Cyanobacterial Aerosolization Dynamics in the Chowan River, North Carolina
2020 Summer field campaign, aimed at characterizing the aerosolization of microcystin and cyanobacterial DNA in the airshed of the Chowan River-Albemarle Sound, a eutrophic estuary in eastern North Carolina.
Secondary Aerosol Formation from Cyanobacterial-Derived Volatile Organic Compounds
Experimental and environmental work exploring secondary organic aerosol formation from geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol, two volatile metabolites produced by bloom-forming cyanobacteria.
Aerosol Emissions from Cyanobacterial Blooms in the Bay Delta, CA
Understand cyanotoxin and other cyanobacterial metabolite emissions and their atmospheric transformations in the airshed of residential sites in the San Francisco-Bay Delta watershed.
Cyanobacteria and Air Quality Community Collaborative in eastern North Carolina
With community scientists from the Chowan Edenton Environmental Group in Edenton, NC, we are installing community-based PurpleAir Sensors across eastern NC to investigate links between water and air quality in systemically-excluded, rural communities.
