Xu Atmospheric Chemistry Lab: Wildfires
Research Focus Wildfires pose severe threats to urban air quality. As a result of ongoing climate change and historical fire suppression practices, wildfires in North America became more intense, frequent, and widespread in the 2000s. These trends have significantly impacted urban air quality in the last two decades, offsetting some of the improvements from anthropogenic […]
Jun Lab: Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs)
Research Focus 1: Mitigating Harmful Algal Blooms through Mineral-Hydrogel Composites Harmful algal blooms (HABs), which can produce cyanobacterial toxins, degrade water quality, threaten public health, harm ecosytems, and impact the economic output of industries such as fisheries and tourism. One major contribution to HABs is nutrient pollution from anthropogenic activities. To address nutrient pollution, we […]
Wang Lab: Climate Events and Human Health
Research Focus One of the research directions in my lab is about climate events and human health. Climate change is a big challenge to public health. How to incorporate climate factors into ongoing and future environmental epidemiological cohorts is a critical issue. For summer 2024, we would like to host undergraduate students to do literature review, interviewing […]
