Welcome to the Pratt Lab blog! Dr. Kerri Pratt is an assistant professor in the Departments of Chemistry and Earth & Environmental Sciences and faculty associate of the Program in the Environment at the University of Michigan. We study the chemical interactions of atmospheric trace gases, particles, clouds, and snow, with a focus on the Polar Regions and wintertime environments. Our interdisciplinary research has relevance to climate change, air quality, and human health. As an analytical chemistry lab, we primarily apply novel mass spectrometry techniques to our field research. We invite you to follow our adventures in (and outside!) the lab!

Summer Research Students Visit UMBS!

Summer REU Chemistry student Michael Weber, summer REU Physics student Katherine De Los Santos, and summer SROP student Clarence Pace III (Ault Lab) all had to opportunity to visit and tour the University of Michigan Biological Station and the PROPHET Tower last week! Guided by Prof. Kerri Pratt, Prof. Andy Ault, and graduate student Nate May, we saw how the researchers work and live at a field site. Aside from exploring the facilities, staying on-site in UMBS cabins, and meeting other summer researchers, we also had the opportunity to climb PROPHET tower and investigate how the labs collect atmospheric air samples!

Thanks to all who made the trip possible including Prof. Kerri Pratt, Prof. Andy Ault, Nate May, and Dr. Kirsti Ashworth, as well as Prof. Myron Campbell for suggesting the trip early on!
