Condensed Matter and Surfaces Encountered in the Atmospheric Environment The …

In the past 40 years, atmospheric chemists have come to realize that halogens exert a
powerful influence on the chemical composition of the troposphere and through that …

Motivated by the need to predict how the Arctic atmosphere will change in a warming world,
this article summarizes recent advances made by the research consortium NETCARE …

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 …

Snow in the environment acts as a host to rich chemistry and provides a matrix for physical
exchange of contaminants within the ecosystem. The goal of this review is to summarise the …

The role of ice in the formation of chemically active halogens in the environment requires a
full understanding because of its role in atmospheric chemistry, including controlling the …

Polar ice sheets hold a significant pool of the world's carbon reserve and are an integral
component of the global carbon cycle. Yet, organic carbon composition and cycling in these …

This study reports molecular-level characterization of brown carbon (BrC) attributed to water-
soluble organic carbon in six snowpack samples collected from northern Xinjiang, China …

The cryosphere is an important component of global organic contaminant cycles. Snow is an
efficient scavenger of atmospheric organic pollutants while a seasonal snowpack, sea ice …

Multiphase chemistry occurs between chemicals in different atmospheric phases, typically
involving gas–solid and gas–liquid interactions. The importance of atmospheric multiphase …
