When the GOAmazon project is officially launched this week in Manaus, Brazil, Brookhaven Lab's Jian Wang will play a key role. Since joining the staff of the Lab's Atmospheric Sciences Division in 2005, Wang has developed and implemented new techniques for measuring concentrations and size distributions of tiny particles in Earth's atmosphere, and assessing their impact on the formation of clouds and Earth's climate.
