We will purchase and use a PICARRO G2401-m CO2/CH4/CO/H2O analyzer, to enhance multiple projects at Caltech aimed at improving climate change predictions and developing geoengineering technologies to mitigate impacts. Specifically, the instrument would facilitate investigation of the climatic impacts of shipping vessel emissions, quantification of fugitive CH4 emissions in residential environments, and development of reactors to sequester CO2 in the ocean.
