If you're a scientist in an oceanography department, you're probably studying the ocean, right? Well, part of your job might be studying things like phytoplankton, the tiny oceanic powerhouses that play a crucial role in our planet's ecosystem. But how about clouds? Oh, and the properties of light, too? Wait a minute⦠Atmospheric scientist Kirk Knobelspiesse sat down with us to talk about how atmospheric aerosols interact with clouds, the intricate dance of light and its polarization, and what it's like to look up when everyone else is looking down. This episode was produced by Shane M Hanlon, and mixed by Collin Warren. Artwork by Karen Romano Young. Interviews conducted by Jason Rodriguez.
Weston and his dad look at the seventh planetary boundary, atmospheric aerosol loading. They discuss natural and human-made aerosols, and how some aerosols have a cooling effect. They also discuss some of the health risks associated with aerosols.
Dr. Hind A. Al-Abadleh is a University Research Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Wilfred Laurier University. She's also an award-winning researcher! Dr. Hind Al-Abadleh's most recent recognition was the inaugural Gilead Award for Excellence in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion from the Canadian Society for Chemistry. Her research looks at the unanswered questions around air quality, atmospheric chemistry and geochemistry. Her work teaches us the chemistry found in atmospheric aerosols and soil. Dr. Hind Al-Abadleh joins Earth Care to explain what an aerosol is, what human-caused aerosols are, and their effect on climate change.

This week on IAQ Radio we explore a cutting edge technology for evaluating microbial conditions of indoor environments. Joining us are two experts on aerosol physics and microbial assessment/identification along with the COO of DetectionTek Technology. We will discuss methods for measuring microbial conditions of indoor environments and the DetectionTek technology. Dr. Mark Hernandez received all his degrees, and did a post-doctoral tenure in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Colorado at Berkeley. After several years of civil engineering practice, he joined the University of Colorado faculty in 1996, where he is now a full professor. Dr. Hernandez is a registered professional engineer, and an expert on the quantitation and remediation of bioaerosols; a generation of his research lies in characterizing the biological aspects of air pollution - both indoors and out. Dr. Joe Boatman is Principle of Indoor and Outdoor Air Quality Consulting. He is an expert in Atmospheric Aerosols, Atmospheric Physics and Meteorology. His PhD is from the Univ. of Wyoming in Atmospheric Science. He has extensive experience in Atmospheric Aerosols, Atmospheric Physics and Meteorology Matthew Coghill currently serves as the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of DetectionTek Holdings LLC. Matthew led the development of the InstaScope real-time bioaerosol detection technology from its inception in 2012. His focus is translating the complex science and technology experience of his team into a product that is accessible and compelling to the non-technical consumer. Join us today at noon and LEARN MORE about microbial assessment technology and investigation of indoor environments on IAQ Radio!

Abstract: Atmospheric aerosols, including dust and clouds, play a significant but under appreciated role in our lives. For example, clouds reflect much of the incoming solar radiation thereby cooling the planet; while air molecules and atmospheric aerosols and may selectively scatter sunlight thereby leading to clear blue skies and beautiful red sunsets In this talk, Betterton provided an overview of the origins and nature of atmospheric aerosols and introduced some of the basic physics that explains their interesting properties and effects including "ship tracks," dust storms, visibility, health effects, and pollen. He also showcased some of the fascinating aerosol research being conducted by UA scientists. Presented November 2, 2012.
Dr. Eric A Betterton received The 2012 Professor Leon and Pauline Blitzer Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Physics and Related Sciences. Dr. Betterton received the award and presented "Earth-Dust, Cloud-Dust, Storm-Dust: The pervasive Nature of Atmospheric Aerosols in our Lives." The presentation and lecture was held on Tuesday, March 20, 2012. A reception followed in the Steward Observatory Lobby Sponsored by the Departments of Physics and Atmospheric Sciences. Dr. Betterton's research focuses on atmospheric and environmental chemistry. This work includes urban air quality, ground water remediation, frozen solution chemistry, water isotopic chemistry, cloud condensation nuclei, and microphysical and chemical properties of winter precipitation.
