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.

在这项由化学部实验物理化学计划和地球科学局大气科学部大气化学计划资助的奖项中，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，大小包括分子复合体、气溶胶和水-气界面。初步研究将集中在太阳辐射在这些物种中激发振动泛音的能力，这些振动泛音随后发生反应。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的更广泛影响外，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在多个学科之间接触到独特的跨学科研究体验。此外，Vaida教授将继续利用她的研究结果为她的各种教育推广活动提供信息。
