Unraveling the Aerosol-associated Reactive Oxygen Species Chemistry: Insights into Public Health and Aerosol-Cloud Interactions

ENR-223 14 College Farm Rd, New Brunswick, NJ, United States

Speaker: Jiaqi Shen, Rutgers University.  Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a class of highly reactive oxygen-bearing molecules including the hydroxyl radical (OH), superoxide radical (O2.-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). When aerosols encounter water, either in clouds or in lungs, they generate ROS in quantities that impact cloud chemistry and potentially underly aerosol-induced health impacts. Because ROS generation may be a ...

Dynamics of Multi‐component Fluids near Interfaces

Fiber Optic Materials Research Building–Room EHA 101 Bevier Road, Piscataway, NJ, United States

Speaker: Sepideh Razavi, University of Oklahoma. Abstract: Presence of complex solutions composed of fluids, ions, surfactant molecules, and colloidal particles is commonplace in problems relevant to materials discovery and manufacturing. Such multicomponent fluidic systems are often confined by interfaces in processes associated with the water-energy nexus as well, for example, in membrane separations and subsurface energy recovery and storage. To ...

Asymmetric and Non-Monotonic Response of the Climate System to Idealized CO2 Forcing

ENR-223 14 College Farm Rd, New Brunswick, NJ, United States

Speaker: Ivan Mitevski, Princeton University.  Abstract: Many studies commonly assume linearity when investigating the climate system's response to CO2 perturbations in Earth System Models. The primary objective of this work is to thoroughly analyze this linearity assumption in a hierarchy of modeling experiments with CO2 concentrations decreasing to 1/8th and increasing up to 8 times the pre-industrial values. We explore ...
