Interpretation of Ground-Based Measurements from the Surface Particulate Matter Network to Understand the Global Distribution of Fine Particulate Matter
(2020-08-07)Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5¬) is increasingly recognized as the leading environmental risk factor for global burden of disease. This thesis develops the Surface PARTiculate mAtter Network (SPARTAN) ... -
INTERPRETING SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING, AIRCRAFT AND GROUND-BASED OBSERVATIONS OF AEROSOL USING A CHEMICAL TRANSPORT MODEL
(2020-01-16)Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is the leading environmental risk factor for the global burden of disease. Black carbon (BC) and metal components are primarily responsible for the adverse health effects associated with ... -
TRENDS AND SOURCES OF ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS INFERRED FROM SURFACE OBSERVATIONS, SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING AND CHEMICAL TRANSPORT MODELING
(2020-01-21)Improving the understanding of sources and processes driving the variation of atmospheric aerosols is critical for quantifying their air quality and climate implications and for formulating regulatory policies. This thesis ... -
Understanding the global effect of secondary organic aerosol on size distributions in past and present climates
(2013-12-16)Recent research has shown that secondary organic aerosols (SOA) are major contributors to ultrafine particle growth to climatically relevant sizes, increasing global cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations within the ...
