Simulations of aerosol and cloud properties using ECHAM and HAMBOX models. The goal is to develop smarter and more accurate climate models using artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Earth’s climate is changing rapidly these years. This change is overwhelmingly caused by human activities. With fossil fuel combustion, livestock and agriculture, we increase the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, especially carbon dioxide, leading to global warming.

Our atmosphere also contains numerous tiny (nanometer to micrometer-sized) particles suspended in the air. These aerosol particles have many different sources, both natural, for example, volcanoes, deserts, oceans and forests, and manmade, including traffic, industry, cooking, and many more. Aerosol particles are everywhere in the air that we breathe. There is no air, which is particle-free. Even in the cleanest, most remote areas of the Arctic, there may still be some 100 particles in every cubic centimeter of air. And in polluted megacities, or in the middle of a forest fire, this number may be millions.

These tiny aerosol particles are globally responsible for much of the health effects and mortality related to air pollution.

All these processes have profound consequences for the environment and wellbeing of our society. But there are still large gaps in our understanding of aerosols and their effects on the environment and climate. For example, with our current understanding, we can only explain less than a quarter of the organic aerosol mass which is formed in the atmosphere. Of the particles we observe, predicting their cloud forming abilities and climate effects are still highly uncertain after decades of research.

We are changing the composition of the atmosphere and this has profound consequences for the environment and our wellbeing. Tiny aerosol particles are globally responsible for most health effects and mortality related to air pollution. They also play a key role in regulating Earth’s climate via their critical influence on formation of clouds in the atmosphere. Every single cloud droplet has first formed on the surface of an aerosol particle. Together, aerosol particles and cloud droplets provide the reaction media for condensed phase chemistry in the atmosphere. Large gaps still exist in our understanding of atmospheric aerosols, in particular the chemical mechanisms leading to formation of organic aerosols. Furthermore, aerosol-cloud interactions continue to be the single largest source of uncertainty in global climate models. This prevents accurate predictions of future climate, and in particular the climate effects of human actions. Because of their relative dimensions, surfaces may play a crucial role in the formation, chemistry and climate effects of atmospheric aerosols. Aerosol surfaces are extremely difficult to observe. Currently, we therefore know next to nothing about their chemical compositions and impact on overall aerosol effects in the atmosphere. My previous work has shown that surfaces of cloud droplets can be highly chemically distinct from the droplet bulk, with implications for global climate predictions on the scale of all the CO2 greenhouse gasses. In this project, we will use powerful new spectroscopic techniques based on synchrotron radiation, to study surfaces directly at the molecular level. This is made possible by the recent opening of the world’s brightest synchrotron light source, MAXIV in Sweden, together with instrumentation developed by my research unit in our role as Finnish national coordinator of MAXIV activities. We will provide the first direct molecular level chemical characterization of a suite of atmospheric organic surfaces, using synchrotron based Xray photoelectron spectroscopy. We will use these surface specific compositions in combination with additional thermodynamic measurements to update state-of-the art aerosol thermodynamic models. Finally, we will study aerosol processes in controlled environmental chambers and use the models to identify distinct surface impacts. If successful, this will reshape our understanding of aerosol effects and affect every model used for air quality and climate predictions.

Air pollution from traffic has severe human health effects and therefore, it is targeted by environmental policies. To take into account human behavior in this process, we will develop a human component for an air quality model using agent-based simulations. Society is modeled as a complex system with humans represented as agents interacting to reveal new properties of the system as a whole. Agents learn and decide using artificial intelligence (AI). Specifically, we will adapt an agent-based traffic model for Helsinki city, quantify the effect of traffic-related incentives on air quality with direct feedbacks from human behavior, and use AI optimization to identify the most efficient incentives for air quality improvement. With these tools, we will launch a new era in air quality modeling and provide invaluable information for policy makers and city planners on ways to reduce traffic emissions and their health effects, with vast future potential for redeeming polluted mega-cities.

The increasing energy demand of data centres and related climate emissions can be indirectly attributed to the internet activity of individuals and corporations, the digitalization of society, the use of AI and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Internet use is now a significant source of carbon emissions. With the strong movement towards increased digitization, emissions will rise accordingly if left unchecked. We will highlight the energy demand of data centres and quantify the related emissions that can be attributed to the internet activity of individuals and corporations, digitalization of society, use of AI and the Internet of Things (IoT). The grant will enable a post-doc researcher to build an agent-based simulation tool, which can capture the complex nature of different data users and their digital activities powered by data centres. The tool will be used to establish conditions that lead to higher energy consumption and carbon emissions of data centres and enable a novel approach for testing new regulating incentives and their effectiveness on people’s behaviours. With this information, policies aiming to mitigate climate change may be targeted at different data-user types, or the data centres themselves.

Airborne nano-sized particles play key roles in Earth’s climate, air pollution, and transmission of communal diseases. With ultra-brilliant X-rays available at synchrotron radiation facilities, we have been able to directly see how atmospheric molecules, such as water, attach to the surfaces of nano-particles and change their properties. This knowledge is necessary to understand the effects of nano-particles in the atmosphere, but the experiments are too rare and costly to make timely progress on urgent societal challenges. We have recently developed new artificial intelligence methods that can predict the structures and resulting experimental signatures of atmospheric molecules, when they attach to a surface. In this project, we will adapt these methods to study atmospheric nano-particles and greatly amplify the utility of each rare synchrotron experiment. This will accelerate the exploration and impact of new scientific discoveries.
