This research, "Collaborative Project: Contributions of Organic Compounds to the Growth of Freshly Nucleated Atmospheric Nanoparticles" is made possible by a $485,434 grant through the Department of Energy (Award # DE-S00011780). By synthesizing research data fromnew laboratory experiments as well past observations, the research teamwill establish an understanding of the mechanisms of nanoparticle grow th due to organic corrpounds and a seni-enpirical representation for size-resolved grow th rates. These results will then be integrated to regional and climate models to assess the role of new particle formation on clinate. Over the next three years, the college will receive $79,705 to support Dr. Hanson's research activities. Additionally, this project will provide hands on research training for an undergraduate student.

Back to top New NSF Award for Collaborative Space Research SUBMITTED BY ERICA SWIFT, DIRECTOR, SPONSORED PROGRAMS, INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT The National Science Foundation recently awarded Dr. Mark Engebretson, Professor Ereritus of Physics, and his team $396,635 over three years to support the project, "Collaborative Research: Studies of ULF Waves Associated with Solar Wind Coupling to the Magnetosphere and lonosphere." (NSF ID: PLR-1341493) In collaboration with Dr. Marc Lessard at the University of New Hampshire, Dr. Engebretson will continue to operate and analyze data fromfour grounc-based induction magnetometers located in Antarctica (including South Pole Station) and two in the Arctic. The stations in this project are key links in arrays of grounc-based ionospheric and rmragnetospheric observatories in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions. These observatories, together with both low-altitude and high-altitude NASA satellites, provide the data with which Engebretson, Lessard, and members of their teamwork to characterize and understand the physical processes occurring in Earth's space environment. The study of the Earth's space environment has become increasingly innportant to our technologically—driven society. This research airs to better understand geospace phenomena, including solar w ind4ragnetosphere interactions and geornagnetic storms and substorms, in an effort to improve the capability to forecast and characterize nejor space weather events. Such events can cause dropouts in electronic communications, degrade the accuracy of GPS systems, tenporarily or permanently disable satellites, and even cause dannage to the electrical power grid. This project will support research training for up to six Augsburg undergraduate students over the project period. Show less

RU: Understanding and Predicting Eyewitness Identification Errors: Studies Using a Unique Set of Materials fromActual Lineups." (NSF ID: SES -1420135). Total funding for the project is $397,600. The research will be conducted over the next three years in collaboration with Dr. Gary Wells at lowa State University. Augsburg College will receive $134,219 in support of faculty-student research. To better understand eyewitness identification errors, the research teamwill conduct a series of laboratory experiments using eyewitness data sets and lineup audio files from 855 real police investigations. These experiments will test theoretical ideas that have direct inplications for police practice regarding the prediction of eyewitness identification decisions fromlineup bias, eyewitness verbalizations during the lineup, witness confidence statements, and witness decision latency. Differences between double-blind and single-blind lineups will be exarrined for evidence of suggestive lineup adrvinistrator behaviors and influence on eyewitness decisions. The investigators will also examine the role of contextual factors on how people evaluate witness certainty staternents and how contextual factors right affect people's perceptions of lineup adrrinistrator influence. The results of this research will help address questions about external generalization of lab-based theory and serve as a model for collecting and analyzing materials and data from actual lineups in the field. Additionally, this project will provide hands-on research experience for up to 18 Augsburg undergraduate students. If you have any questions about this research or would like to learn more, please contact Nancy Steblay at steblay@augsburg.edu.
