Researcher P.C. Brickell has made significant contributions to our understanding of boreal forest wildfires, atmospheric aerosols, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Their work focuses on reconciling carbon budgets, characterizing submicron organic aerosol, and quantifying emissions from oil sands regions. Studies using airborne observations have shed light on the total carbon budget for boreal forest wildfires, while others have investigated fugitive VOC emissions, temperature responses of submicron aerosols, and biogenic secondary organic aerosol events. These findings hold crucial relevance for mitigating climate change and improving air quality, with implications for environmental policy and management in regions like Alberta's oil sands region and Eastern Canadian forests.
