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!

New paper published inland sea spray and lake spray aerosol!

Congratulations to Pratt Lab PhD Dr. Nate May, as well as Pratt Lab PhD Dr. Matt Gunsch and PhD student Rachel Kirpes, for their paper published in Environmental Science & Technology Letter titled "Unexpected Contributions of Sea Spray and Lake Spray Aerosol to Inland Particulate Matter". We detected sea spray aerosol in northern Michigan from Hudson Bay, so don't always assume that Na+ is from dust in the summer!
