Poster

In this study, we present results for immersion freezing experiments with complex biological aerosols derived from plants. The freezing properties of dried maple and spruce leaves were investigated at the AIDA (Aerosol Interaction and Dynamics in the Atmosphere) cloud chamber over a temperature range between 248 and 263 K. Additionally, we will present results for further plant based aerosol samples, such as dust suspended over rye and wheat fields during harvesting activities, and vegetable proteins.

The Aerosol Society recognises the importance of our diverse community and believe that to produce the best quality science we must encourage a proactive and inclusive approach to equality. This can be achieved by developing and retaining a diverse range of talented people to achieve their full potential free from discrimination. We acknowledge our role in engaging with the wider aerosol science community to develop a fair and friendly environment by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion for all, recognising that we come from varying backgrounds and experiences.
