  • The changing role of dust and open fires PM 2.5 on Africa’s air quality and human health

    Open AccessAdwoa Aboagye-Okyere, Daphne Meidan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Aerosol pollution events pose serious threats to humans and ecosystems. Natural aerosols are much less studied than fossil fuel-sourced aerosols for their air quality impacts, even though ‘natural’ aerosols such as dust and wildfires are likely to have substantially changed because of anthropogenic activities. Using the Community Earth System Model version 2 and the Community Atmospheric Model version 6 atmospheric model, we simulated dust and op…

  • Evaluating the potential of iron-based interventions in methane reduction and climate mitigation

    Open AccessDaphne Meidan, Qinyi Li et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Keeping global surface temperatures below international climate targets will require substantial measures to control atmospheric CO 2 and CH 4 concentrations. Recent studies have focused on interventions to decrease CH 4 through enhanced atmospheric oxidation. Here for the first time using a set of models, we evaluate the effect of adding iron aerosols to the atmosphere to enhance molecular chlorine production, and thus enhance the atmospheric ox…

  • An aerosol odyssey

    Open AccessDouglas S Hamilton, Alex R Baker et al.ARTICLEElementa Science of the…2023

    This perspective piece on aerosol deposition to marine ecosystems and the related impacts on biogeochemical cycles forms part of a larger Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study status-of-the-science special edition. A large body of recent reviews has comprehensively covered different aspects of this topic. Here, we aim to take a fresh approach by reviewing recent research to identify potential foundations for future study. We have purposefully chos…

  • Rice residue burning trajectories in Eastern India

    Open AccessEmily Urban Cordeiro, Douglas S Hamilton et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    In 2019, the Government of India launched the National Clean Air Program to address the pervasive problem of poor air quality and the adverse effect on public health. Coordinated efforts to prevent agricultural burning of crop residues in Northwestern IGP (Indo-Gangetic Plain) have been implemented, but the practice is rapidly expanding into the populous Eastern IGP states, including Bihar, with uncertain consequences for regional air quality. Th…

  • Assessing long-distance atmospheric transport of soilborne plant pathogens

    Open AccessHayes Klemm Brodsky, Rocío Calderón et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Pathogenic fungi are a leading cause of crop disease and primarily spread through microscopic, durable spores adapted differentially for both persistence and dispersal via soil, animals, water, and/or the atmosphere. Computational Earth system models and air pollution models have been used to simulate atmospheric spore transport for aerial-dispersal-adapted (airborne) rust diseases, but the importance of atmospheric spore transport for soil-dispe…

  • Short-term impacts of 2017 western North American wildfires on meteorology, the atmosphere’s energy budget, and premature mortality

    Open AccessDiana N Bernstein, Douglas S Hamilton et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Western North American fires have been increasing in magnitude and severity over the last few decades. The complex coupling of fires with the atmospheric energy budget and meteorology creates short-term feedbacks on regional weather altering the amount of pollution to which Americans are exposed. Using a combination of model simulations and observations, this study shows that the severe fires in the summer of 2017 increased atmospheric aerosol co…
