Black carbon aerosols over Indian Ocean have unique source fingerprint and optical characteristics during monsoon season

February 2023
Krishnakant Budhavant, August Andersson, H. Holmstrand, Örjan Gustafsson
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
This peer-reviewed study examines black carbon aerosols over the Indian ocean during the less-studied monsoon season, finding that savanna-burning fires from Africa periodically account for half of BC loadings over the Indian Ocean.Read More →

Emissions of Carbon Dioxide in the Transportation Sector

December 2022
Congressional Budget Office
This report examines the trends and sources of CO2 emissions within the U.S. transportation sector, the largest emitter of CO2 in the country. It provides analyses on factors influencing these emissions and the policy and economic implications. Read More →

Nature Scientific Reports
Using atmospheric and satellite observations of methane, this study estimates poorly-measured methane emissions in China, and concludes that China's increased methane emissions are largely attributable to the growth in China's natural gas use.Read More →
