The National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) awarded $202,000 on November 1, 2026, to support a two-year research project examining atmospheric oxidation dynamics in forested regions. The project, titled "Unified Satellite-Model Framework for Understanding Atmospheric Oxidation in Changing Forests," will deliver an integrated analytical framework combining satellite observations with atmospheric modeling to characterize hydroxyl radical (OH) concentrations and their variability across three globally distributed forest ecosystems: the Ozarks, Amazonia, and the Congo. The primary research outputs will address two core research questions: identifying the magnitude, seasonality, and spatial extent of regional OH anomalies and determining whether anthropogenic drivers amplify or suppress OH relative to baseline variability. The deliverables will include quantitative assessments of how specific biosphere disturbances—including deforestation, fires, agricultural activity, and heat waves—impact atmospheric OH concentrations. By establishing improved understanding of OH variability and its drivers, the project will advance air quality prediction and health protection capabilities. The award, managed by NSF's Office of Integrative Activities and scheduled for completion by October 31, 2028, does not include planned subawards. The research contributes to NSF's mission to expand fundamental knowledge of the integrated Earth system through basic research in atmospheric sciences.Federal Grant Award Summary
