Had a casual chat with Virginia Tech Research about #Microplastic #Nanoplastic #PlasticPollution #PlasticWaste #plastics

Nice visualization to understand how tiny airborne #microplastics and #nanoplastics , and in general atmospheric #aerosols , really are.

Call for abstracts for AGU (American Geophysical Union) 2024! A037 is calling for abstracts detailing advancements in the areas of aquatic aerosols spanning scales. Convened by yours truly and other greats in the field, please submit if this sounds of interest to you!

Excited to announce our invited speakers Kimberly Prather, Ph.D. & Hannah Horowitz, PhD for our #AGU24 session on Aquatic Aerosols! Submit your abstract and join us this December in Washington D.C. agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/prel…

Announcing two exciting research initiatives in my lab: 1. Analyzing the evolution of #dust mineralogy in the atmosphere using NASA #EMIT data 2. Partnering with Natural Resources Conservation Service to model #N2O emissions from ag #soil in the US #climate #agriculture #air

Saharan dust clouds are a regular occurrence affecting four continents. Our recent work sheds light on hidden atmospheric structures shaping the largest, "Godzilla" dust plume of 2020. Read more: authors.elsevier.com/c/1jHkn4pTZHrm…

In our recent #OpenAccess paper in Scientific Reports we highlighted the US counties most vulnerable to #Cannabis cross-pollination #hemp #pollen

Congratulations to my PhD student Salahuddin Setu of Virginia Tech Civil and Environmental Engineering who received the BEST poster award at the 2024 #CMASConference for his work on Airborne Tire Wear Particles #Microplastics

If you decide to read only one article on #Microplastics and #Nanoplastics it has to be this!

Great news for #PlasticPollution research Virginia Tech Congratulations Austin D. Gray, Ph.D. !! 🎉

New Paper: We analyzed 14 years of trans-Atlantic #dust plume data and found that African dust reaching the Amazon in winter originates from more diverse sources and offers better conditions for microorganism survival than plumes reaching the Caribbean in summer.

Hesham Rakha & Hosein Foroutan are part of a study that developed a model to measure emissions of electric vehicles. "The model we developed proved that battery electric vehicles, in the right conditions, have more environmental advantages," said Rakha. news.vt.edu/articles/2025/…

Zero emissions? Not quite. 🚗💨 Electric vehicles don’t have tailpipes, but they still produce pollution in unexpected ways. #VirginiaTech researchers are exploring the full picture of vehicle emissions. Learn more about their findings ⬇️ brnw.ch/21wQL11
