Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Dalhousie University
$120,000.00
Atmospheric Science
FY 2018-19
Summary
Atmospheric particles can impact air quality and climate. This work will study how the sources of these particles, whether continental or marine, polluted or clean, affect the formation and intensity of coastal fog events. We will also study the chemical composition and sources of particles in the Arctic throughout the year. This is important as the Arctic summer sea ice melts and industrial activities increase, man-made sources will dominate over natural sources even in summer. This work will help us understand how particles affect air quality and climate and how their effects can be controlled to the benefit of society.
