CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) program and Climate Observations and Monitoring (COM) program are announcing 8 new 2-year projects in Fiscal Year 2021 that aim to leverage the natural experiment created by the significant reduction of emissions during the COVID-19 pandemic to understand how anthropogenic activities affect local and regional air quality. The competitively selected projects
CPO’s Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) program is announcing 10 new 3-year projects and 1 new 2-year project in Fiscal Year 2021 that aim to increase our understanding of emissions and chemical transformation in the urban atmosphere. The competitively selected projects total $5.48M1 in grants. Despite decades of decline in ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter
