    • Atmospheric transport is a major pathway of microplastics to remote regions 

      Evangeliou, Nikolaos; Grythe, Henrik; Klimont, Zbigniew; Heyes, Chris; Eckhardt, Sabine; Lopez-Aparicio, Susana; Stohl, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      In recent years, marine, freshwater and terrestrial pollution with microplastics has been discussed extensively, whereas atmospheric microplastic transport has been largely overlooked. Here, we present global simulations ...

    • Global predictions of primary soil salinization under changing climate in the 21st century 

      Hassani, Amirhossein; Azapagic, Adisa; Shokri, Nima (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Soil salinization has become one of the major environmental and socioeconomic issues globally and this is expected to be exacerbated further with projected climatic change. Determining how climate change influences the ...

    • Mercury isotope evidence for Arctic summertime re-emission of mercury from the cryosphere 

      Araujo, Beatriz Ferreira; Osterwalder, Stefan; Szponar, Natalie; Lee, Domenica; Petrova, Mariia V.; Pernov, Jakob Boyd; Ahmed, Shaddy; Heimbürger-Boavida, Lars-Eric; Laffont, Laure; Teisserenc, Roman; Tananaev, Nikita; Nordstrom, Claus; Magand, Olivier; Stupple, Geoff; Skov, Henrik; Steffen, Alexandra; Bergquist, Bridget; Pfaffhuber, Katrine Aspmo; Thomas, Jennie L.; Scheper, Simon; Petäjä, Tuukka; Dommergue, Aurélien; Sonke, Jeroen E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      During Arctic springtime, halogen radicals oxidize atmospheric elemental mercury (Hg0), which deposits to the cryosphere. This is followed by a summertime atmospheric Hg0 peak that is thought to result mostly from terrestrial ...

    • Occurrence and backtracking of microplastic mass loads including tire wear particles in northern Atlantic air 

      Gossmann, Isabel; Herzke, Dorte; Held, Andreas; Schulz, Janina; Nikiforov, Vladimir; Georgi, Christoph; Evangeliou, Nikolaos; Eckhardt, Sabine; Gerdts, Gunnar; Wurl, Oliver; Scholz-Böttcher, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Few studies report the occurrence of microplastics (MP), including tire wear particles (TWP) in the marine atmosphere, and little data is available regarding their size or sources. Here we present active air sampling devices ...

    • Recent methane surges reveal heightened emissions from tropical inundated areas 

      Lin, Xin; Peng, Shushi; Ciais, Philippe; Hauglustaine, Didier; Lan, Xin; Liu, Gang; Ramonet, Michel; Xi, Yi; Yin, Yi; Zhang, Zhen; Bösch, Hartmut; Bousquet, Philippe; Chevallier, Frédéric; Dong, Bogang; Gerlein-Safdi, Cynthia; Halder, Santanu; Parker, Robert J.; Poulter, Benjamin; Pu, Tianjiao; Remaud, Marine; Runge, Alexandra; Saunois, Marielle; Thompson, Rona Louise; Yoshida, Yukio; Zheng, Bo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Record breaking atmospheric methane growth rates were observed in 2020 and 2021 (15.2±0.5 and 17.8±0.5 parts per billion per year), the highest since the early 1980s. Here we use an ensemble of atmospheric inversions ...

    • Regionally sourced bioaerosols drive high-temperature ice nucleating particles in the Arctic 

      Freitas, Gabriel Pereira; Adachi, Kouji; Conen, Franz; Heslin-Rees, Dominic; Krejci, Radovan; Tobo, Yutaka; Yttri, Karl Espen; Zieger, Paul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Primary biological aerosol particles (PBAP) play an important role in the climate system, facilitating the formation of ice within clouds, consequently PBAP may be important in understanding the rapidly changing Arctic. ...

    • Revised historical Northern Hemisphere black carbon emissions based on inverse modeling of ice core records 

      Eckhardt, Sabine; Pisso, Ignacio; Evangeliou, Nikolaos; Zwaaftink, Christine Groot; Plach, Andreas; McConnell, Joseph R.; Sigl, Michael; Ruppel, Meri; Zdanowicz, Christian; Lim, Saehee; Chellman, Nathan J; Opel, Thomas; Meyer, Hanno; Steffensen, Jørgen Peder; Schwikowski, Margit; Stohl, Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Black carbon emitted by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass has a net warming effect in the atmosphere and reduces the albedo when deposited on ice and snow; accurate knowledge of past emissions is essential ...

    • The sources of atmospheric black carbon at a European gateway to the Arctic 

      Winiger, Patrik; Andersson, A.; Eckhardt, Sabine; Stohl, Andreas; Gustafsson, Örjan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)

    • Top–down assessment of the Asian carbon budget since the mid 1990s. 

      Thompson, Rona Louise; Patra, P.K.; Chevallier, F; Maksyutov, S.; Law, R.M.; Ziehn, T.; van der Laan-Luijkx, I.T.; Peters, W; Ganshin, A.; Zhuravlev, R.; Maki, T.; Nakamura, T.; Shirai, T.; Ishizawa, M.; Saeki, T; Machida, T.; Poulter, B.; Canadell, J.G.; Ciais, P.

    • The turbulent future brings a breath of fresh air 

      Stjern, Camilla Weum; Hodnebrog, Øivind; Myhre, Gunnar; Pisso, Ignacio (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Ventilation of health hazardous aerosol pollution within the planetary boundary layer (PBL) – the lowest layer of the atmosphere – is dependent upon turbulent mixing, which again is closely linked to the height of the PBL. ...
