Projects

Elucidating the age and mixing state of summertime African dust transported across the tropical Atlantic Marine Boundary Layer

Lead Institution

University of Miami

Principal Investigator

Cassandra Gaston

Project type

Limited Scope

Every summer, African dust is transported across the North Atlantic Basin causing widespread impacts on aerosol-radiation and aerosol-cloud interactions in addition to depositing critical nutrients…

Using Multi-Modal Micro-Spectroscopy Techniques to Determine the Impact of Aerosolized Organic Material on Biogeochemical Cycles of Fe and P in the Amazon Basin

Lead Institution

University of Miami

Principal Investigator

Cassandra Gaston

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Aerosols transported from Africa are thought to critically impact the biogeochemical cycling of iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) in the Amazon and relieve nutrient limitations in this ecosystem…

Analysis of biogeochemical nutrient delivery to the Amazon and Atlantic Ocean from transported smoke and dust

Lead Institution

University of Miami

Principal Investigator

Cassandra Gaston

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Atmospheric particles (e.g., aerosols) deposit key nutrients, such as iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P), to the open ocean and the Amazon Rainforest. These nutrients are important for biological functions…
