Research Spotlight:
Tracking Toxic Pollutants to the Arctic
Work in the Selin group uses global modeling tools to explore how persistent organic pollutants (POPs) reach the Arctic. Once there, they pose risks to Arctic ecosystems and populations. During their transport, POPs can undergo chemical reactions, partitioning to atmospheric particles, and wet and dry deposition. Models are tools that help us constrain these processes, and identify the sources of Arctic pollution.
