Pratt Lab PhD student Nate May giving a talk about incorporating environmental chemistry research into the high school curriculum |
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 at the American Chemical Society meeting!
Pratt Lab PhD student Nate May gave two talks about our environmental chemistry education work at the American Chemical Society meeting. Undergraduate students Alexa Watson and Guy Burke gave posters about their analytical chemistry undergraduate research. Prof. Pratt received the 2018 James J. Morgan Environmental Science & Technology Early Career Award and gave an associated invited lecture!

Paper published on Canadian wildfire smoke and biogenic SOA impacting northern Michigan!
Congratulations to Pratt Lab PhD Dr. Matt Gunsch and PhD student Nate May on their paper published in Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics titled "Ubiquitous influence of wildfire emissions and secondary organic aerosol on summertime atmospheric aerosol in the forested Great Lakes region". We observed long-transported Canadian wildfire smoke particles with thick SOA coatings at the University of Michigan Biological Station in July 2014!
