The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded $202,000 in Project Grant funding (awarded July 15, 2026) under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support postdoctoral research on quantifying agricultural biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions through airborne measurements. The project will deploy a high-resolution proton-transfer-reaction long time-of-flight mass spectrometer during the NASA FARMFLUX aircraft campaign to measure speciated volatile organic compound mixing ratios and ecosystem-scale emission fluxes across major U.S. agricultural regions. The research will generate improved emission parameterizations linking BVOC emissions to crop type, phenology, and environmental conditions, and will quantify agricultural BVOC fluxes at spatial scales relevant to regional atmospheric modeling through airborne eddy covariance techniques. The deliverables from this award include a comprehensive dataset of atmospheric volatile organic compound measurements, enhanced understanding of agricultural contributions to ozone and secondary organic aerosol formation, and improved emission inventories and chemical transport model inputs that will facilitate advancement of air quality modeling capabilities. The project provides advanced scientific training and career development for a postdoctoral research scientist and is expected to conclude by June 30, 2028. No sub-awards are planned for this grant.Federal Grant Award Summary
