Researcher reactive nitrogen chemistry

Within a new international collaborative research project on understanding the interactions between atmospheric aerosol and clouds (CAINA), Pascale will work on the measurement and modeling of nitrate aerosol formation, transformation, transport, and deposition, including the study of organonitrate and brown carbon (BrC) formation, and the role of (organo)nitrates in cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation. During the research Pascale will expand her expertise in field measurements of gas and aerosol using the Metrohm Monitor for Aerosols and Gases in the Atmosphere (MARGA) and gas-phase NOx and NOy measurements. The work will incorporate field work as well as laboratory chamber experiments at the AIDA chamber in Germany.
