The global expansion of harmful cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) poses an increasing
threat to public health. CyanoHABs are characterized by the production of toxic metabolites …

The atmosphere connects habitats across multiple spatial scales via airborne dispersal of
microbial cells, propagules and biomolecules. Atmospheric microorganisms have been …

Aerosols of biological origin play a vital role in the Earth system, particularly in the
interactions between atmosphere, biosphere, climate, and public health. Airborne bacteria …

Ice particle formation in tropospheric clouds significantly changes cloud radiative and
microphysical properties. Ice nucleation in the troposphere via homogeneous freezing …

Ice nucleating particles (INPs) are vital for ice initiation in, and precipitation from, mixed-
phase clouds. A source of INPs from oceans within sea spray aerosol (SSA) emissions has …

The amount of ice present in clouds can affect cloud lifetime, precipitation and radiative
properties,. The formation of ice in clouds is facilitated by the presence of airborne ice …

The oceans represent a significant global source of atmospheric aerosols. Sea spray
aerosol (SSA) particles comprise sea salts and organic species in varying proportions. In …

Tiny water drops produced from bubble bursting play a critical role in forming clouds,
scattering sunlight, and transporting pathogens from water to the air. Bubbles burst by …

Sea spray aerosol (SSA) is the largest natural source of aerosols in the troposphere, and
has profound potential significance for climate change, visibility, and human health. It has …

The Arctic region is a harbinger of global change and is warming at a rate higher than the
global average. While Arctic warming is driven by increases in anthropogenic greenhouse …
