If you're at #AGU21 virtually (or are still in New Orleans like me), come catch my talk this afternoon! I'll be talking about aerosol impacts on convective transport & precipitation scavenging.

We look forward to chatting with future students and answering questions tomorrow! Please RSVP here: forms.gle/bpEaXiLMR7tuM4…

Watch the wave emanating from the #HungaTongaHungaHaapai eruption initiate new convection #volcanology #meteorology

We are so proud of Prof. Sue van den Heever, the first woman to lead a NASA Earth Venture Mission! Here, she encourages others to follow their passions and not give in to self-doubt. "Imposter syndrome always tries to make us not trust ourselves or downplay who we are. Trust yourself."

Loveland High School students experienced atmospheric science in action March 28, thanks to a visit from some of our graduate students. Students participated in a weather balloon launch and drone demonstration. Loveland HS engr.source.colostate.edu/csu-atmospheri…

For all the love that Paris is rightly getting for the pandemic transition away from cars, I am shocked that we are seeing so little about what is happening in Mexico City So here is a thread about the best transition in North America

Great first day of BACS drone and radiosonde operations! It was cold cold cold, but we got to see and make measurements of two cold pools. (Thank you to @Marina_nieto91 for getting this picture of me flying the drone with a KH wave !!!)

A couple of pics from yesterday, collecting cold pool (bio)aerosol samples for #BACS CSU Atmos Sci #mammatus #clouds #lightning #bioaerosols

So excited for this fellowship and the opportunity to study how changes to the land surface affect clouds and rain in the Maritime Continent, with my advisor Sue van den Heever!

Regular reminder that Philippine forest cover went down from 50% to 10% almost entirely within the Marcos Sr. dictatorship.

I’m defending my thesis on Wednesday!

☑️ Defended my MS thesis!

After a winter slumber, Hector the Convector is BACK! Bubbly and beautiful as ever.

In our latest paper, Sue van den Heever and I show that localized emission sources like wildfires and cities can drive an “aerosol breeze” that increases clouds and rainfall. Read more at Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146… !

Study by Gabrielle Leung and Sue van den Heever shows that gradients in #aerosol #emissions drive thermodynamic circulations called “aerosol breezes” that may enhance #precipitation and #cloudiness in the cleaner regions of the aerosol gradient. CSU Atmos Sci nature.com/articles/s4146…

Clouds that hang over lost forests in Southeast Asia provide clues to our changing climate, Colorado State University researchers found. Gabrielle Leung #AtmosphericSciences #AGU23 eos.org/articles/shall…
