Dr. Kirsten Fossumgraduated from Colorado College, Colorado Springs, CO, USA, in 2014 with aB.A in Environmental Physics. Shereceived Ph.D. in Atmospheric Physics in 2018-19 for work on Marine aerosol effects on cloud condensation nuclei and ice nuclei from the National University of Ireland, Galway, later renamed University of Galway. Her present work, leading projects within the Centre for Climate and Air Pollution Studies (C-CAPS), is focused onaerosol physico-chemistry, formation, sources, climate and health impacts. She hasled many first-author scientific papers, co-authored many more, authored multiple progress reports for funders and project final reports, been involved or led several field-projects, and given presentations at over 10 international conferences, several national symposiums, and multiple talks with the Public - No restriction sector.She is a member of International Committee on Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols,The Aerosol Society,andthe international Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere (SOLAS) Project.blockquoteblockquoteResearch InterestsResearch is focussed onobservational research in atmospheric physics, namely aerosol-cloud dynamics, aerosol physico-chemical properties, impacts of aerosol on climate and air quality.Her specialty is the application of advanced scientific instrumentation for measuring aerosol physical and chemical properties, including the use ofaerosol mass spectrometry techniques.Kirstenswork is driven by a commitment to serve the Public - No restriction interest and protect our natural resources for future generations.ConferencesASC 2024, ACTRIS Science Conference, Poster Presentation, Rennes, France ICNAA 2023, International Conference on Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols, Oral Presentation, Brisbane, Australia SOLAS 2022, Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study, Oral Presentation, Cape Town, South Africa IAC 2022, International Aerosol Conference, 2 Oral amp; 1 Poster Presentations, Athens, Greece CATCH 2022, the Cryosphere and ATmospheric CHemistry Open Science Workshop, Oral Presentation, Online EAC 2020, European Aerosol Conference Oral Presentation, Aachen, Germany EAC 2019, European Aerosol Conference, Oral Presentation, Gothenburg, Sweden BACCHUS Project Meeting 2018, Awarded oral presentation, Zurich, Switzerland AGU Fall Meeting 2017, American Geophysical Union Poster Presentation, New Orleans, LA, USA ICNAA 2017, International Conference on Nucleation and Atmospheric Aerosols Poster Presentation, Helsinki, Finland EAC 2016, European Aerosol Conference, Poster Presentation, Tours, France IOP 2016, Institute of Physics, Poster Presentation, Belfast, Northern Ireland
