be delivered include: Assessing the correlation between particulate matter from wildfire smoke and associated health outcomes in Alaska, focusing on the 2.5 micron size fraction that has the largest documented impact on the human respiratory system. Collaborating with...
This $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into the sustained air quality impacts of the Marshall Fire in Boulder County, Colorado. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the University of Colorado will investigate indoor air pollution in homes surrounding the burn areas through continued measurements of volatile organic compounds and particulate matter. The grant will also support analysis of the...
