This project enables the acquisition of a customized Single Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) instrument coupled with a differential mobility analyzer (DMA) for simultaneous, size-resolved measurements of refractory black carbon (rBC) and iron oxide aerosols. This instrument system will be used in a wide range of atmospheric, snow, ice core, and lake sediment environmental research projects. The primary goal of this project is to develop reliable, relatively high-time-resolution, spatially distributed records of refractory black carbon concentration, flux, and particle mass distribution from lake sediment cores in the eastern Arctic and to use these and existing ice core, charcoal, and other paleoclimate records to develop a quantitative understanding of the history and climate drivers of rBC and biomass burning emissions.Research that will benefit from acquisition of the customized SP2 and DMA system includes: (1) NSF-funded paleo fire reconstructions in ice and lake sediment cores, (2) radiative forcing and melt changes resulting from deposition of light absorbing particles on seasonal snow covers and the modeling the effects on surface water resources, and (3) atmospheric research such as long-term atmospheric monitoring, characterization of aerosols from vehicle brake and tire wear, and characterization of modern biomass burning aerosols and entrained dust samples.The system will be housed in DRI’s Trace Chemistry/Ice Core Lab that has hosted a large number of post-doctoral researchers and high school, undergraduate, and graduate students over the past decade.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目支持购买定制的单粒子烟尘光度计 (SP2) 仪器和微分迁移率分析仪 (DMA)，以同时对难熔黑碳 (rBC) 和氧化铁气溶胶进行尺寸分辨测量。该仪器系统将广泛应用于大气、雪、冰芯和湖泊沉积物环境研究项目。该项目的主要目标是开发可靠的、相对高时间分辨率、空间分布的记录，记录来自北极东部湖泊沉积物核心的难熔黑碳浓度、通量和颗粒质量分布，并利用这些记录和现有的冰芯、木炭和其他古气候记录来定量了解黑碳和生物质燃烧排放的历史和气候驱动因素。 定制的 SP2 和 DMA 系统包括：(1) NSF 资助的冰和湖泊沉积物核心的古火重建，(2) 季节性积雪上吸光颗粒沉积引起的辐射强迫和融化变化，以及对地表水资源影响的建模，以及 (3) 大气研究，例如长期大气监测、车辆制动和轮胎磨损产生的气溶胶特征以及现代生物质燃烧特征 该系统将安装在 DRI 的微量化学/冰芯实验室内，该实验室在过去十年中接待了大量博士后研究人员以及高中生、本科生和研究生。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
