Investigating the ice nucleation activity of organic aerosol
Emissions of aerosol particles and their precursors affect climate directly by scattering radiation and indirectly by altering cloud properties. Aerosol-induced ice nucleation includes several processes that impact cloud formation, lifetime, albedo, and precipitation efficiency. Ice nucleating …

The role of aqueous-phase oxidation in the formation of highly-oxidized organic aerosol
Atmospheric particulate matter (or "aerosol") is known to have important implications for climate change, air quality, and human health. Our ability to predict its formation and fate is hindered by uncertainties associated with one type in particular, organic aerosol (OA). Ambient OA measurements …

Secondary organic aerosol formation of relevance to the marine boundary layer
… and is hypothesized to lead to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation in coastal areas. The purpose of this dissertation is to test this hypothesis and quantify the SOA formation potentials of some representative biogenic and anthropogenic hydrocarbons when oxidized by Cl in laboratory chamber …

Surfactant Behavior in Atmospheric Aerosols
Atmospheric aerosols are very important in the Earth climate system due to their role in cloud formation and the global radiation budget. However, there are still many unanswered questions about how the composition of the aerosol varies and how this composition affects the climate system. While …
