Jeff Munroe to Lead 5-Year National Science Foundation Project
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a major five-year grant to a research
team led by Jeff Munroe, the Philip Battell Stewart and Sarah Frances Cowles Stewart
Professor of Geology. Six scientists representing five different institutions will
study how mineral dust from deserts in the southwestern U.S. is transported through
the atmosphere to locations hundreds of miles away and the impacts of the exported
dust on a variety of environmental and health issues.
