The Effects of Ice Nucleation Proteins on Arctic Clouds (ICARUS)

The Effects of Ice Nucleation Proteins on Arctic Clouds (ICARUS)
The influence of aerosols on cloud properties is one the least understood drivers of climate change in the Arctic. During the ICARUS project, I and my co-workers will investigate microbial aerosols that are highly efficient in forming cloud ice. The data that we will generate will be included in climate models to help us understand how biological aerosols impact the Arctic climate. The grant will fund the development of an ice-nucleation laboratory, one PhD student and two postdocs.
