Coal fly ash: linking immersion freezing behavior and physicochemical particle properties [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 To date, only a few studies have investigated the potential of coal fly ash particles to trigger heterogeneous ice nucleation in cloud droplets. The presented measurements aim at expanding the sparse dataset and improving process understanding of how ...

Atmosphere, 2022 Geostationary satellites can retrieve the cloud droplet effective radius (re) but suffer biases from cloud inhomogeneities, internal retrieval nonlinearities, and 3-D scattering/shadowing from neighboring clouds, among others.

Secondary ice production – no evidence of efficient rime-splintering mechanism [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsMixed-phase clouds are essential for Earth’s weather and climate system. Ice multiplication via secondary ice production (SIP) is thought to be responsible for the observed strong increase in ice particle number concentration in mixed-phase clouds.

PlanetCARMA: A New Framework for Studying the Microphysics of Planetary Atmospheres
Atmosphere, 2020 The Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres (CARMA) has been updated to apply to atmospheres of the Solar System outside of Earth. CARMA, as its name suggests, is a coupled aerosol microphysics and radiative transfer model and includes the ...

The Myth of Supervenient Microphysicalism [PDF]
Philosophica: International Journal for the History of Philosophy, 2016 In this paper I focus on the analysis of the concept of the physical and its implications for the formulation of physicalism. Most of the paper is “negative,” insofar as it intends to show why the most accepted formulation of physicalism, the theory of the supervenience or complete determination of the empirical phenomena by the microphysical ...

Environmental Effects of Volcanic Volatile Fluxes From Subaerial Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 103-116., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Marine carbohydrates and other sea spray aerosol constituents across altitudes in the lower troposphere of Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsMarine combined carbohydrates in aerosol particles (CCHOaer) have the potential to influence cloud formation and properties, but it remains unclear to what extent they reach altitudes relevant for cloud processes.
