| Title: Influence of biological activity onatmospheric organic aerosols | |
| Abstract: Organic aerosols (OA) cause adverse effects on human health and play an important role in atmospheric chemistry. Further they have a serious impact on the Earth’s climate system. While previous studies have mainly focused on inorganic contents of atmospheric aerosols, OA that make up a large fraction (up to 90%) of fine aerosol mass have received a significant attention only in recent decades. However, the relative importance of biological emissions and secondary formation/transformations of OA are not fully understood yet. In this talk, I present the importance of biological emissions and subsequent secondary formation/transformations of OA in controlling the OA budget in the Earth’s atmosphere based on chemical compositions, molecular distributions and stable carbon (13C) and radiocarbon (14C) isotopic compositions of atmospheric aerosols. | |
| Biography: Chandra Mouli Pavuluri received PhD in Chemistry from Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, India in 2005. He worked as Postdoctoral Researcher at abroad (Korea, USA and Japan), before joining the Institute of Surface-Earth System Science, Tianjin University as Full Professor in 2016. He has more than 15 years’ experience in atmospheric chemistry and isotope chemistry and authored 29 research papers in reputed research journals apart from a review article, two monographs and many conference contributions. His research has been cited in more than 800 publications with an h-index 16. He is a member of several scientific organizations, and serving as an Editorial Board Member for "Scientific Reports" and as frequent referee for many other journals. | |
