Biography

Sarah Brooks is a Professor at Texas A&M University and the Director of the Center for Atmospheric Chemistry and Environment. Her research focuses on the interactions between aerosol particles and clouds, and their implications for global warming and air quality. Brooks employs both field studies and laboratory experiments to investigate the concentration, chemical composition, and surface reactions of aerosols, particularly their role in cloud formation and climate. Recent studies led by her team have shown how chemical particulate pollutants can travel significant distances, affecting air quality and aerosol/cloud interactions across regions. Operating from Texas, she participates in large-scale global campaigns to measure the concentrations and compositions of aerosols, facilitating the nucleation of ice crystals and warm cloud droplets. Brooks has advanced the understanding of complex aerosol/cloud interactions through innovative analytical techniques and observations. She has received notable recognition, including the Texas A&M Impact Fellowship and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.
