The University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UCSD Scripps) received a $127,582 Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Climate and Atmospheric Research program. The two-year grant will fund a multi-city investigation into the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on urban greenhouse gas emissions, with the goal of enhancing scientific understanding of short and long-term climate fluctuations. As the primary awardee, UCSD Scripps will leverage its expertise in atmospheric and climate research to analyze emissions data from multiple urban locations and facilitate cooperation between academic and government institutions studying the relationship between public health events and climate indicators. The State of California Controllers Office will provide administrative oversight as UCSD Scripps' identified parent organization.
