Artificial cloud test confirms volcanic ash detection using infrared spectral imaging
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Ash generation and distribution from the April-May 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, Iceland
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)The 39-day long eruption at the summit of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in April–May 2010 was of modest size but ash was widely dispersed. By combining data from ground surveys and remote sensing we show that the erupted material ... -
Author Correction: Global and regional trends of atmospheric sulfur
(Journal article, 2020) -
DNA damage in circulating leukocytes measured with the comet assay may predict the risk of death
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The comet assay or single cell gel electrophoresis, is the most common method used to measure strand breaks and a variety of other DNA lesions in human populations. To estimate the risk of overall mortality, mortality by ... -
Environmental contaminants modulate the transcriptional activity of polar bear (Ursus maritimus) and human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alfa (PPARA/NR1C1) is a ligand activated nuclear receptor that is a key regulator of lipid metabolism in tissues with high fatty acid catabolism such as the liver. Here, we cloned ... -
Exploring online public survey lifestyle datasets with statistical analysis, machine learning and semantic ontology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Lifestyle diseases significantly contribute to the global health burden, with lifestyle factors playing a crucial role in the development of depression. The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified many determinants of depression. ... -
Frequency of extreme precipitation increases extensively with event rareness under global warming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The intensity of the heaviest extreme precipitation events is known to increase with global warming. How often such events occur in a warmer world is however less well established, and the combined effect of changes in ... -
Gasoline cars produce more carbonaceous particulate matter than modern filter-equipped diesel cars
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Global and regional trends of atmospheric sulfur
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The profound changes in global SO2 emissions over the last decades have affected atmospheric composition on a regional and global scale with large impact on air quality, atmospheric deposition and the radiative forcing of ... -
Mortality induced by PM2.5 exposure following the 1783 Laki eruption using reconstructed meteorological fields
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The 1783–1784 Laki eruption provides a natural experiment to evaluate the performance of chemistry-transport models in predicting the health impact of air particulate pollution. There are few existing daily meteorological ... -
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Chinese forest soils: profile composition, spatial variations and source apportionment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Resuspension and atmospheric transport of radionuclides due to wildfires near the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 2015: An impact assessment.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016) -
Uncovering transport, deposition and impact of radionuclides released after the early spring 2020 wildfires in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In the beginning of April 2020, large fires that started in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ) established after the Chernobyl accident in 1986 caused media and public concerns about the health impact from the resuspended ... -
Using a citizen science approach to assess nanoplastics pollution in remote high-altitude glaciers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2025)Nanoplastics are suspected to pollute every environment on Earth, including very remote areas reached via atmospheric transport. We approached the challenge of measuring environmental nanoplastics by combining high-sensitivity ...
