Applying a Phase-Separation Parameterization in Modeling Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation from Acid-Driven Reactive Uptake of Isoprene Epoxydiols under Humid Conditions Open
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from acid-driven reactive uptake of isoprene epoxydiols (IEPOX) contributes up to 40% of organic aerosol (OA) mass in fine particulate matter. Previous work showed that IEPOX substantially converts particula…

Aerosolized Cyanobacterial Harmful Algal Bloom Toxins: Microcystin Congeners Quantified in the Atmosphere Open
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cHABs) have the potential to adversely affect public health through the production of toxins such as microcystins, which consist of numerous molecularly distinct congeners. Microcystins have been observ…

Wildfires Increase Concentrations of Hazardous Air Pollutants in Downwind Communities Open
Due in part to climate change, wildfire activity is increasing, with the potential for greater public health impact from smoke in downwind communities. Studies examining the health effects of wildfire smoke have focused primarily on fine p…

Wildfires in the western United States are mobilizing PM<sub>2.5</sub>-associated nutrients and may be contributing to downwind cyanobacteria blooms Open
Wildfire activity is increasing in the continental U.S. and can be linked to climate change effects and nutrient emissions, with potential effects on downwind ecosystems.

Wildfire Smoke Influence on Cloud Water Chemical Composition at Whiteface Mountain, New York Open
Wildfires significantly impact air quality and climate, including through the production of aerosols that can nucleate cloud droplets and participate in aqueous‐phase reactions. Cloud water was collected during the summer months (June–Sept…

Lake Spray Aerosol Emissions Alter Nitrogen Partitioning in the Great Lakes Region Open
We develop an improved, wind‐driven lake spray aerosol (LSA) emissions parameterization that resolves particle size and size‐independent chemical composition, and investigate the impact of these emissions on regional chemistry in the Great…

Atmospheric Transport of North African Dust‐Bearing Supermicron Freshwater Diatoms to South America: Implications for Iron Transport to the Equatorial North Atlantic Ocean Open
The equatorial North Atlantic Ocean (NAO) is a nutrient‐limited ecosystem that relies on the deposition of long‐range transported iron (Fe)‐containing aerosols to stimulate primary productivity. Using microscopy, we characterized supermicr…
