Health co-benefits of achieving sustainable net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in California
The achievement of net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2100 is required to limit global temperature rise below 2 °C above preindustrial levels. Earlier accomplishments of net-zero GHG emissions in devel...

Ice nucleation by aerosols from anthropogenic pollution
The formation of ice particles in the atmosphere strongly affects cloud properties and the climate. While mineral dust is known to be an effective ice nucleating particle, the role of aerosols from anthropogen...
