November 1, 2022
An international team of researchers led by chemists in the Bertram Research Group has found that particles with two phases can form when different types of SOA mix. This finding could help improve current models that predict SOA climate and health effects (From UBC Science). The original paper was published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.

Featured our research in the Arctic on the CGSS Amundsen.
September 2015
A team of international researchers including members of the Bertram Group receive press coverage for their Nature paper that showed that phytoplankton waste in ocean spray could trigger ice formation in clouds. News articles that picked up the story include: BBC, Sciencedaily, Myscience, Europa, EurekAlert!, and Stonybrook University News.

Researchers have provided visual evidence that atmospheric particles separate into distinct chemical compositions during their life cycle. Observations could have important implications for modeling global climate change and predicting air quality conditions (From ScienceDaily). The original paper was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
