Description
This fellowship opportunity supports research on the cycling of reactive nitrogen compounds between the atmosphere and ecosystems, a process critical to atmospheric chemistry and ecosystem health. The research aims to improve scientific understanding of the transport, transformation, and fate of reactive nitrogen through field studies and atmospheric chemistry modeling. The work is conducted at NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Applicants should be familiar with micrometeorological measurement techniques and bi-directional exchange models to effectively study atmosphere-biosphere nitrogen exchange. The research will generate valuable data for specific locations and help characterize nitrogen sources and sinks, contributing to environmental and atmospheric science.
