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…

Identification of Individual Particle Chemical Composition, Morphology, and Ice Nucleation Properties in the Arctic

Lead Institution

University of Michigan

Principal Investigator

Kerri Pratt

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

The proposed project will address critical gaps in our understanding of the Arctic aerosol chemical composition, mixing state, sources, and ice nucleation properties through chemical imaging and ice…

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…
