In this award, funded by the Experimental Physical Chemistry Program of the Chemistry Division and the Atmospheric Chemistry Program of the Division of Atmospheric Sciences, Geosciences Directorate, Prof. Veronica Vaida of the University of Colorado and her postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate student colleagues will examine the chemical reactivity of atmospheric molecules in aqueous environments, ranging in size form molecular complexes, aerosols, and the water-air interface. Primary studies will focus on the ability of solar radiation to excite vibrational overtones in these species which subsequently react. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop better models for atmospheric photochemistry.Besides the broader impacts of this work on atmospheric science, the work will also impact new paradigms for renewable energy. In addition, the young researchers working on this research will be exposed to a unique, interdisciplinary research experience between a number of disciplines. In addition, Prof. Vaida will continue to use the results of her research to inform her diverse educational outreach activities.

在这个奖项中，由化学部实验物理化学计划和地球科学理事会大气科学部大气化学计划资助，科罗拉多大学的Veronica Vaida教授和她的博士后，研究生和本科生同事将研究大气分子在水环境中的化学反应性，范围包括分子复合物，气溶胶，和水-空气界面。 初步的研究将集中在太阳辐射激发这些物种随后发生反应的振动泛音的能力上。 这项研究的最终目标是开发更好的大气光化学模型。除了这项工作对大气科学产生更广泛的影响外，这项工作还将影响可再生能源的新范式。 此外，从事这项研究的年轻研究人员将接触到一些学科之间独特的跨学科研究经验。 此外，Vaida教授将继续利用她的研究成果为她的各种教育推广活动提供信息。
