Influence of continental ice retreat on future global climate
Evidence from observations indicates a net loss of global land-based ice and a rise of global sea level. Other than sea level rise, it is not clear how this loss of land-based...- publication PDF

Rethinking the global secondary organic aerosol (SOA) budget: stronger...
Recent laboratory studies suggest that secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation rates are higher than assumed in current models. There is also evidence that SOA removal by dry...- publication PDF
