Title: Planes, Brains and Atmospheric Aerosols: on the hunt for elusive ice-nucleating particles in the Arctic.

Speaker: Sarah Barr, University of Leeds

Summary: What is a cloud? When does water freeze? What is dust? Join us for new insights in to questions you thought you knew the answers to! Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) play a crucial role in the climate system due to their influence on ice formation and the resulting effect on cloud radiative properties, cloud lifetime and precipitation. This is particularly important in high-latitude regions where climatically important mixed-phase clouds are common. This talk discussed the role of INPs and findings from recent field and lab studies, including on the FAAM research aircraft.

Biography: Sarah is a PhD student in the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science at the University of Leeds and the current chair of the RMetS Yorkshire Local Centre. Sarah completed an undergraduate degree in Environmental Science at Lancaster University, followed by a masters in Atmospheric and Climate Science at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Institute for Snow and Avalanches. Her masters research focussed on meteorology in the context of snow cover modelling and snow hydrology. She started her PhD in 2018 and now investigates ice formation in clouds, specifically in high-latitude regions, using a combination of fieldwork, lab work and modelling.
