particles exist in many different shapes and morphologies. Together, these characteristics …

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 …

Roughly half of the human population lives near the coast, and coastal water pollution
(CWP) is widespread. Coastal waters along Tijuana, Mexico, and Imperial Beach (IB), USA …

Atmospheric aerosols, solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere, range in size
from 1 nm to> 100 μm and come from a wide variety of sources. 1 As such, aerosols have a …

Sea spray aerosol particles (SSA), formed through wave breaking at the ocean surface,
contribute to natural aerosol particle concentrations in remote regions of Earth's atmosphere …

Hygroscopicity is one of the most important physicochemical properties of aerosol particles
and also plays indispensable roles in many other scientific and technical fields. A myriad of …

Organic aerosol is ubiquitous in the atmosphere, and impacts climate through the scattering
and absorption of light and through the formation of nuclei for cloud droplets. These aerosol …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) caused by cyanobacteria in freshwater environments produce
toxins (eg, microcystin) that are harmful to human and animal health. HAB frequency and …

Mapping the mass concentration of near-surface atmospheric particulate matter (PM) using
satellite observations has become a popular research niche, leading to the development of …

Advances in analytical techniques and instrumentation have now established methods for
