Aerosols of biological origin play a vital role in the Earth system, particularly in the
interactions between atmosphere, biosphere, climate, and public health. Airborne bacteria …

Sea spray aerosol particles (SSA), formed through wave breaking at the ocean surface,
contribute to natural aerosol particle concentrations in remote regions of Earth's atmosphere …

Anthropogenic pollution from marine microplastic particles is a growing concern, both as a
source of toxic compounds, and because they can transport pathogens and other pollutants …

Aerosolization of soil-dust and organic aggregates in sea spray facilitates the long-range
transport of bacteria, and likely viruses across the free atmosphere. Although long-distance …

Marine viruses are considered to be major ecological, evolutionary, and biogeochemical
drivers of the marine environment, responsible for nutrient recycling and determining …

Despite the huge extent of the ocean's surface, until now relatively little attention has been
paid to the sea surface microlayer (SML) as the ultimate interface where heat, momentum …

The North Atlantic Aerosols and Marine Ecosystems Study (NAAMES) is an interdisciplinary
investigation to improve understanding of Earth's ocean ecosystem-aerosol-cloud system …

Ocean-derived, airborne microbes play important roles in Earth's climate system and human
health, yet little is known about factors controlling their transfer from the ocean to the …

Coccolithophores occupy a special position within the marine phytoplankton because of
their production of intricate calcite scales, or coccoliths. Coccolithophores are major …

Surface ocean bubble-bursting generates aerosols composed of microscopic salt-water
droplets, enriched in marine organic matter. The organic fraction profoundly influences …
