October 5, 2022: I provided an “expert opinion” for a Nature research briefing about a really interesting paper that finds “invisible” ship tracks identified by tracking ship emissions differ systematically from visible ship tracks that have been manually detected from satellite images.
July 13, 2022: Politico wrote about our paper on the feasibility of marine cloud brightening in their “Digital Future Daily” newsletter.
June 4, 2022: I was interviewed on the Reviewer 2 Does Geoengineering podcast about marine cloud brightening research and aerosol-cloud interactions more generally
May 13, 2022: My paper laying out a research “roadmap” for marine cloud brightening was featured in CIRES’ magazine, Spheres
January 20, 2022: NOAA Research and Climate.gov featured my paper recommending a system of “checkpoints” and “exit ramps” to guide physical science research into marine cloud brightening
July 21, 2021: The US Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Management (ARM) News & Events team covered my work using field observations, regional climate models, and high-resolution cloud simulations to study how smoke from agricultural fires in southern Africa affects cloud transitions over the southeast Atlantic Ocean
August 24, 2020: I spoke with Forbes’ Allison Gasparini about my work on air pollution changes (or the lack thereof) from China’s early COVID-19 shutdowns
August 22, 2020: The South China Morning Post reported on my findings that the February 2020 COVID-19 shutdowns in China led to large decreases in nitrogen dioxide pollution but not a similarly large decrease in aerosol concentrations
August 20, 2020: UW issued a press release about my paper in Geophysical Research Letters that explored why certain air pollutants like nitrogen dioxide fell by unprecedented levels during China’s February 2020 COVID-19 shutdowns but aerosol levels and cloud properties remained largely unchanged
June 12, 2020: I spoke with Harmon Leon at Mel Magazine about what implications the COVID-19 response has for dealing with air pollution and climate change, the prospect of geoengineering, and the importance of respecting science when making policy
June 9, 2020: A figure based on data from my paper on cloud brightening due to international shipping was chosen as the NASA Earth Observatory Image of the Day
June 8, 2020: I was interviewed by Gloria Dickie at Mongabay for a story about the climate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and spoke about my paper quantifying cloud brightening from international shipping and in-progress work trying to detect any cloud changes from shutdown-related air pollution declines in China
April 21, 2020: I spoke with Matt Simon at Wired about how air pollution can cause a cooling effect by changing cloud properties, my work quantifying this cloud brightening within a shipping corridor in the southeast Atlantic Ocean, and the potential climate implications of changing air pollution levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic
March 25, 2020: Bjorn Stevens summarized my paper on cloud brightening from international shipping in Eos, highlighting our finding that increasing the number of droplets within a cloud can lead to a decrease in the total amount of cloud water
March 24, 2020: AGU and UW issued a joint press release about my paper in AGU Advances that identified substantial cloud brightening within a heavily trafficked shipping corridor in the southeast Atlantic Ocean
