Congrats to PhD students Alessia Colussi (VDB/Young Groups) and Daniel Persaud (Young Group) on their new publication in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, where they demonstrate the utility of affordable off-grid precipitation samplers for long-term collection of atmospheric pollutants deposited through wet and dry deposition processes. Many students have contributed to this project over the years, ranging from undergraduates through postdocs. We are highly grateful for the support to develop these new tools from a wide variety of funding sources and the input and ongoing support of our academic and government collaborators where these are being put to use.

The Faculty of Science at York University helped us to make a video abstract for this work, drawing off photos and datasets collected over several years, as we progressively validated these new research tools. You can check it out on YouTube.
