Research area

Laboratory and field studies of aerosol physico-chemical properties relevant for warm and cold cloud formation (group page) 

  • Thermodynamic conditions of ice crystal nucleation onto aerosol particles. Ice nucleation pathways are investigated using a combination of continuous flow thermal gradient diffusion chambers (CFDCs) and drop freezing assays
  • Role of morphololgy vs. composition for ice nucleation, including chemical (trace gases, surface fucntionalisation and coatings), and morphoogical ageing effects
  • Spatio-temporal variability and prediction of INP concentrations from field observations
  • Influence of semivolatile species on activation of aerosol particles as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN)
