Projects

Environmental Chemistry of Fe-containingMineral Dust Particles

Lead Institution
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Mary Gilles
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Iron is a key element for growth and metabolism in marine organisms. Solubilization of iron in mineral dust particles resulting from its atmospheric chemistry may substantially increase its…

Growth of newly formed particles and formation of cloud condensation nuclei

Lead Institution
Washington University in St. Louis
Principal Investigator
Jian Wang
Project type
FICUS ARM Research
New particle formation (NPF) in the atmosphere strongly influences the concentration of atmospheric aerosol particles, and therefore their impact on clouds and climate. Model simulations show that…

Chemical Imaging Analysis of Environmental Particles

Lead Institution
Purdue University
Principal Investigator
Alexander Laskin
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
This project focuses on laboratory studies that investigate the relationship between particle morphology, composition, formation, reactivity, and evaporation by developing novel methods for chemical…

Ice Nucleation Propensity of Biological Particles

Lead Institution
Xiamen University
Principal Investigator
Bingbing Wang
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The proposed study will investigate the ice nucleation propensity of atmospheric biological particles using a novel experimental platform developed in EMSL by our group. We will determine…

Responsive Metal Organic Framework Thin Films

Lead Institution
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Mary Gilles
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Advances in energy research require novel hybrid materials (materials containing both organic and inorganic components) with synthetic control over physical and chemical properties. Hybrid materials…

Atmospheric Chemistry of Biomass Burning Aerosol

Lead Institution
State University of New York at Stony Brook
Principal Investigator
Daniel Knopf
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Biomass burning aerosols (BBA) are one of the most ubiquitous organic aerosol types with a source strength on the same order of magnitude as fossil fuel combustion. BBA have significant effects on…

Aerosol properties and processes in remote marine environment

Lead Institution
Washington University in St. Louis
Principal Investigator
Jian Wang
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
With their extensive coverage, low clouds greatly impact global climate. Presently, low clouds are poorly represented in global climate models (GCMs), and the response of low clouds to changes in…

Sulfur Isotope Fractionation Analysis of Individual Atmospheric Particles

Lead Institution
Purdue University
Principal Investigator
Alexander Laskin
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
We propose a set of laboratory studies focused on understanding of chemical forms, oxidation states, and isotopic fractionation of sulfur in atmospherically aged particles collected in a number of…

Aerosol properties and processes in remote marine environment

Lead Institution
Washington University in St. Louis
Principal Investigator
Jian Wang
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
With their extensive coverage, marine low clouds greatly impact Earth's climate. The response of marine low clouds to changes in atmospheric aerosols remains a major source of uncertainty in…

Ice Nucleation Properties of Authentic Atmospheric Marine Particles

Lead Institution
Sonoma Technology
Principal Investigator
Ryan Moffet
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The effect that aerosol particles have on climate is highly uncertain and has garnered much attention in recent years. Specifically, the effect that aerosol particles have on cloud formation is one…

Chemistry of Aerosols in Mexico City: MILAGRO 2006 study.

Lead Institution
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Mary Gilles
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
The MILAGRO (Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observations) Campaign in Mexico City 2006 was a collaborative effort with the DOE Atmospheric Science Program, the NSF MIRAGE-Mex field…

GOAmazon: Atmospheric Aerosol Phase, Composition, and Water Vapor Uptake

Lead Institution
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Mary Gilles
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Atmopsheric particle phase, viscosity, and mixing state are inherently intertwined with one another. How particles change and evolve, particularly as a function of relative humidity is crucial for…

The Cloud Nucleating Properties of Aerosols at a Continental Site: CHAPS Study

Lead Institution
Shenyang Pharmaceutical University
Principal Investigator
