Recent advances in the molecular characterization of atmospheric organic aerosols by high-
resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) have significantly enhanced our understanding of …

Extreme wildfire events and cyclones are on the rise across tropical regions in response to
climate change. Despite assumptions about their impact on phytoplankton through nutrient …

Peatlands in the northern hemisphere are a major carbon storage but face an increased risk
of wildfires due to climate change leading to large-scale smoldering fires in boreal and Arctic …

A quantitative methodology using high resolution mass spectrometry was developed for the
identification of organic compounds derived from wildfires in surface water samples. The …

In recent years, ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography Fourier transform mass
spectrometry (LC/FT-MS) based non-targeted screening (NTS) methods have become …

Wildfires emit solid-state strongly absorptive brown carbon (solid S-BrC, commonly known
as tar ball), critical to Earth's radiation budget and climate, but their highly variable light …

We investigated the light-absorption properties of brown carbon (BrC) as part of the Georgia
Wildland-Fire Simulation Experiment. We constructed fuel beds representative of three …

Current practices involve wrapping organic aerosol (OA) filter samples with aluminum foil
and storing in a freezer to avoid sample degradation prior to analysis. However, there is a …

Molecular functional groups, such as organosulfates (CHOS) and organonitrates (CHNO)
are important tracers for field observations of secondary organic aerosols (SOA). While …

Atmospheric particles play critical roles in climate. However, significant knowledge gaps
remain regarding the vertically resolved organic molecular-level composition of atmospheric …
