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!

Pratt Lab members at the American Geophysical Union meeting

Prof. Kerri Pratt, post-doc Dr. Peter Peterson, and Ph.D. student Matt Gunsch presented Arctic research results at the 2015 American Geophysical Union meeting held in San Francisco from Dec. 14-18. It was a productive, Arctic-focused meeting for us!

Prof. Pratt presented a poster titled "Single-Particle Chemical Composition in the Arctic during the Winter-Spring Transition" highlighting work by Ph.D. student Rachel Kirpes. She also gave an invited talk titled "Arctic Ozone and Bromine Chemistry: Relationships with Snow Composition and Open Lead Presence", based on work by post-doc Peter Peterson and undergraduate student Mark Hartwig through our NASA grant.

Post-doc Dr. Peter Peterson presented a poster titled "Characterizing Variability in the Spatial Distribution of Bromine Explosion Events in the Vicinity of Barrow, Alaska" based on his work through our NASA grant.

Ph.D. student Matt Gunsch presented a poster titled "Size-Resolved Chemical Analysis of Individual Atmospheric Aerosols near Barrow, Alaska" based on his work through our NOAA grant.
