Ongoing Projects

1.      NSF ITR/AP&IM 0205198: Development of a General Computational Framework for the Optimal Integration of Atmospheric Chemical Transport Models and Measurements Using Adjoints.  Collaborative project: University of Iowa (Gregory R. Carmichael, T. Chai), Virginia Tech (A. Sandu), California Institute of Technology (J.H. Seinfeld, T.L. Anderson), University of Illinois (T.C. Bond), Portland State University (D. Daescu), and National Center for Atmospheric Research (P.G.M. Hess).

The overall goal of the proposed project is to develop general computational tools, and associate software, for assimilation of atmospheric chemical an optical measurements into chemical transport models (CTMs). These tools are to be developed so that users need not be experts in adjoint modeling and optimization. 

2.  NSF Planning Grant: A Large-Scale Environmental Research and Analysis Network of the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB): Hydrology, Sediments, Nutrients, and Emerging Chemical Contaminants. PI- J. Schnoor.
 The specific objective of this proposal is to bring together key researchers and agencies to plan a large-scale environmental analysis network to analyze and (ultimately) improve water quality, economic activity, and sustainable practices in the Upper Mississippi River Basin.

            Relevant Proposals Under Evaluation
