Lynn Mazzoleni

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

We propose an integrated experimental and modeling study of biomass burning aerosol rich in spherical particles - also known as "tar balls" - using the multi-modal micro-spectroscopy,…

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed by multiphase chemical reactions in the atmosphere greatly contribute to fine particulate matter and organic aerosols (OA). Despite mounting evidence, aqueous-…

The effect of acyclic terpene emissions on secondary organic aerosol properties

Lead Institution

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Acyclic terpenes are commonly emitted by plants, and have frequently been linked to plant stress volatile emissions. These compounds are more reactive than the more commonly studied cyclic terpenes…
