Adverse and mitigating impacts of warming on tree carbon cycling
Recent decades have been characterized by increasing temperatures worldwide, resulting in an exponential climb in vapor pressure deficit (VPD). Heat and VPD has been identified as an increasingly important driver of plant functioning in terrestrial biomes ...
2023Rapid transformation of wildfire emissions to harmful background aerosol
Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis
Wildfires are a significant source of organic aerosol during summer, with major impacts on air quality and climate. However, studies in Europe suggest a surprisingly low (less than 10%) contribution of biomass burning organic aerosol to average summertime ...
Berlin2023Human personal air pollution clouds in a naturally ventilated office during the COVID-19 pandemic
Dusan Licina, Shen Yang, Akila Muthalagu
Personal cloud, termed as the difference in air pollutant concentrations between breathing zone and room sites, represents the bias in approximating personal inhalation exposure that is linked to accuracy of health risk assessment. This study performed a t ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Spatiotemporal modelling of extreme wildfires and severe thunderstorm environments
Environmental extreme events can have devastating impacts on society when they interact with vulnerable human and natural systems. Such events can result from natural causes, like phenomena related to the El Ni~no-Southern Oscillation or decadal/multi-dec ...
EPFL2022Australian Bushfires (2019-2020): Aerosol Optical Properties and Radiative Forcing
In the present study, we present the aerosol optical properties and radiative forcing (RF) of the tropospheric and stratospheric smoke layers, observed by the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) satellite, during the ...
