WACO, Texas (Jan. 7, 2021) – Baylor University researchers
Sascha Usenko, Ph.D., associate professors of environmental science, have been awarded an $890,000 grant by the
Department of Energy Atmospheric System Research (ASR) to examine the impact of urban pollution on thunderstorm activity. The grant,
TRACER-MAP: Mapping Aerosol Processes across Houston during convective cell events, enables researchers to conduct measurements in Houston in the summer of 2021 to tie into an overarching, multi-institution, multi-agency research project called Tracking Aerosol Convection Interactions Experiment (TRACER).
“We are excited that TRACER will bring together scientists from Department of Energy, NASA and numerous academic institutions to work together on atmospheric science and chemistry in Houston,” Sheesley said.
